There is no suspense you know what happened.
8th race start of late Pk4:
Crime Boss Todd on #8 Mr McDreamy
No talent son Ridge on #3 Better BangBang
Toad and Useless (Husted) leave from 8&9 hole with Kyle taking the lead and Satan sitting in the pocket.
Ridge was 5th then pulls 1st over before the 1/2 to
COCK BLOCK for daddy Satan.
Ridge was driving for Johnny....oops I mean Red Roberts and stopped advancing right at daddy's wheel.
Just into the stretch Ridge moved over to let daddy Satan out of the hole.
Todd...oops I mean Lucifer moved out to go around Husted but around the 7/8's pole bore back in on Husted.
Lucifer tried to straighten him out but put his wheel up under Husted's horse causing Husted to check up and dart towards the rail to avoid contact with Warren.
This caused Curtin on the #1 Real Peace who was moving up the rail to go inside pylons to avoid contact with Husted.
As all this interference was happening no talent Ridge was still sitting just off daddy's right wheel miraculously not gaining any ground.
Then when Todd straightened Mr. McDreamy back out Ridge all of a sudden had pace to just miss beating daddy at the wire!
Everyone I was sitting with including some guys at the bar said there was NO DOUBT Todd was coming down.
I started telling them and everyone else that the Warren's were thieves and that there was zero chance Association Steward Tom Kelley was going to DQ his buddy Todd.
For you Plop newbies the real Tom Kelley use to defend his drinking buddy Oosting and Warren 15 years ago at the BTW harness forum while he was the Publicity Director for Balmoral Park.
And sure enough just as I predicted there was
NO INQUIRY! Now if you want to review the race there was interference and a pylon violation involving the 4th placed horse so there is no way an Inquiry shouldn't have happened.
But in keeping with the Crime Family traditions in Illinois no inquiry was had and no actions were taken!
Hawthorne racing is rock bottom with Warren, Oosting and Petrelli making it even worse.
I stopped playing Hawthorne races last year and 3 days into this year's meet I am done with it.
I refuse to play any races where Oosting, the Warrens or Petrelli is involved.
Because I know Tom Kelley has their backs!
