Seriously now, go and ask someone who has owned grand circuit horses. They could tell you the truth on this.

Most tracks have very good purses, and the drivers make a nice living. Do drivers still get tips?

Absolutely. Smart owners tip. Money talks.

If your driver has a choice of who to drive in a race, the driver will take your horse if they are both equal in talent!

EXACTLY!
