wally so, so overrated
« on: October 21, 2022, 05:30:14 PM »
John Campbell was asked what the one intangible was separating the hall of fame drivers from the others. His answer: fear. The best drivers were the ones who drove bad horses well. Walter Case Jr. was the best at driving bad horses to victory or new lifetime marks. Better than anyone else.
Conversely, Wally Hennessey never, ever wanted anything to do with any horse, who had any sort of idiosyncrasy. Could he drive good and great horses as well as anyone? Yes. But average or below average horses? No.
Thus, he is so overrated imo...

THEY ALL BET ON HIM EVERY RACE AT POMPANO AND THEN HE ACTUALLY THOUGHT HE WAS A GOOD DRIVER. NOTHING MORE THAN AVERAGE AT BEST.

I've known Dave Palone personally a long time...long before he was married and partied all night and everyone has their opinions of him but what he has accomplished is great nonetheless...tha t being said if and its a big if Case doesn't fuck his life up he's the lifetime leader in wins by a larger margin that what Dave is right now.

Wally H is nothing but an average driver at best. He has to have the best horse to win. Won tons of races at PPK where all of the crooks used to sit back and bet on him. I don’t ever recall seeing Wally win without the best horse in the race. Campbell and Case are no comparison to Wally. I mean that’s like comparing an amateur to a professional. No conversation here people. Wally is and always will be a joke.

What does Dave Palone and Walter Case have to do with Wally ?
Dave and Wally both drove at B, C and D tracks. They both competed daily against very sub par drivers so they racked up the wins. Both very overrated.
