Enough of the fake last quarters at meadowlands...

[Zoooooming By!]

The track is measured every year but even if it is short 4 or 5 feet, which I doubt, that only equates to a fifth or 2 fifths of a second. Face it, horses are flying.

Totally Agree!!

JUST DELROY

EX PANDS EVERY YR...

Stop it,,, I’m eating lunch

[Purple Lavern]

Why fine the leader?
What did he do wrong?

Everyone else’s fault for just lining up

didn't I see John Campbell get taken down at the red mile for slow quarter?
If you are intent on making the lead my feeling is that a sensible pace should be kept..

He did not do anything wrong per say- but think for racing to be relevant- well there has to be err racing...

So its everyone elses fault but the leader? why would a 30-1 pull on a 6-5 off soft fractions?

Yes everyone remembers Campbell gotten taken down with odds on equities
That was Dana’s horse and Dana was PISSED!
And he had every right to be

In every other form of racing that I can think of, the leader should do everything they think is right to win(keeping corners shut, conserving energy, etc)

Why should they get penalized for trying to win?
The other people should get penalized for lack of will to win

Just my opinion

[Equus Caballus]

Nothing pisses me off more in harness racing then slow halfs, but if they are letting them get away with it, you need to blame your guy not the one who is racing smart.

Exactly

[Meadows King]

Guys.  I didn’t  have the   Opportunity to watch last nights races but do you remember they flip-flopped the track with the new grandstand   they used to fly down the backside and still come home pretty good I don’t know what the weather condition last night   Where the wind was coming from last night    So  A lot of these last quarters could because of wind   Being with the wind Hugh  and if that’s the case horse going down the back side are sucking air    If some one has weather info from last night it would answer a lot of questions

[PurpleSheetPicks]

I would also add in defense of my long 3rd Q theory that I noticed since the beginning of the year that the 3rd Q times seemed super slow from the get go.

Would not surprise me if Gural had the 3rd and 4th Q distances changed a little just to showcase the super fast last Qs to draw attention to the Big M.  More than anything Gural is a showman, so it wouldn't surprise me.

bingo

[Powerful Patricks Ghost]

And potentially cost myself some money. NO FUCKING WAY. Just so some degenerate can cash a bet, aint gonna and shouldn't happen. My bank account is the number one reason I race, if that causes you to drop tickets, tough fucking shit

We don't need camel jockey owners like you telling us how to drive

Your entire existence is predicated upon stealing money from slots gamblers. Dont even talk shit about gamblers, fuck face.

[Fatboy]

THEY QUIT RACING YEARS AGO....
AND THINK ITS OK TO SIT ON THE RAIL
FUCK TETRICK AND ANYBODY ELSE THAT THINKS ITS OK TO SIT WITH MY HORSE, WHEN HE SHOULD HAVE BEEN ON THE MOVE

[harnessplop]

Who fkin cares

[PIGLAND]

the fastest 1/4 should never be the last if its a race

[Bernie Madoff]

the fastest 1/4 should never be the last if its a race

Because ?

[bond]

the fastest 1/4 should never be the last if its a race

Spot on 

Because--if horses are allowed to dawdle during a race-of course they will fly home--means that other drivers/horses didnt make moves-and if repeated often enough it makes the races total rubbish to watch..
watch TBRED races??--they nearly always come home slower because they RACE--do not dawdle around. Even have "rabbits" to make sure the pace is on from the getgo.
no Indian file racing there.

[The Exporter]

When handicapping, don't we all weigh heavily on the horse with the fastest last 1/4? Of course position and other factors may bolster or distract from this last 1/4 as skewed number. But, I often had success in factoring the final 1/4.

[Fatboy]

Some experts will tell you T-breds break down more than S-breds because they are spent by the stretch where as S-breds are still fresh at the wire. I'm not sure but it is possible.

AND SOME EXPERTS WILL TELL YOU IT IS THE GAIT AND BREEDING THAT BREAKS TBS DOWN VS STANDARDBREDS.
WE RACE 3-4 TIMES A MONTH VS A TB ALSO
