Harness Racing / Re: Casino Licenses and Yonkers« Last post by seriously on December 03, 2025, 04:05:15 PM »Casinos are booooring! True! Could you summarize what harness tracks are, in this general sense? It has to be doubly colorful and pathetic, because it is at least that. 43

Winners should be getting a higher % of the purse, not lower...diminishe s the incentive to actually try to win. I think tracks should pay top three only...maybe 2% or 1% for fourth and fifth but that's it. Enough with the participation trophies already... 44

Sounds like every day is a bad day for you. I'd agree with everything you said, but then we'd both be completely wrong about everything. Time for ignore. Wait, before you go on ignore...do you need a hug? Good luck with that. Well you're still 100% Wrong! ![]() 45

Political Roundtable / Tennessee special election-« Last post by rainman2 on December 03, 2025, 02:15:06 PM »And people wonder why the United States of America is getting worse each day instead of better!
Republican Senator Ted Cruz said on Fox News: “What does this mean for the midterms in a year? It’s going to be a turnout election, and the left will show up. Hate is a powerful motivator. They hate President Trump.” IMO, my response to this is: individuals (especially Trump and others both parties) cause their own problems by the things they say and do! And yet they blame others! SO SAD and SO TRUE! It's called passing the blame and it's so sad what the world has become today because of these types of individuals instead of working to make things better by making better choices when dealing with the issues at hand. FYI, years ago, politicians agreed to disagree and yet more often than not, things didn't get personal like they are today. They had dinner together afterwards and went on with their lives and resumed their political differences on the floor of government instead of the press. Here we go again with the word "HATE"! And this comes from an individual who is elected to make America better! We all agree to disagree on things in life especially politics. However, everyone (both left and right) have to stop using the work "HATE" regardless of how much individuals dislike what is going on in the world today. The word "HATE" causes other things that happen in the world including destruction of property, injuries, and death! Is it so difficult for people educated and otherwise to use different words to describe their displeasure when there can be consequences for these words and actions that can occur! FYI, for those that might not (will not) acknowledge this, there are “HATE” crimes which carry stiffer jail time if done for a particular reason against individuals, groups, etc.!! 48

Harness Racing / Re: Is Tony Done?« Last post by Brkn Headpole on December 03, 2025, 01:44:55 PM »Tony needs to start to be more of a businessman, cut his numbers back and get rid of the dead wood. He's not looking for overnight horses and that's what he's got now. The 2 farms has to be a big burden not just monetarily. I think his Ky property is far easier to sell than Tullo's, but the future is Ky not NJ. Long term he's going to be better off to get out of NJ. Even if he has to take a loss, better to bite the bullet now, He also doesn't train at Sunshine Meadows anymore, which was far less stressful and he had a audience that he doesn't have in NJ I also think the pressure of producing top stakes juveniles leads to overclassificatio n. Pelling starts many in the TSS series or other grassroot programs until they develop and show they can go with the big dogs. Tony time and again throws them to the wolves way too early and stunt their development. Whether its owners who want the recognition of racing in the big races, he's got to judge his stock more adeptly. I see lines on a few horses who look like they have a bit of ability and only have 10k on their card when they might have 50-60k if they were managed better and find softer spots to make money. 50
Harness Racing / DOES THE MEADOWLANDS PAYS ALL HORSES THAT RACE AT THEIR TRACK« Last post by Locked in with pace on December 03, 2025, 01:40:25 PM »Not sure if still the case. in the past, they paid all horses that finished 6th through 10th in amateur races. Is this still true?
Do they do the same for overnight races? If they do pay all. Do the horses finishing 1st through 5th get less? And do any other tracks pay all finishers no matter where they finish? |
