Erv is having a poor summer because instead of using Trace to drive most of his 2-year-olds, he's using his inexperienced son in law Atlee to drive these horses. This is pretty unfair to his owners. While Atlee is getting the experience that he desperately needs, it's costing Erv's owners many wins and significant money. i'm sure Erv is aware of it but putting money into Atlee's pocket is more important than worrying about his owners.
