Wow I have know him and his wife for years, great people what is wrong with you?
Solid guy and a great family man !! Petrelli you are just jealous of anyone successful because you are a worthless MUTT who has never amounted to anything and never will Cutting grass at Gina's farm is all your worth
You are jealous of all successful people because you will NEVER be a success Bartlett's are good people you rat. You are not worthy of knowing the identities on anyone on here
OK, folks, let's get real here for a minute. Jason Bartlett is one of the premier drivers in the sport. Off the top of my head, he's won over 10,000 races. How many have done that, 20 or so? He's been selected to compete in the World Drivers Championship, what, twice? Three times? He's won what, 10 or 12 driving titles? Last year he what, 500 wins at YR? Did he break the top 10 at the Meadowlands? If not, he was pretty close. This year he was driving at the Meadowlands on Saturday nights and at one point was leading the standings. Does he have the "aggressive" label? Sure, but he owns it. It doesn't hurt him per se, and those who know what they are looking at knows he's got a good set of hands. He learned a lot when Sears and Brennan moved their tack to YR. He stayed, he leaned, and......And he's still here!I've watched him for a long time, and sure things were different for him when he was coming up. Sometimes when you are young and up and coming, you struggle with some things, the road can be a bit rough, and sometimes people hook up with some shady people. It happens, but look at where Jason is today. While I've watched him for a long time, I was still very impressed with how he did here in January. He was a driver or fire! So, look at Jason. Look at his stature in the business. Look at his standing in the business. Who do you think he's going to associate with today? He's a family man, grounded, responsible and he's a professional. He conducts himself and handles his business, and puts himself out there as a professional. So again, who do you think he's going to associate with today? Look at where he is in his life and in his business.
He's a decent driver, but all his success out east at Yonkers is because he was top call for the main drug trainer that year. He wouldn't have won any of those driving titles without them.
Type away, it isn't going to work. Notice who posts as himself and who doesn't. Only facts come from me. Ask Jason what started all this when the story of Mark Fords door locks being changed was aired. Ask who it was that was giving his wife shit about it. At least know the real story, I know that's difficult for you chicken shits. I've certainly proven that.
That year? 10,000 wins? And his success at the Meadowlands earlier this year? That's what you see, a "decent" driver?
He is a difference making driver at yonkers and has been for a long time. Anyone who believes his long time success there is strictly due to horsepower isn't paying any attention. IMO
How many trainers put him up in major stakes? How many owners want him in major stakes? That's the barometer for that. I've told him many times he's probably the best half mile track driver on the planet. But he also gets very pissy when he doesn't get his way on the racetrack. Ask anyone in the locker room at Yonkers. For whatever reason, he let's big races get in his head and drives the races 100 times before the gate folds. He has all the numbers to be in the HOF, we all know they want the trophies too. He chose a different path to success. Partnered with Banca not only as his contract driver, but also owned horses together. Yeah I told him back then he was STUPID getting in bed with him. I listened to all the crying about when Banca would take him off because he would choose off every so often and Richie would go ballistic. I told Jason you still gotta drive them right, he'll be back. And again, none of this is bullshit. He was bad at PR and dealing with trainers to lock in a connection to the stakes babies. He threw himself when Burke replaced him with Yannick. The right thing to do is say thank you, I'm here if you ever need me. Schmoozing is one thing and an art. Selling out to criminals is another.
