sad part of this saga is that JMac is clearly the best driver at Mohawk with Roy a distant 2nd

possibly a motivated Jody Jamieson(which isn't often) on occasion, when his father has a nice young horse--then JJ is actually better under those conditions

Yes they do.. the ONLY reason I ever play there is #1 it's a steaks night.. breeders crown is there this year. #2  the early pick 5 guaranteed pools. You cannot get that kind of pick 5 pool at any other harness track.  CAW has gotten worse, and it is starting to spread everywhere like a fungus. The bigger t- bred tracks it's not as noticeable.. but watch a race at Finger Lakes tomorrow.. it's horrible.

I wanted to tell ya but we get so busy, Friday night into Saturday I spoke with Any1left.  He pm'd me and we connected outside.  Never knew him before my name sake thread he started.

The best fucking stories ever.  Laughed so hard I cried, and they just get better and better.  Wild, crazy shit, big names and over the top nuts!

Not just about the horse racing world, poker too, underground shit, just awesome.  ngc3

Correct nothing will happen to JMAC with the Chantilly non try. JJ just seems disinterested most of the time. I never cared for Trevor. McNair or bobble is the 3rd best there.. jmho

If Papa Carl, his own horse is live they're sent.  True though JJ is at times sporadic, but gives live horse's a try and doesn't mind knocking a 1/9 out too with a last minute, I fucked ya.

JJ OD'ing at a hockey game is where he was heading, life has improved and he loves the fans, real love he shows.

They all fuck us, c'mon.  ngc3

Can you imagine if the T Breds had 6 furlong races go 25   50.3   and the last quarter in 21.4 or and type of event went the end of an event everyone is fresh and at their best the era of jackie Mo and Ron Pierce AND john Cambell and others moving and moving and moving and you never saw 125 and a 151.3 finish time as first halfs were run tough,  At the pro bowl in football the best players in the world are showcased and no one puts out 100 percent and that game always has no crowd with the poorest audience watching football,  unless you are betting the game its hard to watch.     In any event action brings in crowds and almost everyone i know does not play these days.

The Drurys are probably the nicest people in the game and pee wee Barry Drury won well well over 2 races a year as 9one year he won 5-6 races on Highland Jet and many on Eternal Star and others but Ron Waples other catch driver Dave Furness was the 1-3 winners a year and Feagan had Kerry Davies as most regular drivers used non talent when not around,  Stead used Curt Bond and Kovacs but i can not remember who Brown used,  Feagan also used Gary Feagan also and he would go years without a win.

Waples used Furness, Drury and Tom Struss
Feagan used Davies and Gary
Stead used Kovacs and Bond
Wes Coke used Wayne Hussey, and Clarke ???
Bill Wellwood used Paul Larrabee
Brian Webster used Rick Webb

They used those guys because they worked for them a 2nd trainers.... Brown didn't train in the early days nor Condren

Your 100% right the Drury's are a great family, Barry and his wife travel 100 miles to attend my father funeral and they only knew us from the track!!!!
