Besides his 2 Hambo races, Big Ranger has raced against absolute garbage in Ohio

The colts that is. In the filly Futurity, Busy Miss Lissy S got AE 1 after they re-drew the race.

Mostly true..except for..Tom Largo
Tom Largo has been his main competition
He is not a slouch
21 starts..11 wins..7 seconds..almost half a million in earnings lifetime
Lifetime mark of 151.4 at the Meadows

In regards to Big Ranger
I'd love to own  a trotter that has raced against absolute garbage that has banked
a million bucks and won 14 of 17 starts lifetime

Exactly...bottom line is how much has he made.  Why does it matter who he has beaten?  Lost by a whisker in the Hambo...that is quit an accomplishment for any horse.  He's no good because he didn't win that race?  He beat 8 really good horses and barely lost to the winner.

Because the owners tout him as same great horse

3 more races and off to stud.



0% shot of racing at 4

Ducked most of the races.

 Barely a blip in history

IMHO
Most every ligit horseman I have ever known would love to have some of that Ohio garbage in their barn.

I am just an old horse trainer still going around in circles. Sometimes Fast. Sometimes Half-Fast.

Yes, cheap fractions and he cleared well before the half, then got a 28.1 third quarter, asshole
