I send money with my trainer to do this as I am not local. He shares the wealth I sent with the driver.

Trainers actually take them out to dinner also.

Here is the answer: it's called greasing the wheel!

If your driver has a choice of who to drive in a race, the driver will take your horse if they are both equal in talent!

When the first horse I owned won her first race in 2004, I went to the barns at pompano park (RIP) to meet my driver Walter Ross Jr. I tipped him $ 50 for the drive. I literally had to push the money in his hands. He wouldn’t take it. I told him to take his wife to dinner.

If its not a stakes race I think $20-$100 is common

Seriously now, go and ask someone who has owned grand circuit horses. They could tell you the truth on this.
