Title: Ray Schnittker needs to stay off the track
Post by: PineHurstPacer on July 01, 2026, 06:12:18 PM
No excuse for the interference with R. Wrenn in the 5th race today

He's to slow to react on the track and dangerous at this point......can't control his horse

Do you think he could still beat up Yarock and/or Mike?

Oh really? Then why hasn't he? Four years been hearing this, step up or shut up. Never happen, fucking cowards. As for Yarock, why did Ray need Ford to double team Yarock? Can't face anyone like a man? Or was he living out a fantasy?  ngc3
Time to hang em' up before he hurts someone. He tell everyone he voted to reinstate Nick Devita? Ask him. He hasn't been the same since Gareth quit.  tmbz1

Same with Gerold Longo. He's 80 years old and very dangerous out there.

Ray is a good driver. He’s getting up there, but he’s still better than most of these kids.

Just busting your balls.  That midget fuck can’t beat up anyone.  He wouldn’t try to bully anyone other than an older guy because he knows he’d get smacked!

No one drove a horse harder in his heyday than Schnittker!

Beat Beat Bang Bang Slash Slash

The guy was brutal!

Then he had the audacity to scratch out of the second heat of the Jug when he drew poorly to "protect the horse"

OK buddy!

I remember racing against him and Keystone Tort up at Buffalo in the late 70's.

Ray is the hardest working guy I know. He's not scared to put up other drivers, not much to pick from at the Meadows. I know he sure doesn't need to go the Meadows. He's had a pretty good career, Hambo, Meadowlands pace etc. He can be a sarcastic jerk sometimes, he can afford it.

Correct!  The day after he won a big races with Dewey, he was hard at work with the horses entered to race the next day!

If you tour Harrisburg [the black book]with him, it can be an interesting experience.  I did it in 2007.

Have not watched him drive lately, but in the 1980's Ray drove one of my trotters, Royal Son, whom I had claimed from Joe Pavia at the Meadowlands.  It was his first time on a half miler at Yonkers, and Ray did a GREAT job with him.  Excellent hands and feel for the horse.  His time in that race would be respectable TODAY for medium class trotters, and that was 40 years ago!!

He's driving a few at Goshen on Saturday July 4.  I believe there is a youtubelive feed for this.  If you can find the feed, you can watch for yourself and draw your own conclusions!

One of my favorite races is when Maven defeated Check Me Out the Schnittker wonder horse. He is bad for the sport.

Hasn't been relevant since Gareth quit.

As these horses continue to get fast the reaction time diminishes and we are seeing the results of that when theses drivers age.

A lot of things can be said about him.
