There is no doubt of Ward's substance abuse. The who game was the Wild Wild West during this period.  Northfield was well aware of this situation as well as all the horse drugging and race fixing by the drivers. This was the Bob Belcher era. Ward, returned to the winners circle and fell out of the bike, high as a kite.
 My post was nothing more than acknowledging a man who once was having success returning after 19 years. David Ward must be close to 60 years old. I don't see him reviving his career as a driver. But, good luck and stay safe.

That stands for a qualifying and fair license he cannot drive at a pari mutuel track.

  • darnoldrocks: 2 year olds don't need rest ???  I disagree.

  • JT: Well, any 2 year old that is tough, level is really irrelevant

  • darnoldrocks: Between the 11th and 26th.   DAJC racing 4 weeks in a row is tough at this level.

  • JT: I gotcha  tmbz.. he is a nice colt, but that was a fast mile with fast fractions

  • JT: He's raced 5 of the last 6 weeks? What rest are you speaking of?

  • darnoldrocks: I like his 2 week rest between the 11th and 26th.   Races 3 weeks in a row vs DAJC going 4 weeks in a row.
