he is far from broke. he owns horses with various people. he owns racing pigeons. so what if he likes the casino. lots of people do. i gurantee you if one of his friends needed money he would be right there to give them whatever they needed. as far as having no hands thats laughable. i am willing to bet if he went east he would do just fine. once he started his PR game he would get good stock to drive. to be honest the driving colony out there isnt like it use to be. their aint much out there. maybe 3 or 4 guys. and purple jesus is leaving. maybe he should go east when purple leaves.i think you al;l would be suprised how well he would do. oh and when he goes out there better lock yo girls up.
I bet meadows regularly and to a lesser extent Northfield. I will say this, Aaron tries every race and if that means leaving, so be it. BTW, he is more about being in position to win at the meadows and is great at securing the pocket at the meadows.I imagine the haters do not watch or bet regularly. How and why will he race out east when he does doubleheaders almost daily.Keep winning for me buddy.
Maybe you can explain his drive on #8 in the 2nd at northfield last night?
He left against 2 horses that were better. Tuck third and tired. Not sure what the issue is.
He bounces checks according to usta.
16,000 wins and $100m in earnings. Nobody is dumb enough to think he got that by driving for so and so, driving favorites all the time, etc. Cause and effect. He gets what he gets because of what he's accomplished. He's been doing it for 25 years. It's been what now---10 years he's been the leading driver in wins? How many drivers have won 1000 races in a year? Three? Four? And how many have done it more than once? Only him I think. What about purse money won---I think he's been in the top 10 for almost 10 years now as well.Regardless, it's foolish to pick a drive and say, look at the bonehead move. Look at the mistake. It's very easy to drive a horse from the grandstand, and even easier from behind the keyboard. You want to talk about how good or bad a driver is, look at the entire body of experience. Over the course of a meet, a year, time. How many mistakes can he be making when he's winning at over a 20% clip? 20%! He'll succeed here, fail there, and so on. It's all conjecture. Nothing more than supposition. Look at him in all the categories that one would rate a driver. I rarely, very rarely see people talk about drivers and their sense of pace, the clock in their head, etc. I rarely see people talk about what drivers can go out and train a horse in X and be within 1/5 of a second, maybe 2/5 if the weather or track is off. I rarely see people talk about drivers hands, their finesse, their ability to keep a horse on the bit, forward, in the bridle, but relaxed, settled, etc. Look at him and see in what categories he's got strengths and weaknesses. Look at the various categories and skills that experts look at when they talk about a great driver. I think the reason most people here don't look at them...is because they don't know them. I see a select few. But not many.
