Joe B in great form

[Cashout]

      Joe Bongiorno driving right now as good as anyone. He puts horses in position and closes the deal.  He’s definitely taken his game to another level.   

[Harness racer]

He has a nice start to the year driving.  When the regular colony comes back, he won't be getting top choices on any other than his own.  I think that will bring him back down to earth.  I think he is a good driver, just not on the level of the top guys.

Yeah it’s a shame he wasn’t in that wreck at scioto downs that piece of garbage

        Totally uncalled for Jeenuss245 ,  hope that karma doesn’t boomerang on you

Yeah it’s a shame he wasn’t in that wreck at scioto downs that piece of garbage

   Clearly you have yet to learn about Karma. Go play in traffic, MORON!

Another lowlife heard from

[Sweet]

If the driving colony at Mohawk all tried like Joe, their handle would be probably double in size.

He gives gamblers a reliable effort.

He trains and owns too.

Burke uses him.

He won the Borgata in 23', here from the #5 at almost 50-1.  Just pushed that horse to the top hard.

On the flip side...

He's whipped horses very hard after efforts have failed and they were out of contention for a check.

Interviewed before a race and seemingly eluded he was not going to try, or bad choice of words.

That race with Nicole.

Controversy with his family - his sister training? - high performances that were controversial (enhancing drugs?).

The verdict is he's talented, highly competitive, reliable, a horseman and driver and owner -  and - might cross the line for an edge, and often uncontrollable frustration and anger at horses who tried and failed.  A very complex person who knows right from wrong yet the history is long and current.
