The only place his horses are winning stakes are the small ones in IL because there is little to no testing. The balance of 3-year-old horses a couple good ones stayed good the rest need more than the gas and go they received last year. The several millions that were spent last year among all the sales have come up pretty much empty. The early preseason of bragging of the 100 head he had down in Fl has turned into many not even making the races and the ones that have run up the deficits in monthly bills. Purses haven't covered the expenses, and the upcoming sales are weeks around the corner. Let the Ponzi scheme roll on it only takes back-to-back year of big losses to see changes.
Rick and I were talking about that yesterday how Erv has to be disappointed in his horses this years. He has won a lot of races but mostly just overnight races. I know if we had owners like that they would expect a lot more then causal wins against non winners type of horses. That doesn’t cut it when you spend 80k for a yearling.
Erv's problem is who he has driving his horses. Trace Tetrick is God awful, just shows you how bad the drivers are there if that stiff is the leading driver. Atlee Bender is really bad as well.
Yes sir I agree. Overhiser has already started to spread out and using many other trainers. Erv’s in over his head.
The Planos are trash. that's your message. Earlier this year this person/woman went on a rant about how the owner of the track kitchen at Hoosier wouldn't extend her credit to eat.
I remember that! Also the long rant about how she's like his second wife. Sounds to me like another jilted groom that worked under, not for a particular trainer.
