This ^^^

So many people still under estimate just how good JMac is.
Top 5 in North America and it's not even an argument.

Couldn’t agree more….James Mac is easily a top 5 guy…..I also think Louis P Roy is right up there as well, he can drive with anyone.

J Mac has been getting better and better ever since he went stateside during COVID.  He is fucking awesome now and one of only a handful of guys I have seen who make horses better than they look on paper and seem to be able to "talk" to his horse through his hands (Dexter, Campbell, Sears, young and hungry Timmy T. and Dave Magee)

You're right and it's extraordinarily special. 

Once in a rare while nowadays we see that "horse whisperer" driver, calmly not pull a breaker or allow one to get out of contention.  Calmly, and quickly get the pacer / trotter while losing ground back into their stride, and use that kind of high stepping righted advantage to accelerate and do something magical. 

Yes, and the better that HW driver is, the faster they could take a new horse, virtually any horse and connect and improve and go on one helluva ride.  It's a beautiful thing.  Human's have called it with other humans - love at first sight - and it don't happen that often with them.

Very nice indeed, surged by the 1/9 like she was standing still.

Twin B Joe Fresh might need some R & R, she's still queen of NA, just not tonight.

Great day for bridge jumpers, so many locks either won or hit the board, T-breds, Thorpedo Anna in a 5 horse field, 1/4 not even 1/9 but show pool open too and she murdered them for fun.  Sick!   ngc3

James' best quality is his character.
He's never forgot his roots/where he came from and still takes the time to acknowledge and talk to "the little guy".

He's one of the very few drivers, providing he doesn't have a drive at Mohawk, that will stick around to drive an $8k claimer in the last race at Clinton for a local trainer.

Most of the prima donnas leave right after their OSS drives are done for the day.

Guy thinks he knows everything and doesn’t know shit.  Hope he leaves as fast as he got here.  One of the dumber things said and that’s quite an accomplishment!

On the first page of this thread I was followed up with that same question and I answered. 

I said "might".

However after watching the Roses are Red final again which TBJF won wrapped up in 148 4/5, and the Perfect Sting where TBJF was urged and produced the same time on the mile track as the 7/8, there is a problem there.

Sylvia looks loads better as she did not need urging in the Perfect Sting yet Bobble was cracking her good in the Roses are Red, huge improvement, she looks like she might be the new head bitch in charge and TBJF is going the other way. 

I'll remove might and say she needs something, she ain't getting better, next race will be a tell.

Now that you expounded how I have been on your radar, and you've let you're feelings be known, and you seem to have a lot of them on (me) a newbie nobody, we're gonna have a lot of fun, at least I am with U.....   ;D

Won the Confederation Cup and then drove in the next and final race which was a 7 claimer for JR Plante. Classy as they come and he deserves everything he gets. He has stayed to drive countless horses for me in B and C tracks when he could’ve gone home. He also drove my first winner as trainer.

You don’t think it’s the driver change???   If a horse dropped 3 seconds with a driver change from Nick Clegg to Dexter Dunn would you also think it wasn’t the driver change?



All things equal, looks like both mares were at100% and TBJF dominated. SH great mare but the driver change had no barring.

Dominated from the rail.

Far outside lost by 2 1/2 lengths.

The 1 hole was a gift.

No one is supposed to beat her from the wood, and they didn't.

No one even tried either, they were horrible, no competition.

All moot points, if you really know , watch racing then you should know that the SH having the outside had little to effect after she went a 29 second 2 nd 1/4. These are the two best aged mare in the world right now, so 29 1/4 equalized the post out at the 1/2. Know the game little pup before you start yelling, cause only big dogs bark
