Really only a few expected as Dexter and Zeron each qualified 2.

 I expect Scotty to stay with Maximus Mearas.  I have a guess that he was actually given the chance to stay with Super Chapter after the EBC but has been committed to MMS all winter.  Meshugga is a nice horse but kind of finicky and a slight step behind the top ones.  He has shown a few breaks leaving so driver will be important. 

I think Dunn goes with Super Chapter but if not then I think David drove him a bit last year and may get the call.

Two drives with Tetrick, Miller, JMac, Bartlett and others free

Both You and Harness Racer expect...in most every case we go with the Driver's choice, in very rare times it turns out the horse they got off, wins.

I see the value in both Zero's picks, my pick Is Meshuggah.

I imagine it's going to be a tough choice for SZ.

But I don't give a shit, I'm with Meshuggah, besides the fact, that was MMS second race back, and while looked great a lot of times they come back sore when they put in a big effort, MMS put in a 80% effort and still looked great.

Meshuggah!

I agree

I love Super Chapter, who doesn't, the horse doesn't know his limitations, and MMS was looking better than him in the stretch.  Odds, who ran fastest last and before, it's about who is peaking first and foremost.

MMS looked like a million bux, SC looked like a million bux spent and....

Mushuggah is ready to murder to finally get to run!

I like Meshugga and think if SZ gets him free earlier he would have been 2nd and maybe won the elim.  I just think he is 3rd best of Melander’s and think if MMS wasn’t an option SZ would take whoever Dex didn’t drive over him.

Absolutely agree

Anybody remember the Pelling Quote when his driver opted off one of his horse in the final of The Little Brown Jug?
This was several years ago.

[Bitter Truth]

The one I remember best is Mike LaChance getting the drive on Shady Character and winning the Jug.
I believe it was Pierce's choice.

Yannick had choice of Pinkman and Mission Brief and picked wrong.  I predict dexter takes Maryland barring he draws 9-10 holes.  I think Zeron sticks with Maximus Meras.  Meshuggah gets some swedish import and Super Chapter gets anyone but Tetrick or David.  I guarantee they will not let those two drive Super Chapter.  Depending on where Maryland draws he's going right down the highway as hard and as fast as he can.  Let him get loose on the lead and you will never catch him.  I think they will be straight alignment at the 1/4 OR if someone is parked they are going to be taking major air because Dexter won't let anyone go and will send him on a speed mission.  First three starts mean nothing and Dexter played the long game along with Melanders.  He's got one race to win and one time to empty the tank.  Saturday he will be ready to launch.
