[LARRY TROTTER]

         Winning the Maywood Park championship is like being the Depaul mens basketball leader in assists . Being the Maywood Park drivers champion is like being being the tallest midget . Being Maywood Park driving championship holder for 2012 is like being the driver with the most D.U.I. convictions .
In closing i guess Oosting has accomplished the triple crown of the above championships .

Uhh, not for nothin', but he was also the Balmoral win leader for 2012.

Yimmy , the way oosting has been driving in late 2012 and now 2013 he will be lucky to repeat .

Give that track 7 or 8 classes and the guy would win twice as many as Marcus.  The problem is that with only 3 NW$ classes under Invitational, he gets bottled up.  Does anyone really wonder why Bonn Scott is lasting so long?

Driving and winning on juiced up Oosting trained horses isn't going to last for OO . Your spot on in why Oosting is having problems with his own stock . However when you watch oosting get catch drives he has lost something over the past year . Not sure if driving against average drivers can diminish your skills .

I've only watched one Blimp card live (and several bunches of Sat nite replays)  since shifting my tack partially back to the trottin' side, so I will hope you're wrong, but I certainly can't say definitively. That colony, especially with Carlson gone, needs every good driver it can get.

And no, Trace Tetrick, that DOESN'T mean you.
