Reminder to myself, never bet horseplop touts!

You only bet the ones getting bad mouthed about sucking!  It’s a reverse curse.

The meer fact that Dr. Rucker lets him drive some of his horses tells me that the teenager has some go to him.

So aren't you going to give the answer to your trivia question?

Phenom?

I know Pierce won a driving title there in the 80's so I agree with Bitter Truth.

Yes it was the now retired character, that is maybe better known for the unbeatable horse (SBSW) that he beat, and for  "The wave".
Ron Pierce

I had sent a  couple horses and a groom up there for the meet. I only went up to drive them.
I would go up there and the groom would say this guy keeps coming around ever morning wanting to drive our horses.
I took offense till I learned he went through ever barn every morning.
My groom was a sexy young farm girl fresh out of high school. Maybe that is why he came visiting every morning.

"The Ron Pierce Wave"
Anyone want to explain what it was for any that may not know?

[Bitter Truth]

Gosh Trigger, that's INSANE that I was right all along.

[Bitter Truth]

Pierce on Passionate Glide beating Trond [not sure what horse] at Lexington in a two horse race off.
Waved at him as he pulled pocket and blew by in the stretch.

I withdrew the insane comment.

I praised your Pierce selection.

Off the top of our heads, you aced me as a historian, and, too boot I was using the internet and still couldn't get it right!

BitterTruth's Harness Knowledge Rocks!!!

[Bitter Truth]

On a side note, my wife [a big Pierce fan] got the whip from that race as well as the one
from Donato Hanover's Ky. Fut. win,and one from a Lex. win on Art Official. I have the one
from his win on Like A Prayer in Ky. Fut.

Ron Pierce is a dirtbag who should have lost his license for life. He served a 6 month suspension for one of the most vile and repulsive acts I ever saw or heard about. If you were around Harness Racing in 1978, you know what I am talking about. Anytime I hear people praise that scumbag, I want to throw up.

So what did he do?  Some of us weren’t around then.

Yes, what did he do when he was 21 years old?

Why is his age important? Find out for yourself. I am sure someone you know can tell you.
