Nice job, and Josh Marks wasn't even in the bike. When does he go again?

I had Josh listed to drive but he went with Scott West's horse instead of mine. But his next start is this monday again at Vernon (race 9 #5). Because of his fast time last race the racing secretary moved him up 2 classes and we now have to race in division 2 for a purse of 8k. The one good thing is only 6 horses in the race.

big driver change today race 6 at vernon today Tim Tetrick will drive #9 Lightning Prince. I finally get (IMO)the best driver in harness racing behind my horse.

thanks. only racing today because of the "BIG" CLINT BLACK concert on friday so this was a make up date. Tim Tetrick failed breathalyzer so he was off all drives. Josh Marks drove mine and won 5 races today. Prince set a new lifetime mark 1:51.2.

I hope he didn't drive up from Jersey. If Prince is going again at Vernon let me know and I'll come watch.

tetrick came up from the driving championship held at tioga downs on sunday. i got to meet all the biggest drivers in harness racing on sunday at tioga, brian sears, john campbell georgie brennan. ron pierce,jason bartlett dave palone,yannick gingras and local represetative bruce ranger. i told tim on sunday he was going to drive prince on monday and he told me he would try his best for me. when i got to the track today and saw tim sitting by himself at a table in the lower clubhoue my heart sank. when i approached him he lowered his head and said he was sorry that he could not drive my horse today. if prince checks out ok in next few days its time to tackle the big boys down at pocono.
