Gural Gives Case OK to Drive at the Big M

[NIATROSS]

But he could get a Jackass to run a 1:55 mile at Northfied tomorrow.JMO

Good post until the last sentence.

Letting Case back does nothing but provide the sport another blackeye.

Walter was one of the best small track drivers period. It would be amazing if he could regain anything like his old form.  I saw a lot of races in his brief return at Plainridge.  Looked like he was in pretty good form there.  We will see if he can now handle the Big M. I will leave it to others to determine whether he deserves another chance.  Not all of the drivers at the Big M have had pristine pasts. If race fixers can be given another chance, I guess he can too.

I used to speak with Case when he drove for John Carver at Sportsman's Park, fairly often. He was always a good guy, with a quip or some fact that had fallen by the wayside. Never short, or blasphemous.
To carry your point furthur Hal, find one occupation anywhere in the country where all who practise them have "pristine pasts". That includes the current resident of the White House-------------and his frau, the lovely Moooochie !!

Totally disagree.  Walter will immediately garner interest and betting dollars. And he also might give hope to a lot of inmates who are currently incarcerared, not to mention tjeu will likely be releases some day.....and give us a whole new fan base.

As much as I dislike the current President he is not a convicted felon.

I was starting to get excited, thought you made a post without getting political until reading the last sentence.

So you are okay with letting a convicted felon back into the game in the interest of increased handle ?
I am not.

I can't ever imagine bringing a lady friend to the track and telling her "this guy was one of the best drivers of all time, he stabbed his ex wife but was allowed back because he was good at his job, what would you like to drink?"

I was going to ask what you meant by the first post because it wasn't obvious enough.  How about explaining why?  At least for Case.

Of all WC demons,  kicking a horse in a race is just a freaking joke.   Taking your foot out of a stirrup and touching a horse on a hock is not kicking  and many horses respond because it is something different from being slashed 100 times down the stretch.  keeping a horse alive in the bit is a long lost art also.  Most drivers only know to go as fast as you can as long as you can. WC will do well when he starts out because he will be driving horses that have not been getting the best drivers on them because of loyality of drivers to trainers, which is not a bad thing at all, just that WC will be a wake up call for alot of good horses getting previous lacadaisical drives.  Definitely will be a good betting angle if you can catch it.

joke or not it was still against the rules.  If other drivers were playing by the rules and his horse won because he kicked it, the results of the race were not fair and those who bet the other horse were ripped off.
