Big ranger Ronnie gillespie

What’s everyone’s thoughts on changing trainers so late in game? Big Ranger .

Ronnie only made the horse about 495k.

Hes gotta be steaming .

Anybody have whole story?

It's not that complicated.

Who pays the bills gives the animal to a trainer they choose who is willing to take it.

You win 14 out of 16 races, horse of the year in Ohio ,
Make 500k

Can’t train for people like that .
Lose lose

If it don’t go well in hambo , it will be trainers fault right away.

The owners obvioiusly still have a lot of faith in him since he is breaking horses and racing a lot of horses in the OHSS for them, so it was not a "break."

If Big Ranger is good enough to become a viable stud they should give Gillespie at least a perpetual breeding and perhaps more, since, as has been pointed out, he "made" the horse.

I love Tetrick on pacers, be he is more problematic on trotters (higher % go galloping that I think should), so I find the driver choice a bit curious, but Anette Lorentzon is a gifted trainer of trotters.

She's used Tetrick on many of her horses over the years, most notable, retired top trotter Guardian Angel As.
