Where are the drivers and the MSOA!!!!! This is a safety issue. Is the need for an outrider in the contract? How many horses has Missy caught in the past few years? Time for the drivers and the MSOA to stand up to the management, stop sending Hankins's, all he wants to do is hit the buffet, smile and agree with mgmt. Gillock needs to get off his fat ass and leave the farm and stand up for the horseman and quit thinking about himself.

"the friendly track" is no prize, I don't generally stick up for the Meadows but at least the barn area is alot better than the disgrace of Batavia Downs, PP has to be rolling in his grave to look at the place. Looking like Yonkers, Monticello etc.

How is this for instance, Horse stumbles and driver is caught in the bike being dragged around the track. Who catches the horse?

THE BETTERS?
THE ANNOUNCER?
THE TELLERS?
THE STARTING GATE?
THE DUMBASS THAT IS SAVING THE TRACK A COUPLE HUNDRED DOLLARS A CARD FIRING THE OUTRIDER?

YOU FUCKING IDIOTS?

Absolutely Totally Correct! If something like that should ever happen the money the track would be sued for would have allowed then to have 100 outriders!

If they want to save money, get rid of Roger!!!!! The place has gone through a lot of cost cutting over the years, the worst was letting the switchboard operator (Ruby) go. Just wrong.

Whether this is true or not doesn't matter.

OUTRIDERS ARE LIKE SEATBELTS, YOU DON'T NEED ONE UNTIL YOU DO!


And depending on the emergency an outrider could save a life or at least minimize serious injuries.

Pampered tracks and horsemen cancel races when it rains! 94z.sm

Something man and horses have survived for thousands of years without injuries. 11.wp

Just the thought of these same pampered horsemen and management wanting to expose themselves to possible serious injury or massive lawsuits over removing a true safety issue is insane. 98za.ag

Penn Gaming starting to realize what a bad deal buying the Meadows was.............. ......Most don't know that when the first deal was cut with Cannery Casinos, Penn Gaming sued to get the deal renegotiated..... ................S eems that the books were cooked to show that the Meadows was flush with profit........... .......It isn't..............On e of the main reasons is the deal with the MSOA and all the extra benefits horsemen and the Mouth get.............. ..........The Mouth was took a cut.............. .......But the Mouth still claims harness racing is the result of all his efforts.......... .....Many trying to figure out what those efforts are, including Penn Gaming........... ............Book deal was a joke just like the Mouth............ ........

Roger needs to give the meadows a full refund of his salary for the last ten years. If mgmt thinks people watch, bet or anything else because of him they are just plain stupid. They won't get any bad press if they can him, they might get a bunch of congratulations.

If you are around him for any length of time you can't stand him. All he wants to talk about is himself, pretty boring after a couple of seconds.

from that great philosopher, Toby Keith  : 

I wanna talk about me
Wanna talk about I
Wanna talk about number one
Oh my me my
What I think, what I like, what I know, what I want, what I see
I like talking about you, you, you, usually, but occasionally
I wanna talk about me
I wanna talk about me

You you you you you you you you youyouyouyouyou
I wanna talk about me

How long before they really figure out the place is a bust and peddle it to the next group of idiots. They need to look at the people who did the due diligence for the purchase, got sold a painted pig.

Drivers at the meadows have no balls, would not try to stand up to mgmt, MSOA has no balls either, board scared of mgmt, all just worry about themselves. Gillock biggest pussy of them all, doesn't even come to track very often stays at farm, don't think he likes to hear people complain.

drivers should just not drive - see how fast they rehire the outrider....they are undoubtedly a necessity

actually, there's a rush to 'artificial intelligence ' performing various tasks in the workforce.  How much longer will it be before robots manipulated via artificial intelligence will handle the driving.  if the dummy driver gets trampled-  dust him off, put in a new chip and he's ready to go

Saratoga had an outrider a couple of weeks ago when they had sire stakes. A driver fell off behind the gate (I think it was Mark MacDonald) and the loose horse ran into the 1st turn. Some guy jumped the fence from the grandstand and ran down to the horse and got there at least 30 seconds before the outrider got there. Not sure why they had her there, and it appeared she didn't know either.
