There are no drivers I hate but there are driving “styles” I hate. Joey B’s jumping around so much is the #1 thing I hate. If it is effective in scaring the horse the first time he does this I’m sure that wears off in a hurry. AND…. It is a rule violation. The next is laying back in the bike. Nothing more than showboating….
I am willing to bet all the "hated" talk comes from rumors, second and third hand, and the outsiders who play insider on the internet.
Yannick Gingras. I do think he can drive BUT nowhere like he gets noticed for. I would estimate 80% of his wins are Burkes and on the front. The same race over and over. I love it when he gets run down. I always try to beat him if I can. If he doesn’t win the Hambo this year he never will. He has been nothing but a black cat in the Hambo. He’s always over bet. The one picture that was posted that had three drivers. John Campbell , Tim Tetrick and Gingras and someone put on the header 3 world class driver made me sick. I didn’t think Gingras belonged in that group. Every race he’s in I promise you 80% of the time he has the lead on the backside. He can’t stand not pulling.
By far and away the most over rated driver in history. The bulk of the money is overnights and Burke horses down in class. This guy isn't a driver he's a gunner. He could be replaced with 5 other guys and you would get same result or better. Zero talent to think as a driver. Only knows one thing - GO Unless your horses is 3 seconds the best you aren't winning the Hambo unless you have brains and skill. John Campbell didn't have 7 favorites. Scott Zeron has won it 3 times and no favorites. Yannick has had 5-6 favorites and doesn't get a sniff. Now that's zero talent. Also, look at his % going for 1 Mil - .078 - You honestly want this guy driving your horse for a Million? . He's like 1-50 in Million dollar races and the year he did win was against no other top drivers. It was COVID!
