and the other entry hit the board with Ronnie pushing the pace, thanks for proving my point.

I did not prove your point. There was zero reason to not let Ronnie go. He wasn’t going to back into him.
If you want to justify this guy getting the best horse beat, by all means go right ahead, though.

[Call Sign Merlin]

Not a fan of this race and the timing - especially for the baby trotters.  Most have only had 1 maybe 2 qualifiers and now you are pushing them to the max because of the $150k purse.  Should find another window for it to happen or make it a series

[titans1127]

Still baffles me that when AMac started The Stable, part of it had to do with him not being a very good driver.  He openly admitted that.  And yet 11 years later, he is always the one driving when the big money is on the line instead of using a more competent catch driver.

So you’re 1-1 going for $150k you’re going to let an unraced horse who hasn’t beat 2:00 go after the half so he can back it down to get the entry first over?

nah. was never going to happen and Wrenn knew it

I didn’t say it was a great drive by AM but it was a horrific drive by RW.

[seen2much]

Those that do their research know A-Mac is an awful driver. Him driving is what you signed up for.

You didn't do AMac any service today or before.

That's not even loyalty.

Just proving you're just as deranged as him in a different supporting role.

Openly acting and sounding like an @sshole.

You're obviously weak, and the little bit of intelligence you have you use to defend stupidity and blame others.

A good strong opinion sits down with AMac and asks what are your strongest abilities in this biz? 

You f'ing wait for an answer and keep your f'ing mouth shut, and then see from his own words what in any role he can play is salvageable.

More syndicates will start along TheStable lines, everyone shooting to be a successful Burke type fractional operation.

TheStable ain't it, at this rate will never be.  It's been vulnerable.  The lawsuits and investigations are immanent

[AsPromised]

Amac says in his video he keeps playing back the race in his head and there is no other way he would have drove the horse.

Couldn't have been a worse drive and outcome, yet he said that. 

According to investors LA is racing in a week.

Case closed.

From his hardcore, die hard, loyal fractional investors...

1. Wrenn's horse was 8/5 so evidently he was no slouch
2. So according to Amac Lou might have mucus or maybe it was his blood after it is tested.
3. Amac makes the comment that if he would have let Wrenn go he would have gotten pinned in by Wilder. When Amac was being Amac Wilder was at least 6 lengths behind.
4. If the idiot had let Wrenn go at the half, Wrenn most likely would have taken Amac to the top of the stretch so if you have the 1/2 shot you could either go to the right or go into the passing lane and at worst he is 2nd.
5. Amac needs a mirror since he has the lines and according to Amac its never his mistake, other than trying to take a shortcut going inside the pylons. It was Lou that made him go into the passing lane.
6. So lets see Amac put up $20K plus got $18 back and probably billed his sheep $2K-$3K for his amateur efforts taking into account his travel espenses.
Amac is and always has been a complete joke but I give him credit for following PT Barnum s philosophy that there is a sucker born every minute
7. Can't wait to see Lou's next start

You sound upset that someone has a different opinion than you.
try working on that.

Yes. When the other part of the entry is 50-1, yes.

The only reason that horse hit the board is that Anthony didn't let that horse - who was the second choice in the first 2yo stake of the year, mind you - would easily have carried him as far as he needed to go. Let's assume your theory of an entry set up is accurate, despite what appears to be completely separate ownership. Who do you think, of Beachy's horses, was the one they were trying to set up to win?

Instead, AMac drives that really nice colt like he's the second coming of Nevele Pride, and ends up with nothing.

I agree it wasn't the best drive by Ronnie. When he ranged up there and saw AMac was in the process of f-ing up, he should've ducked. Cost them both any money at all.

[Brown jug]

not the finest moment for either driver
amac parked 28 to the qtr than has to trot a 27.3 third qtr
for trotters masking their first or second start, unnecessary
its a terrible slot for the race and likely does damage to these horses

[Reh]

He says he don’t think he could have drove him any differently. Well if that’s the case, he should never drive that horse again. Let Ronnie go, sit, and you always have the passing lane if he happened to get boxed in. Free ticket!!! Never would admit he drove him terrible & probably put a pretty good wrinkle in him. He looked like a pretty nice colt but that will more than likely b the end of him. Guess could always take him to the fairs but the ones he took to fairs last week didn’t fair too good. Just remember, just a two yr old and first lifetime start. Think of the colt first and not your narcissistic mind. Not the first one cooked and won’t b the last.
