So many great names there. You can make an argument for most of them. Tough to narrow it down to four. I never saw Keith Waples in his prime, but I did see Shelly Goudreau throughout the at the end of the 70's and into the 80's (before he died in 82). I never saw Joe O'Brien, but I know plenty of people who did, and they have more than qualified opinions, and I respect them. While some may make an argument, my friend George Sholty was truly great. Many great, great horsemen consider Mike Lachance as the greatest all-around horseman. You can make an argument for all of these men, and plenty more.

It's a great game, if you have the means to play

 It doesn't hold weight when people are only doing something out of spite, after being kicked out & having nowhere to go.

IMHO
I think it took a much more capable and well rounded driver to win races a few decades ago.
Therefore
Don Busse, Daryl Busse, Del Insko, and Bob Farrington.
These four each won national dash winning championships driving Knee Knocking, Cross Firing, and all around Bad Gaited Nickel Pickles.
Only in their later years did they get to drive Point and Go horses like Dunn and Tetrick drive regularly.
If Busse, Busse, Insko,and Farrington drove back then like Dunn and Tetrick do today with their hand holds in their belly buttons, they would be turning somersaults in the first turn not winning races.
Busse, Busse, Insko, and Farrington had to do all the tactical things of todays drivers plus concendrate more on keeping their horses upright.
I am just an old horse trainer still going around in circles. Sometimes Fast. Sometimes Half-Fast.

  • Trigger: Kirby, take a couple of months and treat me as respectfully as I treated you.  Calhoun stood up for you and you acted like an entitled horror show.  Non stop complaing and insulting.  I didn't ask for your screen name, and I don't care who you are.  Should I  ngc3?
