Nobody gives a fuck what Obama has to say look at that hideous building in Hyde park he designed then we can talk carrot boy

I don't like the whole walking interview thing. Everyone's used to doing interviews in the circle following the race. Do it there. Walking and talking just doesn't lead to a good interview TV experience. Also, before Scioto hosts again they should upgrade their cameras. Subpar video for this day and age. Not crisp at all. And I found myself missing both the trackus and the split screen views. Otherwise, I think it was fine. If they make a few changes there's no reason they shouldn't be able to host again. I like 5/8th mile racing. Big enough that all but the worst of interferers can get around it. Small enough to still see some great movement vs the single file indian trails of the larger tracks.

That being said I am looking forward to Red Mile next year. Hopefully, they'll do it right with interesting back stories and some actual advertising. Historically they've been more vested in casino operations than actual live racing.

I hope they can host again
Awesome experience being there

I was sitting trackside, so I saw no broadcasts
I thought John Rallis did a great job capping and interviews
On his capping he gave lots of insight on his strategies and angles
Good questions on driver and owner interviews

Short track suck 

I  hope someone can repost the interview on here

 

He spoke his mind   This is a disgrace having the crown on short tracks

Nice job Z MAN 

Scotty is entitled to his opinion but he showed his Rick Zeron DNA by voicing it on harness racing's biggest night. You wouldnt catch dex or todd doing something that vain, they just figure things out and cash the checks. Mile racing is unbelievably predictable and shit to bet, I found the 5/8ths added some intrique to the racing. Lots of guys got locked in while others figured it out and as a bettor there were numerous scores to be had, unlike 90% at the big tracks where fav's make front get their 29 second breather and sprint away.

Yes, members on the Horseplop forum regularly accuse Mike Petrelli of using a massive rotation of alternate accounts. While some users debate whether every single account belongs to him, forum tracking threads list a variety of usernames alleged to be Petrelli's aliases. [1] (https://www.horseplop.com/index.php?topic=85213.150)
Aside from Triggered and Sweet, other names frequently tied to him by forum members include: [1] (https://www.horseplop.com/index.php?topic=85213.150), [2] (https://www.horseplop.com/index.php?topic=85686.0)

Analyzing "sockpuppet" accounts on an unmoderated or loosely moderated forum like Horseplop relies heavily on digital forensics and open-source intelligence (OSINT) principles. Because everyday users lack back-end forum access to verify account details, they rely on circumstantial evidence.
A standard methodology to analyze whether accounts like "Triggered," "Sweet," and the others belong to the same person involves looking at several indicators:

1. Linguistic and Stylistic Fingerprinting (Stylometry)

People are creatures of habit when they type. You can analyze the posting history of these accounts by looking for unique behavioral markers:
• Punctuation and Formatting quirks: Look for identical habits, like using double or triple commas (e.g., ,, or ,,,), a specific spacing style before punctuation, or unique line breaks. [1] (https://www.horseplop.com/index.php?topic=85213.150)
• Signature Vocabulary and Slang: Forums like Horseplop develop hyper-local insults or terms (e.g., terms like "mutt," "scumbag," "rat," or specific acronyms like ). Check if the suspected accounts use identical, uncommon phrases across different topics. [1] (https://www.horseplop.com/index.php?topic=86193.30), [2] (https://www.horseplop.com/index.php?topic=84633.30), [3] (https://www.horseplop.com/index.php?topic=84633.0)
• Capitalization Patterns: Notice if multiple accounts randomly capitalize the same words or leave the exact same common typos uncorrected.

2. Chronological Overlap and "Arguments"

A common tactic for multi-account users is to build a false sense of consensus or carry out personal vendettas. [1] (https://www.horseplop.com/index.php?topic=86193.30)
• The Echo Chamber: Check if the accounts constantly reply to each other, bump each other's threads, or instantly step in to defend one another when another forum member attacks them.
• Time-Stamp Gaps: Look at the posting timestamps. It is physically difficult to post from two accounts at the exact same second. If Account A goes completely dark for months at the exact moment Account B becomes hyper-active, they may share a single user.

