Has anyone ever been listed on this many high purse races all in one day?
Anyone want to guess what his win total will be?
I guess 9 wins.
How about purse total?
I guess $400,000

That's a big line up. I would suspect the old "Million Dollar Babies" card at the Meadowlands, a Breeders Crown card, a major stakes/championship day, or something of the like. I remember Million Dollar Babies night at the Meadowlands-----John Campbell and Billy O'Donnell would have drives in every single race. Eventually Jackie Mo, same thing. Same when Mike Lachance finally moved his tack to the Meadowlands.

I often wondered how different it would be if these drivers had agents like the jockeys do in t-breds.

In my opinion the top drivers are better off without an agent who on average get 25% of the jockey's purses.

That's a huge card too. So was the old NYSS Championship Night. The WEG big stakes nights are major cards.

I can recall a year or two ago "Ohio super  night" at Scioto had about 3 million in purses. All the sire stakes finals, the Ewert Memorial for older pacers and the Charlie Hill for older trotters at 250,000 each. Dexter will be laughing his way to the bank.

Dunn is listed on 21 races on one day with 17 of them for $65,000 or more.
My point is the number of high purse drives for one driver /one day.

Excellent point.. in that case the only thing I can think of is on LBJ day they usually have between 20 to 23 races and all of them are decent purses... meaning tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars and Miller would be in just about every race. Ohio connection and all. Not only would he have drives on the jug, old oaken bucket, ms versatility etc.. he would have them in the Ohio breeders championship races as well.

I'm guessing 500+.  I think he is going to win 3 of the 4 big ones at Dayton.

2 at a bare minimum should be layups with jiggy jog and twin b joe fresh, He will probably be favored or 2nd choice with Logan Park and Abuckabett. He could easily go 4 for 4.

I agree.  Would like to see him sweep the big ones despite not being an Andrew Harris fan.

To me its a pleasure to watch DEX  DUNN AND CHRIS RYDER do an interview as both  seem humble and make me feel like the game has class,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, Dextor Dunn is the steph curry of the standarbred game as he always puts a good show on and he to me is the money man in this game,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, The game needs to promote him as i believe he will be a fan favorite for a long time to come,,,,,,,,,,,I would never have believed that possibly in both breeds od TB AND harness that AUSTRALIA AND NEW ZEALAND would have the best driver and rider as i believe that JAMES MCDONALD is also the best jockey in the world or real close to it,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Amazing. That horse really looked overmatched on paper.
The inside part of the track maybe should be avoided due to conditions

By my count 3 firsts,and 4 seconds at Lexington .. now off to Dayton. That track in Lexington would not have been fun to drive on. They did the best they could but they have had tons of rain. It looked miserable there.

2 down 2 to go for Dexter.

I guess maybe it is just me. But watching Mohawk doing their Grassroots finals with interviews, versus Dayton doing almost $1.6M in stakes with zero interviews or commentary. Plus no easy way to access past performances for Dayton. To quote the coach from Letterkenny: Fucking Embarrassing.

Couldn't agree more. Yeah. it's probably pretty easy with the best horse in a lot of races, but watching some of the ham-fisted leading drivers out there versus Dex, there's a clear reason he's in the position to drive a lot of the best.

3 down 1 to go but way to soon to say that about GOAT. He has a long career ahead of him. Definitely the best driver in the world right now and it's not even close. It helps when you have horses like jiggy jog and twin b joe fresh

When Meadow started this thread he guessed 9 wins.. he had 3 in Lexington and 5 so far in Dayton. Pretty dam good guess. He had 4 seconds in Lexington as well.

Dunny won all 4 $250,000 races, $1 million in purses, just like winning a $1 million race. He earned $25,000 for himself just on those 4 races! Don't forget the reason he left down under though and look where that took him here in the USA.

Thanks for the compliment and I do love the game.. and I hate to see it declining for many reasons that people mentioned on the other thread. And yes I wager on most days at multiple tracks including thoroughbreds. I don't know if I need more "respect" or a pat on the back... I just wish some changes were made like mentioned on the other thread. I didn't make much $ last night.. And alot of those races I skipped betting because there was no money to be made.. I just enjoy watching the best horses compete.. especially the older ones. Sorry you had a bad night. Been there done that.
