DO DRIVERS STILL GET TIPS
« on: June 17, 2026, 03:01:44 PM »
Most tracks have very good purses, and the drivers make a nice living. Do drivers still get tips?

I send money with my trainer to do this as I am not local.  He shares the wealth I sent with the driver.

Talk about driver tips, midway thru her 3-year-old season, Dexter Dunn was given 5% ownership of Twin B Joe Fresh.

Trainers actually take them out to dinner also.

Here is the answer:  it's called greasing the wheel!

If your driver has a choice of who to drive in a race, the driver will take your horse if they are both equal in talent!

I've seen Rodney Long tip his driver's right in the winners circle on camera.

Good guy!

An interesting story for 1 and all.

When the first horse I owned won her first race in 2004, I went to the barns at pompano park (RIP) to meet my driver Walter Ross Jr.  I tipped him $ 50 for the drive. I literally had to push the money in his hands. He wouldn’t take it. I told him to take his wife to dinner.

     If its not a stakes race I think $20-$100 is common
