We Have Been Telling Everyone On This Site That AMAC Would Get Parked And Hung Out To Dry. Scorched Timeisonyourside Tonight. AMAC'S Ego And No Driving Ability On Display. Huge Failures For The Stable Tonight. The Big Boys Showed AMAC He Doesn't Belong With The Big Boys. Can't Wait For The You Tube Video And The Exceuses,
-
the 5 was the only horse inside him on the gait.
If he takes back he's racing for 5th at best
Todd cost himself by not releasing and retaking
-
similar to the drive he did in the final of the jug 2 years ago
well i guess he could have used gingras, he was in the grandstand for this race
-
didn’t work out too hot for toddy either
nor did the remove on David Miller in the very next race
-
A Mac should be barred from driving - absolute disaster
-
lets hear it for the 1% owners who can say they had a horse in the Crown the last 2 nights. Problem is that 3 days from now no one cares and by the way what did that cost them for Amac to again prove he needs 1-9 shots off the rail at Nfld.
-
$71.50 - 1 and the idiot leaves…. His owners must be thrilled BUT. if they bought into his BS and they now he can’t drive a cat downstairs.
-
Can someone pls list the drivers who would have been watching that dash from the sidelines. Doesnt make any business sense to not give your horse the best possible shake when you are so fortunate to get one in the BC final.
-
If he takes back he's 7th at the half, and they come home in 54
track was speed biased almost every race
Coach Stefanos was the ONLY horse to come from off the pace in the stakes races
The only chance he had was to leave, it's called racing
haters just like to hate
I'll criticize him if he deserves it, he done nothing wrong here, just the opposite

Yes, congrats to those with that horse! What a thrill!

Lots more Kool-Aid to go around!

Pinehurst have you ever heard of protecting a horse when you are in a bad position. Sometimes you have to realize that your in a bad position and do what's best for the horse and wait till next week. In his video today he realizes he made a mistake. This is what wrong with his Stable concept- its all about him he doesn't give a rats ass about his partners until its time re ante up. You say if he didn't leave he would have finished 7th where did he finish leaving? The cost to the partners out 20,000 dollars in expenses. Where do I sign up for this SHIT SHOW.
-
DID HE ACTUALLY THINK HES WAS GOING TO GET A HOLE ngc3 ngc3 ngc3
-
If you ask AMAC he probably would say it's good publicity to have a horse in the BC finals for prospective new owners. As an owner unless my horse has a legitimate chance to win I don't need the added expense to be in that race. And then to gut the horse so your name is not lost in the pack. No thanks.
-
Open Bridle so very true.
-
the weekend of fantasy didnt cost the stable .ca a dime
family vacation in jersey
owners will see the cost on their next statement
and hey, if they are okay with that than all is fair
-
The ultimate free ride. Take a little from a lot of idiots, They love being part of the game so they don't mind getting fucked. It's a fucking joke, best scam in a long while..
-
I only wish I had thought of it first! What is he doing to make his scam more attractive than VIP or some of the others?

If you go to Anthony MacDonald’s Facebook page under a TimeIsOnMySide main post, you will see other sub post underneath main post discussing the drive of TimeIsOnMySide. It is there all to see. Below copied and paste
Scott Zajac
Macdonald should have known better that a 71-1 shot wasn’t going to get the lead. Fell bad for Time it was a brutal trip!
Anthony MacDonald’s reply to Scott Zajac
Anthony MacDonald
Scott Zajac youre not the only one Scott.
To maybe give some context into what went into my decision to leave:
When we were seconds from the start, it was clear the three favorites were leaving and the 8/9 were looking hard at it as well.
My thoughts were simple at that moment:
If the race lines up 5-1-2 going around the first turn, and im sitting 8th....... would I be giving myself a chance to win, or just hoping for money? This colt has raced good all year and raced well against these types.
Hes not Coach Stephanos and doesnt have a last quarter in 25.1, and I thought my best chance was to come out of there with him.
But when you leave ay 71-1 you know the risk you are taking, and thats on me.
Leaving with him put me in this very spot, and everything you said above is correct.
The toughest part about racing is dealing with the consequences of your actions.
We all want to win the breeders crown, but sometime you get parked trying.
I wasnt going to respond and im not angry at all. You're comments were fair, but I thought id reach out to give some context as what led to that brutal trip.
Have a good Sunday,
Anthony MacDonald

Next Murray Brown post to question Anthony on the drive.
Copied and paste.
Murray Brown says this below
Anthony MacDonald Anthony, I can understand your wanting to take a shot when you've got one in the Breeders Crown. What I fail to understand why if as you said, you knew the 1,2 and 5 were going to leave and there was a chance that the 8 and 9 were quite possibly going to as well, why you felt the need to do the same? Given that scenario, you were almost certainly going to get parked with almost no chance of making the top, which is exactly what happened. Am I missing something?
Anthony MacDoMacDonald’s reply to Murray Brown
Murray Brown those horses are much more likely to get you out of thenway rather than park you. My colt usually has more that 26.4 under the hood and that changed the narrative quute a bit going into the first turn.
Play the race out with me not leaving.
I get aeay eight, with moderate fractions and likely 4th over.
I may very likely have been 7th regardless?
If I get away on the lead and get shuffled to fourth im likely 4th at worst, but in a spot to do more if he at 105%.
I didnt come just to say I was there, anymore than I came to get parked. I came to win, and in that respect regardless of the outcome it was a race.
Respectfully,
Anthony

Murray Brown responding back to Anthony.
Respectfully as well Anthony, I have always been a whole lot better at driving then from the grandstand, than you professionals out there doing the work. Was there not a third option - float out there and see what that gets you? You might catch a hole, or you might latch on to some live cover and get a trip. I know you came to win, but there comes a time when realism plays or should play a role. JMO.
Anthony’s response to Murray Brown
Theres always a plan, and another, but more times than not the race is decided pretty early.
Mike Tyson said everyone has a plan until they get punched in the mouth. 🤷♂️
Bill ODonnell told me one time there are three holes in every race, the front, the back, and the ***hole looking for a spot.
Theres no spots for the ***hole at 71-1. lol
Going into the first turn I felt like the guy on the titanic who spotted the iceburg.......
Its too late at that point.
It’s upsetting, but racing.

