Ray, I can only comment on two of the list that you posted....

I have wagered on and was quite satisfied with:

Jonathan Drury....This kid has really come on as of late....He rates a horse well, and can really keep them going late in the mile too....On closers his horses seem to respond well to his inputs and always seem to try hard in the lane for him...(of course if qualified)...Drury has done well at M1 and Pocono as well, and of course his home turf in Ontario...I have been impressed with him lately...

Jordan DeRue, has become quite the teamster as of late...He is as good rating on the engine as well as late....His horses respond well to his commands...He has proven that he can hold them together late in the mile...He has gotten some home first at M1 as well as Pocono, and of course Stga...

In the right spot with a well qualified horse, I wouldn't hesitate to bet on either of these two....And, I have....

Twenty four-year-old Jonathan Drury is currently in second place, three wins behind three-time O’Brien Award winner Jody Jamieson.

Drury, a resident of Rockwood, has certainly made the most of his drives this season accumulating 23 trips to the winners circle and $335,471 in purse earnings.

Drury is also the regular pilot behind Hldontghttoyurdrms, who has captured the $34,000 Preferred Trot for a fourth week in a row for trainer Corey Johnson.

He drive mostly at Woodbine, Flamboro and Georgian Downs.

Perhaps the most valuable experience Drury gained was a summer spent at Pocono Downs in Pennsylvania where he drove regularly for Ontario-based trainer Carmen Auciello.

He always try hard to win when he think he can win.

I knew that Derue had a long suspension a couple of years ago but I didn't know why until I googled him. The story is relevant to the "kicking" thread as well. He was just starting to make an impact when he got suspended, and it took him awhile to get going again, but he's a good young driver, not a cowboy.
