Race#4-#6 RITSON 15-1 ML Virtually zero gate speed in here at all, been floundering this year but can get off the wings. Will be bombs away in here, worth a shot.
Race#7-#6 CAPTAIN FIREBALL 3-1 ML Debuts for Barrington off a sharp effort, I’ll expect even more improvement tonight.
Race#9-#5 DREAMFAIR ARNIE B 7-2 ML ***BEST BET*** Big debut last week, flashed huge back half making debut off of 6 months on the shelf. #4 will be the heave fave in here, Cullen can leave or come off the pace, versatile type, think he gets it done in this one tonight.
Best of luck! tmbz1

good luck with your picks Rabbit tmbz1
race 9 #5 Dreamfair Arnie B- i also like very much-faced tougher last year and had his obligatory tightener-should be ready for a top effort
I prefer the months of November thru April as far as Mohawk goes--i seem to struggle guessing who is ready and who isnt with all these horses coming off layoffs-i am not good at guessing especially with many stakes horses
race 2-#2 Amigo Volo has a big fitness edge on Logan Park-who hasnt raced in over 6 months-if this was 30-40 years ago Amigo Volo would be a solid win bet for me--but these days the layoffs dont mean as much-many are tight off the shelf
where is James Macdonald?

Baldie taking full advantage of JMac being out. A five bagger tmbz1
He hasn't forgot how to drive for sure maybe he did a few lines tonight 11.wp James ain't the only one capable there he's winning against other good drivers. Horse power helps..

James Macdonald should be given a 6 month vacation to think about his careless and lack of effort driving. And the judges should be all relieved of their duties. Another open trot race. Another joke of a half. Mohawk should race the open trot at 4am as a non betting race so the wagering public doesn’t have to watch such joke racing.

Race 2 – Judges spoke to Jody Jamieson (#5 Logan Park) regarding the second quarter

Not sure what you were expecting in that Open trot--the days of unnecessary fast fractions, movement and competitive racing are long gone--nobody forces the issue or plays hard ball
the purses are infused with gaming money-there is no need to have your horse get parked when there is plenty of money to race for the next time they all meet
its a friendly group of good ole boys-they are all friends and always provide a tuck or let someone get away with uncontested leads-no need to give a real effort
I expected Amigo Volo to at least try-but that didnt happen either
this isnt the 80s or 90s anymore-this is modern day harness racing

pappilion you are right, i have said for years , its a bros club and everyone knows their place and gets paid accordingly
tyler borth has learned, gave amigo hall the night the off after some big miles, maybe the judges should call him in
always some interesting bull shit in these agco reports
1. i see chad rozema is trying to become a judge, guess things did not work out at grand river ??, being a judge, nice retirement part time job if you can get it
2.so they "spoke " to jody about the slow second quarter, and what was the outcome or results of that discussion, a slap on the wrist i assume so why bother noting it and looking like fools
3. judges spoke to young about his urging style, he will make adjustments ?? in what way , what was deemed wrong and how is he to correct it
4. drivers meeting thursday... great , what is it for and will we know the things discussed and the results
typical nonsense from these jackals

Same lines of bullshit with no accountability, the drivers rule the roost ,no need for the judges
They even have a private driver's betting chat room

in defence of chad rozem grand river changed their managment position to a seaonal job 5 month contract cant live off that
-

not sure how serious grand river is giving out a 5 month contract

What did the judges say to baldy? Aka double J? Go the half in 57 instead of 58? He’s only trying to win more than his usual 1 race per week. It’s definitely a good ol boys club. Borth proved that correct in the same race. The horse leaves the gate for 20 starts in a row. And he rips the horses face off to tuck 4 hole in a joke of an opening 1/4. The judges are either betting on every race. Or just don’t care to do the job they were sworn to do. That’s why give them a 6 month vacation with no 5% checks and see how they drive. And I totally disagree with the person who stated Jody can still drive. He is horrible. Somehow he got lucky and won 5 races Monday night. A pet monkey could have driven the winner of the slow open trot. If he was such a good driver he wouldn’t have lost the drive on Bulldog Hanover.

what did they talk to him about? His favorite hockey team? His waistline? His dead hands that have a very difficult time communicating with driving bits? His latest haircut? Stephanie’s boobs?

The judges should have asked Borth why he didnt try with Amigo Volo-not the winner who got away with walking the dog on the front end
in my humble -Jody can still turn in some excellent drives-but only when he wants to-and that is the guessing game id rather not play--hard to predict when he will give a real effort

I suppose he wanted to keep the drive. Someone needed to take on Logan Park but no driver with sense wanted to be that someone.

Amigo Volo--who has been blasting the gate-could have easily sat a pocket trip
agree no one was going to attack Logan Park first over-but Borth's effort was questionable

Exotics pay outs are way better with Borth 4th

I Agree Jody isn't what he once was, but you haven't been following Woodbine or Mohawk to say he can't drive when given the horse power. This dude was leading driver many years in a row at Woodbine and Mohawk at the time. He lost the drive to Dexter Dunn now cmon now we're talking about one of the best in the world no shame in that. Jody was a cokehead in his younger days which lead to him being fearless and being very aggressive which lead to him being leading driver in Canada in his heyday. Now he doesn't abuse horses he rides the rail most nights and if he has the best he will win.