And that folks is also another reason I got out from TheStable.CA. besides paying “miscellaneous fees” some never told what those “miscellaneous fees” were. When I got in in 2016, none of that was happening. Anthony was very apologetic if he drove a bad drive on his videos. After a while training fees went up, I rarely seen any money gained, seemed like every dime was put back on training. Even Lawmaker, who was making money, I rarely seen a dime (positive) on the bill from monies made. Got to the point he would throw his hands up in the air and say “that is horse racing” when he threw a bad drive in. Don’t get me started on what he paid his employees at $350 Canadian each week. One groom told me what they made when I was there on an open house. Basically confiding in me that their caretakers weren’t making much. That $350 Canadian was in 2016. I have no clue now at 2024 what the grooms make now. All I know is when that groom told me that I was shocked. We never did get to how much a paddock they made. The groom discussed this to me when I handed her a tip for taking care of one of the horses I owned.

He's an absolute horror show. US Customs should deny him entrance to the United States,to protect the betting public.

I am not a fan or defender of AMAC. His strategy going into the race should have been to try and get a check, not try to win when your horse was way overmatched. He felt the best way was to leave and get a hole, had it been the eliminations for $25,000 I'm sure Todd would have given him the lead, then regained, but for $600,000 he can't risk giving him the lead and having Dunn come right out with Mirage Hanover and regain from AMAC and wind up first over. Part of being a driver is to handicap the race, know your competition, and understand your realistic chances to win the race. Just because your horse made it into the finals of the Breeders Crown, it doesn't mean he has a legitimate chance of winning, if he thought he did, he's delusional.
-
Gh your post is spot on. Bottom line AMAC Is An Egomaniac Failed Trainer And Driver. I Had 3 Horses with the stable and got out when I saw the billing abuse, his driving and mismanagement of the horses. He needs to be shut down.
-
Something very shady going on, when they frown upon paying any money out they have already received (purses or sold shares), something is awry.
Example:
f I sold a share for $800 & bought another for $400- I should be able to get the other $400 cashed out in a timely manner.
They absolutely hate that. Maybe it's for more Starbucks for Burps, I wouldn't eat/drink that shit if it was free.
-
shit happens.
Scott Zeron got parked the whole mile in the very next breeders crown race from post 4 and he was driver of the year last year
-
You Don't Have To Worry About AMAC Becoming Driver Of The Year. Being Parked Always A Concern.
-
shit happens.

Comparing Zeron jr with Burps MacDonald?
Burps MacDonald was 0/3 & shouldn't have even been in NJ that night while Zeron is a top3 driver in big races.
Brings the whole family, who cares?
It's all swept under the "misc. rug" on the bills.
Did the horses really need him & the whole family there on the owners dime to not make a cent?

AMAC is one of the most successful businessmen in the whole industry. He's built a money making venturefrom the ground up which supports his family and his trainers very well. Is he a grand circuit driver? ABSOLUTELY NOT but his fractional ownership if good for harness racing . Both he and his wife are attractive and likable people. I can't speak to the level of shadyness but I know I'd not be one to ever invest , however it gives a lot of people an opportunity for ownership they'd never see. If he'd step into a managerial role primarily and only drive the maidens and occasional ohio fair race his whole operation would become more desirable to many.

I made $350 cdn rubbing 4 back in 1995.

I have to ask: Rubbing four 'what'? ;D
-
I made $350 cdn rubbing 4 back in 1995.
I’d pay you that to rub on one.

I think that AMAC had only one chance to get a good check and that was to leave. It took balls but he really had no choice. Go to the back and become a spectator or shoot out of there and hope that the person who had the lead would give and go. I like Anthony's drive more every time i see him drive. he takes a lot of chances but gets the most out of his horses.
-
umm, you've been watching his videos now haven't you ??
-
At least some sane people are questioning his drives. For him it's all about being there, part of the show. Needs to have multiple homes, fly to race his top horses, private the only way to go. Hey everybody is happy, we get cash they get emails, pictures, open houses and videos, and a BILL for his driving services. They could have had one of the top drivers and it wouldn't cost them a cent. But they got AM to the SHOW. How many shares does he own?

You forgot to include the $5-6K a month he gets from his youtube views
Keep watching those videos plopsters!

I doubt it but keep the AMAC BS coming. According to you tube:
On average, creators can earn around $0.002–$0.012 per view, or $2–$12 per 1,000 views. For 1 million views, creators can expect to earn between $3,000 and $5,000.

He's a slickster, squeeze every penny out. While every body watches. PT Barnum of harness racing.oles here.asshThe pride of Canada, please keep him up there, we have enough

He just drove 2 winners and actually drove them very well.

Make that 3-3

credit where credit is due
always best to stay in your lane

The mistake he made was getting in the bike. His owners deserved better.

He drives like he's driven a lot of cheap horses..which he has. He can keep a horse trotting better than several of the "better" guys, in my opinion, but taking care of the horse in the race is not in his wheelspace.
On the flip side, haven't seen anyone come on here and accuse him of a stiff-job.

i agree with that last comment
