Walter Case Jr. at Plainridge

[mtnskipper]

Correct!  And he is another option that trainers/owner have compared to who else is available to drive.  I'd like to have this option, if I can't get a top driver(s) to sit behind my horse.

1-win yesterday and his 5% was about $ 250!

The only FACT in your long winded entry is that Case was a drug addict. Everything else is your opinion which I have found to be worthless.

Talking about “worthless”?

Again, take a long good look at yourself!!   

And people have done worse in their lives!

Some have paid the price for their actions and some have not!

Again, your point is???

Do you people even listen to the stupidity? The guy scared Greg Merton away? 🤣 come the fuck on. How delusional are you people? Case is a has been.   He lost his prime time due to drugs and a attempted murder charge.  The guy has yet to win a race in Maine this year wake the fuck up.  If he was as good or like god like you people think he would be getting the live drives he doesn't get the live drives because he is a shadow of what he use to be.  He's washed up! Wake up!

MCR, I agree and disagree with you. There's no argument that Walter is not even close to what he was in the 80's. But as a Mainer, I see him race with what I consider a very average driving colony here. And he does not stand out as anything special to the rest of them. Young ones like Mitch Cushing and Matty Athern run from here seeking better racing venues and more money. The realtionships between trainers and drivers are pretty consistent at Plainridge and it won't be easy for Walter to get good drives. I think as the meets gets going, he might pick up some "live"mounts.

He is average at best himself now.  Believe back in the day i drank the Case cool aid he was the best at his time and prime. But I also look at his off track life and can't fathom what he did.  If that was my daughter Walter would be looking over his shoulder everyday.   Harness racing and harness racing only would idolize this guy.  It isn't 1980 anymore.   He could of had life by the balls and all the money with it.  Instead he had a woman on the ground and a knife in her back! Yea yea he did his time bla bla bla... you're right he did do his time. Yes he deserves to make a living.. but let's stop acting like he's something special.   The kind of person that he is outweighs any talent he may have had in my opinion.

Walter Case was one of the most overrated drivers to ever sit behind a horse. You clowns judge drivers and horses by their quality wins so ask yourself, how many big wins does he have in his resume? Breeders Crowns? Triple Crowns? Meadowlands Pace? North American Cup? ?

FYI, look at the current Plainridge Park driving colony!

Not many of these drivers have Breeders Crown, Triple Crown, Meadowlands Pace, North American Cup, et al.

I believe Walter drove at the Big M too!

Walter also drove in 1 of the toughest driving colonies in the 1990's---Northfield Park!

Yes, Case drove at M1 in 1983.

[Grandstand Handicapper]

Yes, Case drove at M1 in 1983.

Walter not only drove at the Meadowlands.....b ut he was in the top 5 at the Meadowlands for a few years.....against guys named Campbell, O'Donnell, Moiseyev, Webster, and Manzi.....just to name a few.

   Funny, how he is listed on 6 today  and 2nd choice in 3 others for someone who is washed up and being boycotted. He already has won two at that track that has the highest overnight purses in the country including the Meadowlands. Trainers there are tripping over each other to get him to drive their horses.

If trainers are tripping over each other to get him to drive their horses then they must be as drunk as he is.

[Locked in with pace]

The drivers in almost every race are Ranger, Beckwith, Athearn, Switzer, Graffam and Monti. Walter will get drives on the others. 6 drives on Thursday will probably be a normal day going forward. He'll be listed over the 2nd tier of drivers. He's aged, but he doesn't look out of place.
