MANY ON HERE WANT HARNESS TO FAIL

[LUCPARK]

Why?

[PIGLAND]

no we just want the cheats cauggt

[mwins]

Most of the guys here have tried, and failed, to be part of the game. They seem bitter.
They continually call for an end to harness racing. They mask it as wanting the cheaters out, but they are really just pissed that they couldn't cut it. On here every day yelling about how bad racing is, how many cheaters there are, etc.

News flash: There are cheaters in all sports.

Mainly just bustouts who could never make it in the sport.

All the gamblers I knew in the 70's never whined about the cheating and fixing as long as someone shared with them who was dead in the race

There are some who have nothing good to say about anything.  Probably deliberately trying to stir the pot.

no we just want the cheats caught

on the Friday report of violations  -  there are plenty cheaters getting caught.  Problem is the appeals send 'em right back onto the track w/ zero punishment.

Don’t want it to fail, just want my tax dollars from casinos used for better purposes, not handouts to racing.  Make it on their own feet.....too much money going to to few unworthy recipients....... jmo

Iceman,
You are right on ! I too was a very small owner for many many years and followed the rules. No drugs. After seeing what was going on more and more I said no more. Remember going over to Yonkers one night with our horse and seeing a few trailers pulled over before the George Washington Bridge. I asked my trainer what was going on. He sadly told me they were timing their their doping and shaking  so as to not get caught. I remember asking him if we had any chance of winning and he said yes but the odds were not in our favor. That was about it for me. Good hay and oats does not cut it any more. I miss the game but not how it is being played.
Good post Iceman!
