Title: Yannick ruins another 2yr old for Luthor
Post by: Chips N Salsa on July 14, 2024, 07:29:04 PM
Just destroyed Skywalker Sea.  Got her all cranked up and then strangled her to half and come a huge 31 last qtr.  She's torched.  Way to teach them Yannick.  Does he care? Nope - he will just go get another one to burn up.

Oh BTW he scorched Bath Bomb today too - half in 53-

Funny both winners in those races were his buddy Burke’s horses.  Guy is hard on a young one.  And an arrogant asshole!   tmbz1

   The Freak does not like Yannick.  He is mostly one dimensional. To the front. That’s his game plan EVERY RACE.

I don't know why these guys keep using him on young horses?  You have to teach them and develop them.  He just destroyed probably a nice filly.  It will take the rest of the summer to fix his screw up if at all.  A lot of times it just ruins them mentally when you do something like that.

You are one of my favorite posters here.  However I wouldn't be sure Skywalker Sea is ruined because of today's race.

I only say possible because one she is a filly and two it's very early in her career.  If it was Breeders Crown and she had 8-9 starts under her belt I would have different opinion.  This early in career it will really screw with there heads and especially a filly.  Luthor doesn't train hard from what I hear so she's never seen that type of stress.  Time will tell but you can bet she will be an auto toss her next start unless she's in nw2 where she should be.

Hidalgo appeared to be second best. Yannick started pushing & the horse made a break. Gringras looked like an amateur.

  Gingras is one of God's Chosen People and is therefore entitled to the front end.  He screws up more races and young horses than Planter has peanuts.  Thanks for your post. You are rights on all counts. He will most likely be appearing at Porta Potty near you soon. Just walk in and look down.    With regards to your mention of Burke, he has Tayl ....... or on speed dial, another of God's Cho...........ple .   tmbz1 tmbz1 tmbz1

valid comments, drives them all like they are aged open pacers
would not use him on a 2 yr old ... ever!!
there is money available later in the season but that concept seems lost on many of these guys especailly with 2 yr olds

Do you have 2yos with more talent than the ones he drives for Burke and Takter? If not, not sure he would even consider driving your 2yos anyway

Did he drive them all like aged horses last night? How about torrisi? Was that one "torched"? I assume that strategy was what you are exactly looking for - while totally screwing unsuspecting gamblers and touts like Dave little

i agree with you , he drove that 2 yr old filly very well
i assume most gamblers know not to bet any significant $$ on 2 yr old trotting fillys making thier second lifetime start
really who cares what dave little has picked, his string on odds on favorites

Especially when they won leg 1 of the NJSS and have a spot locked up in the final. Point Being, YG does not drive the way you described in all 2yo races. He is mostly listed in the ones Burke and takter want raced on the front.

PS. Did he just drive Captain Optimistic to your liking?

sure, no problem, use him on your two year olds
i will stick with mcarthy brothers or scott zeron
however if i have a 3 yr old or older in a big race , no problem giving yannick a call, very good driver

 I think this year James MacDonald has been establishing himself as the best driver in the sport. Not hard on a horse, shows up in the big races, not at all one dimensional, works out trips.....a real talent.

Better not make the race a mil or more.  He's 1 for 50 and the one he did win was against no other A driver!

 James MacDonald is the best driver, if you want wins & to keep your horse going thru the year without getting lame.

 I've known James for 25 years & he is the best guy you can have on your horse in Canada, bar none. Now he's international.

Got interfered with and spotted them a bunch of lengths.  That being said she still didn’t look sharp.  But I’d give one more start before passing judgment.  But I agree that Yannick gutted her in that start.
Title: Re: Yannick ruins another 2yr old for Luthor
Post by: Chips N Salsa on July 23, 2024, 12:40:05 AM
Yannick ripped the heart out of her and she was exhausted that race.  John Campbell always said you never want a filly to feel exhausted to early or you will ruin them.  They don't bounce back from something like that.  I wouldn't let him drive another horse for me if he did that to mine.
