Does bobble deserve to drive the horse.Prison?Maybe a prison hospital?Maybe a morgue?He's a bad cheater and the answer would be dependent on how many gamblers he screwed they locked him up with. He's hurt many a gambler, owner, trainer, horse....the horse would probably win with a fat P Driver on him.I could compile hundreds of videos of evidence of his lack of effort, nor tries, burying live horses...bobble deserves nothing. Maybe his wife will dump him and find a suitor who is a proper provider.Shows how disintegrated this business is, a million wrongs are not righted by a one move monster of a horse that he pilots.Hope the horse finds a better driver too, one that's talented and doesn't cheat.
Trig I don't LOVE McClure but I wouldn't take the drive away from him, no way, no how, at this point.I like Bob. I gather you don't, and I have seen him do some dumb shit out there, but if you like it or not he's ended up behind some good ones and I don't think that's coincidence, and not for bad reasons.
He should stay in Canada too.
I agree he's not an inter-country player..but he did win the Hambo. I wouldn't seek him out, but I wouldn't take him off of one he was doing well with. I am not familiar with whatever criminal activity you're referring to, but if you can point to to some evidence of it, I will be more than happy to educate myself on it.
Back to what this thread is about - anyone interested in the sport should be excited about this colt.The Mohawk media crew is over the moon about him. It is going to be a bad look when (if?) he gets beat.That said, the pessimist in me wants to poke holes in him...but I haven't seen them yet.
^Some people love "doom & gloom" and can never be happy no matter what
I think Beau Jangles was lucky last year that the top few Indiana horses were not staked to grand circuit.This year, different story. I don't see anyone touching Beau Jangles.
Thanks for starting this thread SDST2009.. Alot of good points on here.I just got home from Scioto and watched the replay.. I will make a few pointsFirst, we can all agree the horse is an absolute monsterSecond, it is great for the sport to have a superstar, how "the powers that be"use that super stardom is an entirely different topicThird, of course the bobble doesn't deserve to drive this horse. He lucked into it. It's well documented that Roy was going to drive him his first lifetime start, but he had to be at The Meadowlands for the graduate finals. Right place, right time for McClure..Having said that..alot of drivers had no business driving some of our sports superstars.. SBSW MacDonell, Niatross Clint Galbraith, Jenna's Beach Boy and Western Hanover Bill Fahy..I could go on and on.. so not ultra rare.Lastly hopefully he comes to the states to compete..no horse in Canada is beating him. He is LBJ eligible and Dr. Moore hasn't been shy about racing here. Could he overcome post 7 or 8?
