Just another race at Northfield
« on: January 20, 2026, 10:56:12 PM »
Race 14...Tyler Angus is on the 9. He puts his horse on the gate in the No. 2 spot. John Ciocca is the No. 2 horse and he is behind Angus. What the hell. Of course there is a recall. Tyler Angus is a regular driver. Why the hell would he put his No. 9 horse on the second spot on the gate? Are all these guys drunks?

Boneheaded move should come with a fine.

Cory d should be pretty pissed at the drive Noble gave his horse in the 12th.

Noble has not been driving anywhere near like he had been for his first month. He'll win the finale, but that 12th race he was so far behind. I missed if he was a DNF or what. Merriman must have been crying cause he got his five wins tonight. Irvine has been winning of late also.

Noble couldn’t steer him in the first turn.  So instead of dropping him in 4th and trying an outside move later, he stays parked the entire mile.

he always sits parked. he has gotten away with it for so long. like the guy is good but it's not like he is a young man. if he was as good as everyone says he should have more way more lifetime wins than he does.

George Brennan did this in a major race at Woodbine, purse over $700k, over 20 years ago but he had post #12--#2 was steppy so Brennan assumed he could start from post #2--there was no recall

the horse ran a big race and finished 2nd at long odds but was DQd

they did fine Brennan

it was Life Source
