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.

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.
