Harness Racing / Re: Who was the best mare to compete vs. the boys?

I read somewhere that Proximity set two track records at two different distances the same day at one of the Western New York tracks.
Any truth to that?


I'm not aware of Proximity racing twice at two different distances and setting track records for both but it's possible. I do know that she was Horse of the Year in 1950 and when she retired she was the leading money-winning Standardbred in history, with career earnings of over $250,000. 

The Stan Bergstein-Proximity Award is named in part after the greatest trotting mare of her era.

Taylor has employed all the cheating trainers. He is opinionated. I don't think he's the type to pay large bills and not know what for. He probably feels like a scapegoat. Nothing happened to Faraldo (Banca) and Ford (Gillis). Two heads of horseman groups & part of the USTA. I hope they don't cave and Taylor is banded.
1. His deceased wife handled the bills.
2. He doesn't care if he's the listed owner... has 1/2 dozen handshake agreements ... does not care about money ..he'll still be in the pictures. 
3. He can delay any crim action forever... no risk there...
He's got next to zero to worry bout.

           If you see a guy at a red light holding a sign begging for money , how much credence  would you have in what they have to say.  Well that’s what we all should be thinking when people like SCM and Trigger are giving their opinions.  Nothing more than homeless street people shooting their mouths off.  Just look at the vile language they need to use, the language of gutter trash.

When the season first started, I thought that the next Superbowl would have some sort of combination of the Chiefs, Ravens, and Bills from the AFC against the Eagles, Lions, and the Buccaneers of the NFC. But I see there's no real "lock" going to the Super Bowl. When they say "Any given Sunday", they ain't kidding. Big teams upset by big underdogs. Of the handicappers of tonight's game between Buffalo and Atlanta, about 85% picked the Bills. A lot of bets down the drain. Hard to pick them this year.

Do I owe you money?

If you had a dollar from everyone you’ve had to ask that question, you could be out of debt!   ngc3  ngc3  ngc3

Harness Racing / Re: Thank You Ann Fobian

A new Saratoga Raceway Hall of Fame (Shame) is being considered thanks to the generous donation from the estate of the late Ann Fobian, who would like to honor the horse people who had the most impact on the downfall of her favorite sport.
Initial eligible candidates for the class of 2026 are: Mark Beckwith, Brian Allen, Sean Campbell, Dan Wilsey, Saul Weintraub, Gary Leonardi, Kyle Spagnola, Rod and Todd Rooney, Kerry Karkos, Al Langile, James Morrill Sr., Don Hoover, Harold Story, Robert Jacques, Don McQueen, Roger Pultz, Christine Kane, Don Braim, Bruce Cogan, Bob Bongiorno, Bruce Mattison, Tommy Bossard, Lenny Powell, Bernard Stearns, and George Walters.

Kerry Karkos was a millionaire enthusiast who enjoyed driving his own horses. Not a drop of larceny in his blood. Your list is flawed.
