it's gotta be the dumbest post I've ever read. A friend of mine told me Mark has done more for the horse business than this guy can do in a lifetime.

Harness Racing / Re: Hawthorne blown away?
« Last post by balmoralfan on Today at 10:01:44 AM »
50 years ago,in Illinois you could race harness at:
Sportsmans
Hawthorne
Maywood
Balmoral
Washington Park
Aurora Downs
Quad City Downs
Fairmount
Cahokia
Arlington raced 1 or 2 years around the time Washington Park burned down.
Add in Springfield, DuQuoin and the county fairs and the standardbred business was in full bloom.

Corrupt owners, fiscal mismanagement, and fans flocking to the riverboats have killed the sport.

I hope old man Langley and Billy Johnston are rotting in their Graves.

Money Management, Money Management, Money Management
In the late 60's early 70's I would often times meet up with Ora Stratton in the Pompano grandstand. In the beginning I would bet the same horses as Ora. I would go home a loser. Ora would go home a winner.
Why?
Ora would bet small most of the time, but big on the one or two horses he really liked. I on the other hand bet small on everything.
I soon learned to only bet on the one or two horses Ora really liked. THEN WE BOTH WENT HOME WINNERS.
I agree. Money management is the key. I think many horse players, myself included love the action. So the bankroll is spread over to many races. But over the last few years, i've adjusted my thinking. It so hard to keep the cash in your pocket and let a race go by. But i'm working hard at just "picking my spots" and the results are way better than before.

Harness Racing / Hawthorne blown away?
« Last post by hasbeen on Today at 08:01:03 AM »
Business paper said this morning that Hawthorne's site may be sold and made into an industrial park. Just like Maywood with an Amazon distribution center.
If Hawthorne gets out of racing, all that will remain in Illinois will be Fairmount, which is spitting distance from St.Louis.
Another day, another Chicago track falls into the grave and into the history books.

9 days until he resigns.  I have it on good authority that on the 1 year anniversary he feels he owes it to the plop to quit!  ngc3

     I'm fairly certain Petrelli Plop will quit way before Mark Ford does.     ngc3 ngc3 ngc3 ngc3

He drove there last year for the first few months of the meet with limited success before disappearing.

He had 124 drives with 12 wins, 10 seconds, and 13 thirds with purse earnings of $160,000.
