Did it this past weekend where he pushed and pushed the lead horse with a hole behind him 5 lengths long. Schmucks!
I had a lot of drivers for the (mostly) good trotters I owned through the 70's, 80's and early 90's, and some gave poor drives, but none as bad as I see weekly from some of the Meadowlands colony today. There were some who were especially mated to certain trotters I owned, including Sonny Patterson Jr. (may he rest in peace), Mickey McNichol, and others who were good on most of the horses they sat behind (JC, great initials for a great driver), Benny Webster (although not the best on a "delicate" trotter), Ron Waples and Walter Case. Herve was much better on pacers.
