IMO, Donk is a better turf trainer than dirt trainer.

If you ask him why, he'll joke about it and tell you he doesn't know. But I think it's probably because he does not work his horses hard or frequently. Once he gets them fit off a layoff with a series of slow works, all they do is gallop every day. He'll occasionally throw in a short breeze if the horse hasn't run in awhile because he couldn't find a spot, but mostly they are just galloping. His goal is not maximizing his win%. It's to keep his horses sound, teach them how to finish, and try to spot them where they at least fit. That style works better on turf.

Most of the top dirt trainers seem to work their horses much harder and faster, but maybe that's why they often don't last as long.

One other thing. He's a hell of a nice guy.

Hey Class

Yeah that makes sense his last 4 Turfers have hit the board at decent prices although not getting the win

I'm hoping he can sneak one of these in today for a nice price across the board and catch folks sleeping

Hey Class

Yeah Donk came through with #2 Big Package he paid $18.70 across the board!!!

Usually he doesn't win he got bet down from 8-1 in the Morning Line to 4-1 at "post time"

I'm not complaining though a win is a win!!!

Let’s see if he can get these to hit the board today at a price at Belmont!!!

Donk hit the board in the 4th race today with #8 Saratoga Treasure and he also came through with #2 Big Package who paid $18.70 across the board

Code:
res10-12-20191	10-12-2019	4th race	8	Saratoga Treasure (NY)	Alw	Turf Firm	6 Furl	D G Donk	3/1#	S			3.3

						WPS %	WPS $	Cost	Return	% Rtrn	Shw $
						100%	$22	$12	$10	83%	6.8
If you played both of Donk's horses across the board you got an 83% return on your money per $2 win place and show wager!!!

I was sure #2 Big Package would have gone off at longer odds given he was 8-1 in the Morning Line

Congratulations to those who saw the #2 Big Package play and were able to make a profit!!!
