A A RON DEFENSE FUND

[JENNY FROM THE BLOCK]

It's really nice northfield park and The meadows are allowing him to race until he gets locked up. Maybe someone can even start a go fund me to help him off set his defense costs. I wonder if that police man who arrested him yet has googled him.
Itvshould be a privelage to drive race horses. not a right.

[Harness racer]

It’s a joke.  Get a sense of humor.  Northfield and The Meadows should be embarrassed.  Both trash operations for allowing this.  They want the face of their track to be that guy?  Congrats to these two piece of shit operations!

[Stan durbread]

Whatever he does outside of the track he is still the best driver at both those places. Not defending his actions but when was the last time you heard of a sports star, actor or politician get fired for a DUI?

[Harness racer]

It’s not just the dui.  Listen to the tape.  You want your organization associated with that?  A major consulting firm fired a guy just for the way he acted drunk at a football game. This is 10× worse! 

[JENNY FROM THE BLOCK]

The go fund me was a joke.  These 2 race tracks should be ashamed of themselves.  Maybe the local news stations should report on it.  He wants to be famous. Make him famous. Or infamous I should say.
I'm not sure they will lower the charge on the dui. But I'm willing to bet the menacing charge gets reduced to something like disorderly conduct or some misdemeanor. So he will skate somehow.
usta,northfield and the meadows should be so ashamed they let him race.  The only reason they do is its a dying sport and  ot many people even know who he is.
Make him famous on the news.  The tracks will have to pull him. It's not hurting their image now cause no one watches and no one knows who he is or what he does. When he is at the cavs game people aren't like oh look there's aaron merriman I need his pic and autograph.

Should have been immediately suspended until he is cleared or jailed
tracks have the ability to do that and should have acted
pro athletes get suspended pending the results of an investigation all the time

[Bitter Truth]

9 month jail time, $8000 fine, 5 year  driving suspension is my guess.
That's 'JUST ' for DUI.

He's NOT the best driver at the Meadows and has never finished higher than 3rd in the driver standings. He was 100 wins behind both Palone and Ronnie Wrenn last year.

[JENNY FROM THE BLOCK]

I agree he is the best driver at the meadows. And when ronnie is at Northfield he isnt the best driver there.

[JENNY FROM THE BLOCK]

Isn't the best driver. At meadows. Sorry for the typo

[PIGLAND]

no talen at all ,cant rate a horse just a carver

while i agree he isnt better than ronnie wrenn or palone he does have talent.. now
as a human hes got some pretty bad demons but he def is a good driver but does overdrive
more than he should

[Arrive7100]

Other than the top few, the driving colony at Meadows is mediocre at best. Even Palone, who's now 62 years old isn't the same driver he once was but has still been leading driver for well over 30 years in a row.

I am sure people here will hear plenty of "word on the street" things. One member here probably is his life coach, therapist, agent, and responsible for his career, until he started drinking, LOL. Another member probably spoke with Aaron and is recommending Brian Joslyn get on the job ASAP, LOL. And who knows what else.

Look, I don't know, nor care, how much he makes, saves, has, whether he gambles his money away, or whatever. It's meaningless. Simply more BS from outsiders wanting to be insiders. He's an independent contractor. The tracks will do what they are going to do. That in and of itself will be telling and will speak to the tracks not Aaron. As it relates to Aaron, I don't care if F. Lee Bailey is resurrected and defends him. I just hope this is rock bottom, he makes a decision to get the help he needs, and he gets clean and sober.

[dougie]

I listened to the tape. Just another drunk running his mouth. They'll play it in front of the Judge, who'll throw the book at him. He needs some help for his drinking problem.
