AMac

[Southpaw]

Regardless how anyone feels about him, his concept is working. New owners are in the game. Trainers whose careers were over have been resurrected. It’s easy to find negatives such as his driving style but at the end of the day, his clients are getting what they signed up for.  Entertainment.

Captain Incredible had a little knee boot problem X2, The Left knee boot came down leaving the gate, and the other one during the race. AMAC was not a happy camper at the time. Scotty was driving him cautiously due to this. So, maybe next time.

Just more excuses, oh am I surprised no!. Keep paying those phony bills on your pony. Remember this is all amusement and AMAC is so amused how easy it is to fleece people.

Correct me if I am wrong, but many of these expensive horses are mostly owned by one person in Ohio. If he was unhappy with AMAC, do you think he would still be with him?

I don't own anything and never have with them. I have never met AMAC but I follow his operation. People know what they have to pay to be a part of fractional ownership. He has over 900 owners so some of them are not going to agree with him.  He does his best as far as putting the horses in where they can compete.

Heavy favorite scratched yesterday just before going to the gate. At the time it was called a “Vet Scratch”.. charted as lame ..  t
Took someone 8 minutes to decide a horse is lame ??  Maybe something else ??

If you are talking about Pick Pocket the track vet seen him in post parade and she thought he looked lame but I believe that's is the way he always warms up

this whole thing is a huge scam - when will it all come to an end?

if/when the owners decide that they are being 'scammed'!

must be nice to overpay for horses so you can drive in all the top races and get your name called.  had these owners not put up there money he couldn't get listed in a 5 claimer let alone top stakes.  When you run a business managing horses you manage and you don't drive for your own benefit.  Is he giving back the 5% for driving?

Many people 'overpay' for the horses they buy!  It is part of the business!  Who would be driving these horses at their respective venues?  Top drivers have their own "pecking order" on who they drive for.  If the top drivers won't drive there horses, who will?  Will there be better drivers available or drivers worse than Amac?

I don't know if it's jealousy or what, but he's delivering exactly what he promised...an experience. Exposure to the sport and business, a taste of what it's like, visit the farm, feed carrots to your horse, whatever. He didn't pitch this as an investment, a money making opportunity, etc. For whatever reason, a lot people choose to throw stones and criticize...his driving, training, acquisitions, and so forth... I guess if you can do a better job, go ahead and do it. If not and your thing is to throw stones, keep doing it. Other trainers are doing different things, some legit, some not. Bad apples in every industry. AMac IMO is not one of them,

100 percent THIS

I've seen a lot of discussion on this topic the last few months and my thoughts are nobody is twisting the owners arms to be involved in this venture. If I was a partial owner with the group I would look at it as pure entertainment... not a way to make money.. just like a trip to the casino. Do you hope to win? Yes absolutely. Do you know that you probably won't. Yes absolutely. It's for entertainment and just for the recognition of being a horse owner. Let's be real AMac isn't a great driver.. I'm sure the owners know he's not Dexter Dunn or David Miller. I've never met the guy but I don't think he's trying to pull the wool over anyone's eyes..and you would hope most people involved know what they are getting into.. and if they don't then that's their fault.
