Post by: hammer0419 on December 01, 2024, 12:10:11 AM
How was Ake allowed to stay up in the 9th race? Man is dangerous out there,also who was the women on with Dave Little? She has an incredibly annoying voice.

The woman was Ake's wife Sarah, who is 20 years younger than him, and does alot of his post-race interviews, because she understands and speaks English alot better than him.

I thought he would be taken down. He should have been taken down but what he did only slowed his horse down not any other.

The initial culprit was Luna Lovegood who drifted out badly into the path of Voguish causing her to drift over into Ake's horse who was drifting in. Their wheels briefly got caught up.

Ake’s wheel was blocked behind Voguish, slowing what a bud hanovers own progress, he would have won by half a length if he didn’t impede himself. Judges made the right call.

Yea but you can see the 4 have to check itself losing its forward momentum. Ake came down into him and caused it regardless of whether he would have won or not he halted the 4 forward momentum and in a nose decision he had to come down.

Blatant cheating by judges.

GH2009 I meant the women who was working with Dave Little all night. I know Sarah and that wasn't her voice.

How can you be a harness fan and not know who Jess Otten is nowadays?  Aside from the dozen threads the degens here start about her she has done the color on every big race at mostly every track, not just Meadowlands, all summer and fall.

Ake's driving leaves much to be desired. He is most likely the top trot trainer in the USA. The horses are not over raced & Ake has them ready in big spots.

I thought the judges call was right but the man is a horror show in the bike !! Great conditioner though and seems to have a wonderful wife. Behind every great harness trainer is a great woman.

At 2/5 in the 2nd Hambo Elimination for 2018 with Six Pack.  One of the all-time botched drives from beginning to end.  Only needed to finish in the top 5 to go on.

He starts every year with over 100 horses (almost all trotters). He is a great trainer and has them ready, even with layoffs, but the horses end up suffering for it. So many of his horses have fewer starts than most, and then they disappear.  Very very few do well with one that he sells in a sale. I'll assume they end up back in Sweden, and the few that have become sires have not proven much.
