Hey Pacer 2, He sure has a lot positives for such a hard worker.
He has very few positives in relation to the numbers he races every year. And his help never saw anything. Forget jogging and training in 10 degree weather, I dont think you have any clue how difficult it is just entering and shipping 150 horses a week.

Thank you Mike for your answer. Back in the 1970's I worked at Suffolk Downs sweeping up dead tickets in the grandstand. I do remember the track crew driving around at night to try and prevent the main dirt track from freezing up or accumulating snow on stormy nights. Back then Suffolk ran the flats from around Labor Day until Memorial Day. I remember a lot of cancellations during the winter months due to cold weather or track conditions. At the same time, Rockingham Park ran harness races all winter with few cancellations. Never could understand why the harness races never hardly cancelled. Then again - I always thought the single shaft sulky was a great idea!!!

The best thing yesterday was that the Illnois Racing Board approved the recapture to Hawthorne….what a joke by the racing board. Your giving money to a track who is broke
What sense does that make???

I’m not sure what sucked. The betting pools were good, the weather was great and I enjoyed the racing.
Compared to what, a Canadian fair track Are you even a $2 bettor? Seriously, to each his own on the enjoying part.

They paid alot to have a horse winter racing
Would've been better off buying Bit of a Legend N to breed and a nice Trotter (save 1.5 million)

The last years of Pompano Park Raceway were a disgrace...
Few miles away from me, might as well been on Mars.

I am not a horseman, although I did ride a pony once as a kid - so please be kind when answering my question.
Thoroughbreds never seem to race when temperatures drop down into the twenties, how is it not a problem for standardbreds? Are harness horses more adaptable to winter weather or is it the difference between flat racing and harness racing - or something else? REMEMBER BE NICE ......I repeat - I am NOT a horseman, I am a HORSE PLAYER (one of the few left, I might add!)
Harness horsemen are too broke and desperate to miss a week or two of racing because of weather and because of this, horses are forced to race in extreme weather conditions. I promise you, you are not doing your horse any favors when racing in temperatures below 10F. Injury because of track condition is a possibility but even more of a risk is damage done to horse's lungs.
