Wonder What's Up With Travis?
« on: March 27, 2013, 06:52:38 AM »
Not many drives and seems to be exclusively behind father Joe's horses at Maywood and Balmoral of late....any Chicagoland folks have any insight?   Always felt Travis Seekman was a up n' comer to watch.  Nice kid, nice family.  I know the family moved from Michigan to Illinois - surely he can't be making a living with only a handful of drives every once in awhile.

He might be nice kid but hasn't been able to grasp the driving thing and probably never will. Seekman and Teague have similar operations of nice stock with their helpless kids driving especially Travis. Don't be surprised to see Jesk horses end up somewhere else real soon. Maybe policeman or fireman school is in the kids' future like another so-called up and comer Ridge Warren. On a positive note it's graet to see Casey doing well before and after the mishap a few weeks ago and up and comer Jamie Moyer driving ok on LaFontaine's stock.

Saw he got took down at 44 to 1 last night at balmoral. Didn't see replay though. I for one look elsewhere unless his horse tons the best.

Cashman, you are right.  Hate to play the guy.  The young driver that has shown a lot of improvement of late is IMHO, Kyle Husted.  I find myself playing his horses more of late.

Good eye, Hal!  Kyle drove a great race last year to win our Memorial Race....maybe he will again next Saturday too!

Kyle is a super nice kid, Pam Coleman is his Mom. He didn't show a lot of young talent but he is steadily improving.
