and then I asked grok

"Who is Calhoun on horsePlop?"
====================
and grok said:

Calhoun is a prominent, long-time poster and active member on the HorsePlop.com forum (horseplop.com), which is a niche online community focused primarily on harness racing, thoroughbred racing, betting, and related gambling/sports discussions, often with a raw, unfiltered, and humorous (or sarcastic) tone.

From forum threads and activity snippets:Calhoun appears as a high-volume poster (e.g., over 15,000 posts in some recent references, ranked as "Elite").

He frequently posts in the Harness Racing section and other boards, sharing betting picks (e.g., NBA touts, horse racing angles like favorites' win percentages), jokes, commentary on racing news, and signature-style lines like "Wagwan Calhoun Fam," "Never let be it said Calhoun no...," or dramatic fake announcements (e.g., "Dale Romans running for U.S. Senate in Kentucky. I'm leaving the USA for good.").

Other users reference him regularly in threads, sometimes in banter, disputes, or appreciation (e.g., thanks for Trigger dollars wins, or teasing about his "panties twisted" or "chalk eating weasel" threads).

There's even a thread titled "Why Is 'Calhoun' Running For Identity Cover???" which seems to playfully question or joke about his anonymity or persona, but it doesn't reveal a real identity—suggesting it's part of the forum's typical shitposting/culture.

HorsePlop emphasizes anonymity and pseudonyms (as noted in descriptions of the site), so users generally don't reveal real names.

There's no publicly available information linking "Calhoun" to a specific real-world identity, full name, or off-forum persona. He's simply known as Calhoun within that community—a colorful, opinionated regular who's become a recognizable fixture, especially in harness racing talk.

If you're a forum member or have more context (like a specific thread/post), that might help narrow it further, but based on available info, that's who he is: a pseudonymous HorsePlop mainstay.

So I asked grok

"Who is Trigger on horsePlop?"
=====================

Trigger is a highly active, long-time regular poster on HorsePlop.com, particularly prominent in the Harness Racing and Thoroughbred Racing sections. He's one of the forum's most consistent contributors for handicapping, picks, and daily wagering updates.From forum activity and threads:Trigger runs ongoing daily/weekly threads like "Trigger's Wagering Day [X]" (e.g., "Trigger's Wagering Day 12 - Saturday, January 24, 2026"), where he posts his bets, analysis, results, and commentary on races (often harness at tracks like Mohawk, Meadowlands, etc., plus some thoroughbreds).

He shares specific plays, like exactas, trifectas, supers, Hi5s, and comments on payouts (e.g., "4 horse field SA, payouts 3-1 over 1-1 over 10-1 over 3/2: $1 ex $9.30...").

Frequently involved in handicapping showdowns/challenges, such as "It's Post Time vs Trigger Handicapping Showdown".

Posts across boards, including Nostalgia (e.g., comments on political figures or random banter like "Maduro s headed to Orange County NY" or "Good morning, Plop Treasure Hermophrodite Karen Kirby's Ace").

He's referenced in shoutbox and recent topics for race previews, results, and casual sound-offs (e.g., "He's got 2 going Sat I like - Aunt Sheryl & Coppola").

Like Calhoun (who's known for NBA/horse picks and signature phrases) and Shopping Cart Mike (Petrelli, the drama magnet), Trigger fits the HorsePlop mold: opinionated, entertaining, and a fixture in the harness community. He often gets positive or neutral mentions in threads involving others' drama (e.g., in Shopping Cart Mike threads, Trigger sometimes chimes in neutrally or supportively).

No public info reveals a real-world identity or full name for Trigger—he's strictly known by that handle on the forum, which prioritizes anonymity.

He's not tied to any scandals or real-name drops like Shopping Cart Mike (Petrelli) has been. Instead, Trigger comes across as more of a reliable "touts/handicapper" type who's built a following for his consistent racing content and results-sharing.If you're on the forum, searching for "Trigger" pulls up hundreds of his threads and posts—he's one of the more visible and productive members in the racing discussions.
