Moreau makes an average driver look good.

Corey Johnson is another one of my favorite guys to play. He won with all the Baillargeon horses he got first time out.  :)

I think Filion is an elite driver and has been for a long time. He's dominated at every track he's called home. Moreau has been fantastic since going out on his own... He can light one up and is sharp with his Money and horse management.

I don't think being the leading driver at Blue Bonnets ,Hippodrome or Rideau Racetrack is enough to put you in elite status.
That's kinda like being the leading driver at Maywood or Northfield .

Leading driver at WEG as well, how about that?

And meaning no offense to the Northfield or Maywood guys, but Montreal and Rideau tracks are/were better. But guys like Andy Miller, David Miller and Tim Tetrick were leading drivers at those small tracks. Are they average too?

Filion has around 7000 wins, won O'Brien awards, driving titles, Breeder's Crowns, etc... How you could suggest he's average is beyond me.

(Jmo) , the WEG driver colony is one of the most overrated group there is .

Luc and Moiseyev are average at best right now , im a fan of Waples (reminds me of a poor mans David Miller) Christoforou , Brewer and both Macdonald's - would starve in the states

Saftic - almost unbetable  Mayotte - terrible  Baillargeon - below average
Billy Davis - seems like the kid has some talent


Besides Jamison who else would even be a factor in the states ? McNair and S Zeron would hold their own but wouldn't crack the top 5 at the Meadowlands when all the regulars are there.

Like I said this is just my opinion

Glad guys like you are my competition in the betting pools. You're way off on your evaluation of most drivers at WEG. Scott Zeron the best in Canada and top five in the world.

Scott Zeron would get destroyed driving with all the big m regulars. I don't know how many times this kid gets a horse lost that has no business getting beat.

As for Filion, I know he didn't drive ALL of Moreau's winners, but he's definitely driven most. Moreau has 54 wins, Filion has 69 at the Woodbine meet.

I don't know what races you're watching but I guess opinions and such make the world go around. The top 5 weg guys would win anywhere. Jamieson,Fillion,Davis,McNair,Zeron

Yep I have no idea what races I'm watching. I obviously don't know anything about playing Canadian races so maybe I should just play Balmoral from now on.

I would tend to think that not one of those clowns could go to a major circuit and break the top 15. The jury's still out on Marcus.

I totally agree

I used to think highly of the WEG drivers until Mark Macdonald came down to race at Yonkers. He was one of the best in Canada and he can't hold is own at Yonkers. He's come over to drive at M1, which has mostly "B" drivers now, and he still can't win.

Jamieson doesn't fair that well at M1 either...and when the big boys migrate north to Canada for big events, Jamieson rarely wins.

The WEG drivers are good drivers, but they don't compare to Sears, Brennan, Campbell, Tetrick, Pierce, Gingras, and the few others I've left out.

SZeron is getting better, but he's got a long way to go to be mentioned with the best.

I'll bet Jody, Scott, and Filion all day at WEG, but not when the big boys are in town.

Please remember that Mac Donald was NOT very good on the WEG circuit in the last couple of years due to his head injury suffered while sparing Jamieson's life. It takes a few years to come back, and I think he's getting there. If he gets some more impressive horsepower to work with, he is good enough to go with the best drivers on the planet and it won't be long until he proves it.
