Half Mile Track Question

[theokodjak26]

When a trainer has a closer, without much early speed, and gets post 7 or 8, do most trainers tell a catch driver to just train the horse or do most drivers just know to stay back?

I never gave any driver any instructions in any situation ever. I just let things play out naturally. I have had drivers ( Herve and Gary Mosher ) most notably tell me exactly where we gonna finish and that's exactly where we finished. Herve was allowed this luxury, Gary Mosher having been in NY about a month was not! Gary tried that shit from what i am told with Perry Steinkohl and his brother Ira tried to run Gary over with a VW Bug. Went tearing right down a shedrow at RR, from what I heard

Perry was a tough little SOB, excellent with a lame horse and good people. I miss him. They say, Ira who I barely knew was just plain crazy! they say Perry was the first trainer at YR/RR to win over 200 races in a calendar year ( like 229) Then Larry Summer and Joe Guarino broke that record. Maybe others have too, I dunno.

Drivers read the program too.  They know what they have.  I saw an old video last week where Herve said the first thing he did was to read the program.

I wouldn’t use a driver that I thought needed instructions. Put them on the gate and make a plan when they say go. I had a driver years ago. Won 4 in a row then had 8 hole on 1/2 mile track. He was 2 lengths off the gate then strangled him to get away last in 29 second quarter. When the entry for the next week came out he called and asked why he wasn’t driving. I said I don’t need to stay up till 2am to train one. Never used him again
