Why would this be your profession ?

Being from Illinois, I wondered why recognizable names to me, why would these drivers be harness drivers :

UTRS Listings for 2025:
Dean Magee        $29,000
Kyle Husted         $26,000
Juan Franco         $15,500
Matt Avenatti       $  8,500       As of Nov. 12, 2025 this is approximately their salaries
                                             for driving alone. This is really sad and they are risking
                                             their well being each drive !

Go back to just reading post and stop being a Yo Yo.

If you think that's what they make then I got some good deals on a few 15 yr olds that fit non winners!

My friend,
Husted is an owner, trainer, driver, and breeder. Any or all of these may generate earnings.
Just ask his owners that write him and Amy Thousands of Dollars in checks every month.

Thank you Kirby, but you spelled ASS wrong. I see that you have over 3000 posts so you must have a great life. I'm going to start paying attention to your posts as I'm sure you are well respected on this forum. I was just calculating their income from drives and it's almost mid November. Maybe I should say ciphering like Jethro would talk in the Beverly Hillbillies so that you can understand. These drivers race at Hawthorne for a small number of days and the handle is horrible. Sorry, but I just don't understand how you can live on that money. Sure you can be a trainer- who a great many owners stiff, owner-where only a few have a profit, a breeder that has land that should be sold because the sport is dead and breathing only because of casinos, and a gambler that has no chance against the computer boys and with most mutuals under $5.00. Enjoy your life and thanks for your wisdom !!!
