Title: Bartlett vs Merriman
Post by: MCR on April 15, 2025, 06:46:20 AM: With Bartlett on an absolute tear he's taken over the top spot in the country by 1. Can he take down perennial leader Merriman? I think he has a big shot!

I guess that depends on if Bartlett gets suspended from his stiff job at The Meadowlands and if Merriman goes to prison or rehab for his dui. What a great look for harness racing, a cheat and a drunk as the two leading drivers so far this year. 11.wp

Classic line. Thanks for the laugh. Sad, but true.

Once the boys come back Bartlett will be a non factor and will likely not even come on Saturdays. He will live and die by Yonkers and can't match the amount of drives Merriman gets. The only reason Merriman is on top is he drives two tracks daily. Now when he gets indicted and the hammer finally comes down on him he will be done.

Agreed, but it should and that goes for both of them.
