Drivers like Herve, Case, Hennessey and Pierce did "make" horses do things. All of them dwarf a McClure and a horse like her would benefit from those hands. I had a whack job lightning bolt NZ pacer. John Patterson politely asked not to drive him again, Donald Dancer grumbled as he walked away, Carmine got angry that the horse wore a shit towel and said NEVER PUT ME DOWN ON THAT RAG..... Herve? 2 fingers, servicable 27k claimer with a big turn of speed. never an issue with him.
