boobybec Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 Is it time they put another driver on? Nothing against Clint Ford, however in Australia his ability to make the right call at the right time will be under huge scrutiny. I'm all for the small guys having a go, but in this situation I thought they may put someone else on. Marcoola and Clint will probably make a liar of me but a pro doing the driving makes more sense. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hunterthepunter Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 going to be great show down with the two trotters in that race 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusty Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 If it wasn't to be Clint in the cart, then who? Aussie drivers tend to try and go quicker than last weeks pay at the start of most races, especially when the big coin is up. Huge emphasis on gate speed and finding the lead, can often be detrimental to their chances at the end of the race. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rangatira Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 i think the connections and trainer should choose the driver Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brodie Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 Clint knows the horse and personally think that he has done a very good job of driving Marcoola! There are a ton of other drivers I would sack on other horses before Clint Ford on Marcoola! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boobybec Posted January 24, 2019 Author Share Posted January 24, 2019 He has brodster, I agree simply because he is a freakishly good horse. You can't knock winning form for sure, we will see I guess, but for some reason I will be inclined to lay him this aussie trip. Speaking of lay........... ooops wrong forum ? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clint Ford does not drive very often as we all know, as the Tomlinson’s seem to do all Ken Ford’s driving! Not too sure why Clint drives Marcoola as it is basically the only one he does drive for the team! Ken Ford is a massively underrated trainer of trotters and the whole family is an asset to harness racing in Canterbury! Yes Marcoola is an extremely good trotter and deserves A Good Driver and I am sure that Clint will stand down if he stuffs up in Australia! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They said yesterday it would have a vet exam this morning and was only a 50/50 chance of starting. Obviously they got the wrong 50. Big shame because it was going to be agreat spectacle with T Valley in front and the rest trying to run it down. Certainly opens it up for Marcoola now. http://www.harness.org.au/media-room/news-article?news_id=39382 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally don’t think he is retarded at all, likeable bloke who’s always available for interviews and doesn’t seem slow when he speaks!!! I am sure if he stuffs up,he will hand over the reins to someone else! Dont believe he deserves the names you are calling him, and it doesn’t really do your cause much good!

Looks like you might have been right on the money. Both horses beaten a long way out from home, they clearly haven’t had any experience travelling horses over the ditch before and it showed, Speeding Spur wasn’t much better mind you.

Mardy Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 Don't think anyone can bag Clint for his drive on him,he moved at the right time,but it looks like all the travelling they did took its toll.He's way better than that and im sure next time we will see the real Marcoola again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
