Esp at the meadowlands, I view him as a toss out almost all the time.

Finally someone who seems to know their drivers. He is a toss out in my book as well. I feel more comfortable betting on Vinnie Ginsburg. Same age as Joe B but much more talent. Much better w getting horses to race early.

Im glad you mentioned Ginsburg because that is exactly who I had in mind when I was writing my previous post. He gets some decent horses from his uncles. When you look at the driver colony all of the top drivers usually drive first call for big stables like Burke, Takter, ect. Why bet on this kid when you got people like Tetrick, Gingras, Miller, ect. If the big guys are out of town Bongiorno might get some decent drives, but even then people like Marcus Miller and Brett Miller come in and are worth playing. He is still young and who knows, but as of right now, ill pass

My only problem with Vinny Ginsburg is his name

Maybe Joey Bongiorno needs to change his name to Chaim Bongiorno

Just an attempt at humor PA.

Ginsburg is a very jewish name. Jews typically do not name their children after Saints so Vinny Ginsburg would be as rare as say Patrick Finkelstein.

So finding a Vinnie Ginsburg would be as unusual as finding someone with a very italian last name like Bongiorno with a very Jewish first name like Chaim.

Jokes are never very good when you either have to
1. Explain them or
2. Are not very funny in the first place

This one likely has a bit of both.

Bello, yesterday, when you made that joke, I got it!...Wasn't that great, but I got it all the same...

Most people wouldn't have, I don't think, tho....