3. Metadata and Technical Breadcrumbs

If you have admin tools—or if an administrator leaks information—technical data provides the ultimate confirmation:
• IP Address Matching: Checking if the accounts log in using the exact same IP address or the exact same block of a localized VPN provider.
• Account Renaming History: On Simple Machines Forum (SMF) software—which Horseplop appears to use—changing an account's display name or username sometimes leaves a public digital trail. For example, forum sleuths noted that "Trigger" changed its account name to "Sweet," meaning the underlying member ID and post history remained permanently linked. [1] (https://www.horseplop.com/index.php?topic=85314.15)

4. Shared Personal Information

"Sockpuppets" often slip up by sharing identical real-world context. Look to see if the accounts drop the exact same specific pieces of local harness racing knowledge, mention eating at the same specific tracks, or reference the exact same ongoing legal or personal grievances that only one specific person would know in such vivid detail.
The Bottom Line: On platforms like Horseplop, users often weaponize "sockpuppet" accusations to dismiss anyone they disagree with. To perform a reliable analysis, you have to separate a genuine pattern of identical typing habits and account-renaming history from standard forum paranoia.

Looking closely at the posting patterns on the Horseplop forum, members who track these accounts have pointed out several distinct linguistic "fingerprints," formatting habits, and behavioral traits to back up their sockpuppet claims. [1] (https://www.horseplop.com/index.php?topic=85213.150)
Specific habits to focus on include:

1. The Double-Comma Typo (,,)

One of the most frequently cited punctuation quirks tying these accounts together is the habit of using double or triple commas (,, or ,,,) mid-sentence instead of standard punctuation or a single comma. Tracking threads on the board explicitly mock this habit, noting that multiple "separate" accounts will make the exact same typo within minutes of each other. [1] (https://www.horseplop.com/index.php?topic=85213.150), [2] (https://www.horseplop.com/index.php?topic=84001.165)

2. Obsessive Focus on Visual Proof and Screenshots

When posting under "Triggered" (or previously "Trigger" and "Sweet"), there is a heavy reliance on high-volume, repetitive visual drops. Forum users frequently complain that these accounts derail threads by dumping: [1] (https://www.horseplop.com/index.php?topic=85314.15), [2] (https://www.horseplop.com/index.php?topic=85657.0)
• Massive blocks of text from public court documents (especially Southern District of New York federal filings).
• Dozens of screenshots from Facebook pages or text messages.
• AI-generated images to poke fun at other users. [1] (https://www.horseplop.com/index.php?topic=85419.0), [2] (https://www.horseplop.com/index.php?topic=85657.0)

3. Hyper-Targeted Grudges and Vocabulary

Sockpuppet accounts usually give themselves away through their enemies list rather than their writing. The accounts tied to Petrelli show a hyper-fixation on a very small, specific group of topics and people within the standardbred industry:
• The Equine Advocacy Angle: Posts frequently shift to equine advocacy, horse slaughter, or "viande richelieu" (a slaughterhouse reference that frequently appears in their arguments). [1] (https://www.horseplop.com/index.php?topic=85419.0), [2] (https://www.horseplop.com/index.php?topic=83262.0)
• The Specific Targets: The accounts focus obsessively on the same handful of industry figures, like targeting top trainer Ron Burke or specific board members (like "Andrew" or "G") using highly repetitive, daily insults. [1] (https://www.horseplop.com/index.php?topic=85213.90), [2] (https://www.horseplop.com/index.php?topic=85657.0)

4. Direct Accountability Tracking

If you want a concrete starting point to see how other users analyzed this on the forum, search for the thread titled "Mike Petrelli and his various usernames now put on my ignore list" on the Horseplop Harness Racing Board. In that thread, users actively time-stamp and cross-reference how accounts like Triggered, Sweet, and seen2much switch off in tag-team arguments to make it look like a crowd of people are agreeing with one another. [1] (https://www.horseplop.com/index.php?topic=85213.90), [2] (https://www.horseplop.com/index.php?topic=85213.150), [3] (https://www.horseplop.com/index.php?topic=84001.165)
