Title: What has happened to Timmy T?
Post by: MOHAWK FREAK on August 03, 2024, 09:59:22 PM
   I believe this could be worse year? Or is he winning races I don’t know about.

simply getting passed by....Dunn is by far the best in the biz and Tetrick seems to be fading like Bill O Donnell

Timmy is still as talented as anyone.  Seems to be unmotivated right now.

He's burnt all his bridges and now that he doesn't own 100 horses he can drive when Josh M fuels them up he can't win like he used too.  Look at Jim K. he can't win a fixed race now that Josh is gone.  Timmy's main gas source Tony M is in hiding so Timmy is laying low.

Some think Timmy is laying low with a possible 2nd wave coming.  Even though that chatter has almost disappeared!

It is definitely a down year for Tetrick. I remember seeing him earlier in the year. He was heavy & out of shape. Horse power helps & I think Timmy will get some next year.

It's nothing more than what's happened to other drivers in their careers-----new, younger drivers have arrived, they started hustling for business (certainly more than TT had been), lose a drive, a horse, here and there, and next thing you know you are no longer first or top contender call for certain barns, then you don't have a big horse or two, and so on, and your business/numbers just aren't there. Your business deteriorates, you lose clients, support, etc. They interviewed Bill Fahy years ago and they asked him about when he arrived, and then left, the Meadowlands.

Timmy's fine its the big money horses he drives this season are just average at best, he can't have a career year every year, he had the HOY last year, and those don't come around too often.. those Down Under boys have really shook things up on the Grand Circuit
