   In almost 50 years of watching the races, I can count thousands of brutal drives. The one that does stick out was at Hoosier Park years ago. The trainer, Herb Brown, also drove this monster named Suburbanite. Herb had him locked in, strangling the poor guy. The two horses ahead of him parted a little bit, and Herb drove Suburbanite up in between, ramming both bikes. The sad thing is he did this again. I couldn't believe what i was watching. A couple of weeks later, he put up Doc Holliday, and set the track record, I believe.

     Sincerely, Silent One
Getting stuck in is bad luck. Getting parked when the 2 hole is there is a choice

The obvious ones like Ceba and this idiot mentioned in the title are not really the problem.  The problem are the ones that drive in 80% of a cards races and continually make the wrong decisions, with improvement never coming.
All it takes is 1 bad drive for one gambler with 1 bet to lose him for life

If you think that drive was bad. Go watch race 8 at Northfield. Tyler Angus on a Jessica Millner EPO enhanced race horse. He somehow gets parked the mile at 3/5. The guy is just a complete failure as a driver.
You just realized that now??? No talent hack from day one! The only difference is now he's a seasoned hack!!

A month or two ago, Angus had the 9 horse. He ducked into the 2 hole at the top of the stretch and wouldn't let the 2 in. They had to have a recall. How dumb to you have to be knowing you are the 9 and then being on gait at Northfield.

seriously

Pretty much on a daily basis at every track there are dozens of "moves" that baffle anyone with sense.  I wish more announcers were like Jack Gallagher.  I love it when he mixes in the "not sure why he pulled" type comments in the call of the race.  "For some reason he's off the rail" type always are so nice to hear. 

In fact, I sat with a few B level drivers years ago, and while they were watching the races with me they were suggesting what a driver should so, and they were SO wrong most of the time.  These are not bright men.

Yeah hes funny pointing it out. But dover is much more competitive fields with more horses that makes you have to think fast sometimes into a mistake.
This guy made a mistake clearly trying to go around the rail fav from the 2 hole, had 10 to 15 seconds to slide into gigantic pocket....didnt

Gallagher bets, so he doesn't like bad drivers getting in his horse's way because of an incompetent driver.

Watch the 2nd race at Vernon from this past Saturday, 4/25.  I don’t know what’s worse, Leon Bailey losing a 1/9 shot at the top of the stretch up by a dozen or Joe Nassimos not seeing the favorite off stride the length of the stretch and crashing into the back of the horse causing an accident.

Ceba won from the 8 hole tonight at harrington
Dailey could drive in a million races from 8 hole and not hit board in any. He proved he can't handle 1 horse inside him, let alone 7
