I don’t have and opinion on him either way. But John Campbell, Mike L, Ron P, or Dave Miller would not have had the 5 hole with Confederate having the 4 and get away 9by 13 with Confederate getting away 5th. Not even a good enough driver to call it poor

The horse had zero chance in the final as previously said. Zero early speed and 6-1 was a vicious underlay against what might be the best horse ever after that mile last night. NOBODY was beating that animal with any type of trip. END OF STORY

tmbz1 You are consistently a non biased voice of clarity and reason here. One of the better posters, IMHO
-
The way that post times are dragged around has had an impact on the starts that few realize! Gone are the days when a driver could "fire up " a slow leaver in order to follow a favorite that is outside of him on the gate! There should be a countdown clock at every track that activates at 2 minutes from the start time. Some drivers have the ability to make an elephant go a 12 second eighth of the gate. If you are aware of which guys possess this skill,it is an advantage to not only other drivers but gamblers as well!

The timers on the inside of the track all have the lag time on them. The drivers know exactly when the gate will start moving unless there is an unexpected issue

If you’re talking about coach stefanos he left in every one of his early starts at Hoosier against buzzsaw Russ. He should of at the bare minimum been able to follow confederate. But pretty much what I’ve been saying all year about Hoosier “top” drivers like Delong and Trace. They both better hope that any of the top guys never come to hoosier full time or they will be driving the starting car to earn a living.

LARRY LEGEND IS 1000% correct. Trace came to Dover with his brother and Tony Morgan helping him. Still a lost cause. Nice racetrack weak driver colony.

Good career move for Brent Holland. he can follow in Andy Toscano's footprints.
