What’s the deal is this guy going to get a fair chance to make a living and drive again at the Weg tracks?

When has he ever driven there?

When has he ever driven there?

I think he might have had a couple of drives at Mohawk back around 2007...but certainly never made a living driving there.

Fact is now they will not let him go to Flam Geo Wdb. It’s complete crap.

[STEW MCQUEEN]

I mean wouldn’t it be fun to add him to weg? 
Put everything aside. He might only bay 200 there. But it would still be fun to see! 

Oh and the money that would follow him.
It’s like everywhere the guy drives the handles are effected.
How do you leave him off the ticket. Even driving for me lol

[Rabbi Of Racing]

He did his time, should be allowed to drive anywhere, no excuses accepted

[STEW MCQUEEN]

Since the indictments came out all of a sudden it's the tracks that are trying to put on a good face and their just as guilty, them and the AGCO. I honestly believe that a good number have something to cover up, and the canaries will see to it that many more will be charged.

It hurts to say. But I agree with you.

It’s not fair or right that the powers that be can do this shit. The little guy can’t get a fair shake anymore. People need to learn second chances are deserving of people who put in the time and prove them selves again.

Was he not driving at all these other tracks a couple of years back? What changed? It’s clear he is a top Driver and gamblers like to bet him because he try’s on every horse he drives.

Flamboro he drove all last year , one of the top drivers,he was asked to leave ,yet they still allow a trainer with animal cruelty charges lending and another trainer with pending fines and suspension for abusing a horse in a race paddock

Let’s not for how long ago this shit was and how old he was. I think he’s suffered enough let him drive and show how good he really is.

  He hasn't done his "time". His "time" should have been served in prison, for the animal abuse. This scumbag should NEVER be allowed near a horse. St. Louis is a poster boy for why harness racing should be shut down.
