Right there with you. No Excuse tonight. He waited way to long to go around Cassie's horse too. Pretty brutal tonight

You think about Willie Mays with the Mets or Johnny Unitas with the Chargers.
Babe Ruth with the Braves.

Knowing when to say enough is tough.
The thing about this sport is that owners and trainers have to make a conscience decision to use him. So I guess some still think he is a top level driver.

I definately didnt have an issue with what you said.
Only was saying that the blame can be spread a little.

I didnt see the race in question.
If someone has a replay id like to see it. Seems like this was particularily bad.

He had two stinkers tonight:

Race 5:

Race 10:

The first race he got parked. Same thing happened to TT on Market share but he had the horse to over come it.

The second race is brutal. So bad that if it was jsut a reg driver racing for $2000 somewhere youd think it was an intentional bad drive.

Sure he got parked... Sitting Seventh!!! Than three high down the backstretch. A night to forget for JC. Hope he bounces back.

So did tetrick in the elimination though. But it did seem TT actually didnt even over use the horse with not catching the rail for a step.

And yes bad night for JC he was no good in the market share race either.

I like how they offer all their replays on youtube immediately and offer a live feed for their races. They know  how to  promote racing.

Shame Canadian racing is under attack.
I once went though canada on a pearl jam tour and I remember there was a harness track in every town.

WEG does a good job that way - free programs as well...and the live horse tracking on the screen is nice as well. They are the best circuit going for the harness fan. McGuinty sold his soul to the Vegas casinos and horse racing will take the fall. Mohawk handled 1.8 million tonight, the bet is still strong. Tough times ahead in Ontario.
