Title: Walter Case
Post by: MIKE CAMPBELL on November 25, 2023, 02:52:17 PM
If Case was such a talent, shouldn't he be doing better than he is? How can this supposed legend not even be top 5 in fucking Maine?

At first, I thought the same thing but the leader up there in Maine is Bruce Ranger and he is older than Case. You then have guys like Hennessey and Dave Miller who are as old or older and they are doing fine. My buddy says it was the coke. Without it, he was average. Who the fuck knows.

He does not go for the lead that much there and when he does he gets his wins but I would have thought he could dominate there, even now.

62 or 63.
David Miller (born December 10, 1964) is an American harness racing driver and trainer. He is 58 and will turn 59 next month.

Case does NOT lean back any longer either in the sulky like he did in his heydays at Yonkers. He looks more like the 1960s-1970s drivers in the bike now.

Like a lot of 'GREAT'[He 'WAS' one] athletes [yes, I feel they're athletes] they stick around too long. Most out of vanity. In his 'case'[pardon the pun] I think it's more out of necessity.

I think he was way overated. I can name at least 25 drivers in my opinion that were better than him and yet I hear some people say they never saw anyone better and I just don't agree. Of course it's all subjective and there is no way to prove who is/was the greatest but like I said, I don't think he is close.

Title: Re: Walter Case
Post by: Bitter Truth on November 25, 2023, 06:44:52 PM
 That must have been when Cambest was older or he exchanged hands, because i 'KNOW' Rankin drove him at Nfld in Cleveland Classic vs Precious Bunny + Artsplace as a 3 yr old.

Have you keyboard junkies ever been behind a horse? Do you really think that Walter is getting the power he used to get at Yonkers? Walter is getting so - so horses and still winning races. I find it funny that some of you have never been behind a horse and have these idiotic statements. If Walter was back at Yonkers (even today) he would hold his own. Class B tracks is no gage for his talent.

i believe it was the presidential series.it was the beginning of the end of case. he left to get back to yonkers and didnt take a piss test and then copped an attitude and told them he was the leading driver in the country he didnt need to take no test and got suspended.i belive cambest was 5 or maybe 4

Personally I could care less if Case ever wins another race. He abused horse after horse with his boots. He almost murdered his then wife. He did enough coke to be in the Cocaine Hall of Fame. Just another model citizen in the world of harness racing.

Just more of people who know and people who have no idea. Dave Rankin drove Cambest for Dan Altmeyer unti Altmyer sold him. Then Case got on him. I'll let whoever wants to figure out the trainer and why the trainer picked Case. As far as Case, if you know anything about harness racing and how to really rate a driver, other than being an after dinner speaker, then you would admire and respect his talent, ability, skills, and so on. He rated at the top in every category as a driver. It was obviously his personal, mental, off the track, demons, whatever you want to call it that ruined his career.

As far as today, I doubt anybody here knows him, talks to him, and if you don't, then you don't have the capacity to understand. Today, he's still a broken man and trying to figure out how to put the pieces back together. Not so he can drive, but so he can live. I hope none of you have to figure that out.

Case could possibly have become the best ever, with all due respect to Campbell fans, had he not been consumed by his "issues". Never saw a driver pick one up more than Case first time out. He just showed up everywhere and won. Now....he may just be happy to be there.

Don't doubt it. It's shot, or possibly stupidity. Case was in the top 5 more than once (at least twice, and I just can't rememember if it was three times). He was also in the top 10 the next year (and missed time with an injury). Now, if anyone wants to put their money where their loud mouth is, I'll gladly take that action and bet on the twice. Too bad we are not at the track and people puffing up their chest would be more than willing to throw their money around, if they have any. But, we are stuck surfing the internet to check rumors and innuendos, LOL.

Maybe you can hire OJ Simpson to get you some proof. As far as Case is concerned, he could have NEVER been the best ever because he obviously had ZERO discipline in his life. Years of abuse and mistakes make a 60 plus year old an absolute nobody in an absolute C/D track environment thirty years later.

I live in Maine and have known of Casey' for years. For many years, he was one of the top drivers in the USA. One of the best i've ever seen on a 1/2 mile track.  His "time away" for almost a decade ruined one of the most promising careers in our great sport. He is sadly far from what he once was. He's almost 60 now, and just driving here at Cumberland, Bangor, and the Maine fair circuit. No other jurisdiction will license him other than Maine. Casey knows he made some horrible mistakes. He's stilll got a great sense of humor and loves driving the mostly slow horses we all follow here in Maine.
