3 time driver of the year, what a joke

he's half in/half out for 100 yards causes a logjam and wreck behind him in the first race last night

no wonder American drivers always win Grand Circuit races if he's the best Canada has to offer

completely absurd observation

he didn't cause the logjam

he does go half in/half out a lot--thats how Brian Sears did it 20 years ago every race-every night

Agree with Parked. Cullen started it with the slow second quarter.

the only horses that got log jammed were the ones behind James

he has 4-5 (not watching repay again) horses behind him who see him start to pull

if he gets out in the 2 path the confusion and wreck never happen

this is ONE of the reasons why they fine drivers for being half in half out

this is 100% James fault

respect and encourage others to voice their opinion, I just disagree with some

I call B,S, You can't hold him responsible for horses three or four horses behind him. Like he's the 1st driver to go 1/2 on 1/2 out.
I think not. Had it been the horse directly behind him or 'AT LEAST' the next ..maybe One of those things. those 26.2 qtrs gets em fired up
and rollin, then all of a sudden..Like the passing on a highway and the lead guy sees a cop. They stack up 11.wp

I'm still scouring the replay for the half in/half out assertion.  The horse's nose was on Borth's helmet until he got jammed up by the slowing pace and got runny.  At that point James begins to slide out.  But before that, he was in line with everyone else.

  • dougie: I know very little about him. But since I admire his goals, I admire the man. There'a alot of hate out there. But it's the horses that all should focus on. My friend Trigger tells me i'm naive about things. I am not. But I do believe that what he does overrides the petty nasty personal attacks we see so frequently.
