He is being used as a scapegoat. Race tracks acting like they are protecting the integrity of their product. Ohio is a joke. He is a very talented driver. Northfield has become a better product in the dismal world of harness racing.
Danny is a very good driver top three in OH. Yes he has had his problems in the past many has. He towers over the other northfield drivers ability wise. Hence the reason he is winning 5-7 races a night.
Dan certainly has talent. He has ability. Without question. Big fish in a small pond. Much better than everyone else. There is meaning behind the numbers though. There are reasons. One, it's too soon. Too small a sampling. Two, what percentage of his drives are on his own horses, or for certain "friendly" trainers, verses pure catch drives? Even if it's not that much, the intimidation factor still plays out. Three, his talent/ability is distorting his #'s because of the stage he's performing on. Four, watch him over a longer period of time. His current UDRS is distorted. I'll bet Tetrick and McNair are running close to 400 right now.
Then why is he banned at Scioto and Dayton? Why was he forced to race out of detention during the season then not required to race out of detention the last night?
We deserve to know these answers: why is he banned at Scioto and Dayton? Why was he forced to race out of detention during the season then not required to race out of detention the last night? His win times were 1:46.4, 1:47, 1:47, and 1:47.2 while the win times for the rest of the races were 1:51.1, 1:51, 1:50.2, 1:51, 1:49, 1:49.1, 1:50.1, and 1:51.3.
