Along the same lines it is kind of interesting to me how the major accounts get shuffled. Who becomes Melander’s #1 with Sears gone and who fills in for Burke with Miller heading back to Ohio. Yannick seems to also be Nancy’s primary call which may cause Burke to start to look elsewhere. Does Tetrick fill in that gap?Zeron is an interesting case here. He will go over $8-9mm this year with half the drives of most the other top money guys. He is usually the 2-4th selection for most of the top barns and his number one account has not had a good year. I don’t think he drives aggressive enough for Burke, Nancy, etc but always surprised he doesn’t get more of the top horses considering his success
Dexter Dunn has been driving the majority of Melander's better horses, Zeron is driving some of them too. David Miller won't be moving to Ohio to 2026. My guess is Todd McCarthy will pick-up alot of Miller's drives after he leaves.
MILLER OR ZERON DONT ABUSE HORSES. THEY UNDERSTAND THE GAME AND DONT JUST BALL BAT TO BALL BAT
Back in the old days, drivers like Vernon Crank used to beat the crap out of his horses with the whip, but the rules have changed which limit drivers from overusing the whip. In my opinion the whip is overrated, and drivers get as much out of a horse by shaking the reins at it.
