THE TRUE REASON WHY PEOPLE STOPPED BETTING HARNESS RACING WAS THAT YOU NEVER KNEW WHEN THEY WERE GOING TO TRY.
PURSES WERE SMALL, BETTING POOLS WERE MUCH LARGER, SO , WHY NOT? HOLD BACK A COUPLE OF WEEKS, GET YOUR HORSE FIT AND CLASSIFIED THEN THE SET UP PREP RACE, WHERE YOU PARKED, AND FINISHED WAY BACK.
THEN YOU BUMPED THE HORSE UP IN CLASS FOR THE SCORE, THE BILL PAYER SPECIAL WE CALLED IT. HOPEFULLY DRAW AN OUTSIDE POST, TO INCREASE THE ODDS, HAVE THE WIFE MAKE THE WAGER AND DOWN THE ROAD YOUD GO
SO AFTER READING TODAYS CONFESSION THAT SOMEONE OFFERED DRIVERS MONEY TO HOLD BACK THEIR HORSES, WE AXE THIS QUESTION.... WHO WERE SOME OF THE BEST?
IN MICHIGAN, IT WAS ART, DONNIE HARMON, KIM PLUTA AND
DONNIE HAD A HORSE, A GOOD ONE, UPPER LEVEL CONDITIONED HORSE HE PAID HIS BILLS WITH, WHAT GAVE IT AWAY? WHEN THE HORSE CHANGED HANDS AND LOU PENA GOT IT, IT IMMEDIATELY BECAME AN INVITE HORSE, TELLING ME THAT DONNIE WAS USING THE OLD RATHER WIN ONE CROOKED THAN TWO STRAIGHT ROUTINE
THESE GUYS WERE ARTISTS NOT CROOKS, WHO WERE SOME OF THE BEST, NOT JUST THE HERPES FILION TYPES BUT THE ONES UNDER THE RADAR SO TO SPEAK?
