I've seen some bad drives and bad drivers. But michael Dailey. Wow

[PurpleSheetPicks]

Never in my life have I seen such a bad drive. This guy needs his license to drive in races taken immediately.
Shenandoah race 4 Sunday.
Rail is 6 to 5, he is 8 to 1 from 2 hole
Gate springs,  nobody leaves looks like they will get away number order
So the 2 decides he is going to push the 1 a little to get him a little tired before taking the perfect pocket trip right?

So he pushes the 1, then keeps pushing .mind you the pocket can fit 5 horses on it. But he decides to get parked to the half in 57 before fading through the field.
I like virginia and think they are doing a good job for the future of racing, but I wint bet another race there if I dont see him fined or suspended.

Quite possibly the worst drive ive ever seen. And that's saying alot

Worse than Ceba?

[Kirby's Ace]

Can't be. I thought I was the worst. But hes going for the title.

[PurpleSheetPicks]

Worse than Ceba?

Ceba certainly pulls at some wild times and drives on when he shouldn't,  but ceba pr even Stevie Wonder could have seen this pocket and known the pocket to the favorite would be a better option than getting parked to the half in 57.
I looked in the pps to see if the horse "needed" the front, or was a run away, but horse hadn't been on rhe front its last 7.

Just inexcusable
I see he is a p driver. Time to take the p back

The "sport" of harness racing has attracted a very suspect talent pool for decades, and is shrinking due to the anonymity of harness racing in general.  Just like a high school team from a strong area could crush any WNBA team, even spotting them points, so could an average person hop in the bike and be competent relative to what is out there now.  It is far more dangerous to allow these mental midgets with some experience to drive as opposed to allowing a better stock to drive with less experience.   Ask anyone actuary or person deep in the insurance game and they will quickly tell you the correlation between good grades and safety.

This is the best take of anything ive read on here for years. Ty

Reminds me of the team managers I used to get for my football teams.
If you can play any sport you do.  Or you play an instrument. Or you are in drama club. Or you get a job..Or the ors go on...unless its a girl that just wants to be close to the players, the talent pool for high school managers is low to very low lol.
I remember getting mad for them not filling the water right, or letting the water run out without refilling it (their only task), then I remembered the talent pool i was working with lol

If you think that drive was bad. Go watch race 8 at Northfield. Tyler Angus on a Jessica Millner EPO enhanced race horse. He somehow gets parked the mile at 3/5. The guy is just a complete failure as a driver.

Ill watch. But the odds of me seeing a worse drive the same night after watching races 30 years is low to extremely low

OK I watched
It took 2 seconds to see you are not understanding
Getting parked when 6 horses leave for the front and there aren't any holes os not the same as getting parked from the 2 hole when only the rail gorse leaves, and by doing so does you a huge favor giving you 5 lengths to drop in the pocket,  but chosing not to at 8 to 1.
Your guy had bad racing luck.
Dailey literally had a gift trip handed to him but instead chose to get parked to half and finish up track. If he took pocket 99.999 percent chance he is first or second
