SWOODYI BETCHA YOU COULD WRITE A BOOK ABOUT ALL THE SKULLDUGGERY THAT HAS HAPPENED AT THE CHICAGO AREA TRACKS. YOU MUST HAVE SOME GREAT STORIES. AND THEN SOME OF THESE OLE COCK KNOCKERS WONDER WHY HARNESS RACING, CHICAGO IN PARTICULAR, HAS SUNK AS LOW AS IT HAS.
C'MON SWOODY, PUT PEN TO PAPER. SCOTT N. WROTE A BOOK, WHY CAN'T YOU?YOU COULD GET SOME HELP FROM THAT GUY THAT USED TO POST ON BARN TO WIRE. CAN'T REMEMBER HIS NAME BUT I GUESS HE WAS A HARNESS RACING REPORTER IN CHICAGO. HE USED TO GO TO ALL THERACING COMMISSION MEETINGS AND WOULD REQUEST TIME TO SPEAK. AND ONE TIME HE WAS IN THE NEWS FOR HIS PROTEST. CAN'T REMEMBER WHAT HE WAS PROTESTING, BUT HE ROPED OFF THIS LITTLE AREA I THINK IN THE INFIELD AND SAID HE WOULD NOT LEAVE.DO YOU KNOW WHO I MEAN? I CANNOT FOR THE LIFE OF ME REMEMBER THE GUY'S NAME. BUT I GUESS HE WAS A BIG TIME REPORTER. MAYBE HE WOULD TEAM UP WITH YOU AND YOU GUYS WOULD CRANK OUT A BEST-SELLER.
WAS IRA SMOLIN SNITCHING ON PEOPLE BACK IN THE OLD DAYS??? BACK THEN THEY DIDNT TAKE TO KINDLY TO SNITCHES. HOW DID IRA SURVIVE?SL
SWOOEY....anyone who was around back then knows that. My articles were so anti.management. .that LANGLEY. threatened to deny me stalls......my friends were. JEFF NORTHROP..AND DAN POPROSKI.......5 races and night were fixed....I never ratted anyone out. ...it's bullshit
I know that is true. Guys who tried to rat Banks and his mob out either ended up dead/missing or after their lives were threatened they were so afraid they got out of town as fast as their dually could carry them.And when an outside chemist thief like Pelling tried to commingle with the local thieves Langley would protect the local gang by sending Pelling and his like packing.
In the grand tradition of a famous Jim Dolbee quote, Tim Curtin "Taught the betting public a lesson". And what you think about it doesn't matter one bit. Is it really slander when I was standing right there next to him holding my breath while he reeked of sour alcohol? Again, another definition you need to look up. 1st person accounts are not hearsay nor slander, they are commonly referred to as an eye witness account! Ask Tim if he ever conspired with Scott Robbins, Dave Maxwell, Art Gregory etc... at Balmoral to "have his turn"? When Flapper first started racing I was told by Earl not to bet until Maxwell said it was our turn to win. Flapper paid $22 to win and keyed a $5,000 tri when Del Chupp got up for 2nd with the longest shot on the board. Tim didn't drive in my race but was part of that click. You can't silence the truth nor will you be able to contain it. Plop will survive any attempts by whatever lawyer you can afford trying to shut it down. I will tell you something that I sometimes have to remind my kids. Just because YOU didn't witness it doesn't mean it didn't happen.
