That won't happen because tracks would lose money.

15 years ago i had a friend in the game who always had 8-10 horses and i was good friends with his big owner who told me he made money in the game as bills were fair and his horses rarely broke down but one day an owner claimed a horse off him and he moved up in class every week and kept winning and the trainer who claimed off him claimed his barn and he quit so about five years ago i ran into him and he told me that he would not run an operation where his owners would lose money and would not load his horses up every week and his days with his true love were over and it was sad for me to here this,,,,,,,,,,,,,,He only hired girls to work with his horses as he wanted people to take the best care of his horses but the one thing he told me was that yes he wanted to train but his wife and kids were happy as he had money and rarely did while training,,,,,,,,

When i was in my younger days and we had horses lIke sONSAM who could go from 10th to first and GOVERNOR SKIPPER come from last at the head of the stretch to beat a 3 horses off Kopas that were machines or LE BARON ROUGE with his amazing closing speed i had race track heros that i followed or when the bigm started and i watched never ending flows i loved horse racing as all 10 could win a race and i remember RON WAPLES and DOUG BROWN going down to the bigm and both looked real poor and their winning percentage was super low as now it was not leave out and sit and that is when racing hooked me as i wanted to see racing were all entrants had a good shot,,,,,,,,,,i remember drivers that were always on the front end and not giving it up and you could handicap that,,,,,,,,,,,,,i remember that most guys that drew the rail on a half mile drove as fast as they could and you could handicap that and today none of that exist,,,,,i find it shocking when someone is not bitter today that loves the sport as i find it hard to love,,,,,,,

In the Meadowlands heyday, there was so much movement early in the race, sometimes you had 3 or 4 lead changes before the half, not anymore. Too much half in and half out, and hope to get there in the stretch on a fast last quarter.

I sent a horse to Fred when he was at Monticello. Marvin Maker was generally his driver.

Exactly my point that you can promote something that is honest and Del insko and DANCER could be interviewed and honest at that time as the game was legit,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,CARDIGAN BAY was a great  horse that never had the public think a drug induced horse,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, Joe o Brien was not giving up holes and HOUGHTAN and DANCER and garnsey were great names to promote with,,,,,,,,,,,,

Actually not! Del drove Moonstone Bay in probably the biggest fixed race in Harness. Had to be escorted from the Yonkers Paddock by Police and I believe indicted.

  • Trigger: It's a pleasure betting tracks like Harrington, and LBJ today.  You handicap, and driver's are trying, apprecative of the big stage, or just big purses.  Fucking faggots picking their spots - toop trainers and drivers stiffing day and night if it all ain't perfect.
