The Guru reads Plop. May even post from time to time.
Horseplop: We Report , You decide
Guerfin right about one thing. Part of reason big m has better handle than other tracks is more credibility with bettors. I only bet big m regularly and mohawk occasionally. Almost never touch other tracks.Imho, big m has less of a problem with dopers than other tracks. Yonkers, poconos, etc. are unbettable. Also, gural keeps some of the worst cheats out.Why do gamblers care about doping? Not only because its unethical to drug innocent animals, but from a handicapping perspective because its unpredictable. No one knows for certain if a horse has been given red acid. That's a huge "if". Most regular horseplayers can pick out horses on a card that have high octane though. These horses do things other animals can't do in the same condition. Endurance is key indicator. A horse pressured a long way that suddenly has more gas in the stretch is likely juiced. Especially the non st akes horses- they just don't perform like that.Harness already has reputation with bettors as being most crooked of gambling options. Big m seen by many as least crooked of harness tracks.Mohawk does better job with dopers than poconos Yonkers etc but imho drivers at that track amongst most untrustworthy. Just the view of one long long time gambler.
My buddy sent me his column today..Although he doesn't mention it by name I'm assuming he really dislikes Plop..Why would that be ?
Very accurate view, totally agree! I think he was quite clear (and correct) about what he doesn't like............. .. "rumor, innuendo and horrible bigotry"

WE like it when he brags during half the column, as the reader hopes for a crumb of some sort. More tales of dead trotters and food nobodys gonna eat as well. I'm one of the "worst" posters on here for stirring up shit. Ask me if I care!!!!. I walked around in colors all day myself at one time. Was hot as fuck, and I felt like a clown Be proud of who you are Ronnie. We know who you are.
