Title: Monticello Race 1 2/5/26
Post by: Billsmafia on February 05, 2026, 12:56:33 PM
Take a look at Winter Asher-Stalbaum winning the first race at Monti today. Winter who has less than an unblemished record at a good number of tracks, passes the lead horse driven by Jim Taggart just past the three quarters. Winter then turns around and waves bye-bye to the field. What a classless thing to do.

Ron Pierce did something similar a few years before he retired--the judges and the public ate him alive for doing the identical thing. Do Monticello judges have enough in their arsenal to send Winter a message?

By the way, Winter also won the second race at Monticello. Both were by large margins. Not bad for someone with UDRS of .186.

The Waving" will stick in the minds of his fellow drivers for a while. There will be no "courtesy tucks " for him for a long time. Typical Bonehead move!

he would benefit from some advice to slow his roll a bit.
No one likes getting shown up.

The kid has a bad habit with the whip and left Maine after receiving 3 fines in 3 days. He made a deal to not return to Maine if they dropped the fines and days.

It was either harness racing or medical school.

Judges did call for him, I assume for that move.
