Driver change at Cumby
« on: Today at 09:13:09 AM »
Minutes before the scheduled start of Race 8 on Saturday Benson Merrill driving #7 Commondiscourtesy (a horse he also trained) was summoned off the track to the paddock.  Moments later, the horse returned with Walter Case in the bike.  Note: Merrill was also the trainer of record for #3 Art Scene.  Anyone know why the driver change And why so close to post time?

Assuming the owner of #3 is his wife? Most places have a rule you cannot drive against your spouse's horse the same as you can't drive against one you own yourself regardless if you are the trainer of both.

  • Albatross77: I saw Bukowski puking by the toilet. I asked about his gibberish posts. Buk slurred something about Zack shitting in his litter box and eating his sardines. And then he passed out again.I guess that was the whole kerfuffle.
