I worked as a groom on a few of the new tracks. Not once did anyone tell me of this harness legend. This is an indication as to why this sport is dead. The last great driver with out a racing past to get in is Palone and he is a man. It is like getting accepted to Delta flight attendant school, harder than Harvard Law.
I drove in a couple of races against her at Wolverine Raceway, and i can say that pound for pound, she could hit a horse as hard as any one in colors..she was fearless and relentless when she hopped in a race bike...
@@edbaranek4243 Best male driver in my opinion would be John Campbell on pacers and Ron Waples senior on trotters. My bank balance over the past 50 years says I'm right. Remember the government's tax take is a lot higher up in Canada where I bet or did bet. I made a living betting horse races, betting prize fights and playing pinball worldwide in pinball tournaments. Waples made me enough money to buy a race track myself. In all the decades the bettors never caught on. Waples would only go every other week on a horse and only raced to win. If a horse came in from another track and he had the drive he went 100 percent of the time with that horse. It was simple and they never caught on. The rest of my bets were going with the track bias betting front runners 'til closers won and visa versa. Of course to minimize the government's tax take I mostly bet triactors.
@@edbaranek4243 Use the Living Hall of Fame that is broodmares and the database to make money. Never go by times go by breeding. That's how I made money in the later years. I bet the farm on Bulldog Hanover out of the Lady Ashlee Ann lineage. harnessmuseum.com/living-horse-hall-of-fame/L www.allbreedpedigree.com/bulldog+hanover
I used her on a mare I was racing at the old Liberty Bell Park in Philadelphia and found out she could really pack a wallop with her whip, more than any other driver I ever used! My mare cane back with some of the biggest welts on her back I had ever seen and she really didn't appear to be hitting that hard!
@@zipchtkdn7804 Well I'm the guy who predicted Bulldog Hanover would win the North America Cup after his second race as a two year old. I also predicted Sylvia Hanover would be a world champion as age two and three after her second qualifier as a two year old. I don't many many predictions.
@@zipchtkdn7804 I make next to no predictions and only really got Lancaster Bomber wrong. I was initially right but the trip down to the Meadowlands must have killed the horse before he even raced at the Meadowlands.
