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.

  • Ignorance Is Bliss: Right. Broke down start before we bought him. Trailered off the track. Was left in the back of a barn at a farm in New Paltz. I did what I do win his first start with me in the basement. Two starts later beat the 10s. Eric Warner needs him to fill the Open, my owner was already building his paddock to retire him. Which we did and he's been there since. Piss you off because you never owned one?
