IMO that's FAR from IT. Case is the most talented driver I have
ever seen. I watched this guy drive night in, and night out at
Yonkers for years. One year he won 42% of his drives. 42%! That's
Sick! And that was with Luc in the same driver colony. He was light
years better than Luc. Considering Luc has won 3 of the past 4
driving titles at the Meadowlands, Walter can OBVIOUSLY drive against
REAL drivers. Geez, how many drivers better than Luc are in the
sport?
Yes, Walter has serious problems, and issues. But when he's
anything resembling sober, he is as good, or better than anybody
who's ever sat in a sulky. If you've ever seen him go off on one of
his streaks, it's an amazing thing to behold. He'll win 5, 6 races a
night for days on end. He just gets things out of horses, that
nobody else can. Yes, he moves cheap stock ahead much more than he
does with the very top tier horses. But, to say he is only an
excellent driver of cheap stock, is way, way off the mark. He
reminds me a lot of Carmine in his prime. Carmine was better than
anybody at the time with 10k, and 15k claimers. But he sure won his
share of 25k Open Handicaps. So did Walter, except Walter is SO much
better than Carmine ever dreamed of being.
Problem is, Walter likes to hit the bottle and the white stuff.
Which makes him extremely unreliable. It does apear that everytime
he seems on the verge of getting his life back together, he self
destructs. Who knows what goes on in the mind of somebody with that
many demons? But anybody who sees those weaknesses as lack of
talent, is seriously mistaken. It's the same as saying Lawrence
Taylor wasn't an extremely gifted LBer, because he had a drug
problem.
I only hope Walter can come to terms with his demons, before it's
too late.
