Leamington Raceway race 5 trot oct 15 Hamlin hijincks

[Jctoronto]

Ladies and gents..r5 trot just completed oct 15.
*Certainly questionable action*
FULLY EXPECT judges or racing commission to come down on HAMLIN FAMILY HIJINCKS heading for final turn as #4 Anthony ALLOWED #5 Michael to pass through on inside...they finished 1-2 #s 5-4 keeping #6 at bay.  ORC ALLOWING NEEDLESS PASSING ON INSIDE surely to be discussed.

replay will share the tale....over to you commission.

Jct..how the heck do you wind up following what happened at a track I never heard of? I have been a fan for over 55 years and it took your post to introduce a new fair track to me. Can you actually watch a race from this joint?

Greenhouse capital of Canada. They race about a dozen Sunday afternoons and are available on HPI. They call if a half mile but I don't think it is. They appear to start mid stretch with the half mile marker half way between the start and finish.

I was there & it sure stunk, but then again - they're local boys racing at Ontario's lowest-level track.

PASSING NEEDLESSLY ON THE INSIDE HAS BEEN A FOCUS OF MOHAWK. NEEDS TO BE FOCUS OF ALL ONTARIO TRACKS AND BEYOND. I HAVE NOTHING AGAINST HAMLIN FATHER SON. All I ask, all any of us ask..if youre gonna beat me out of my money, make sure your move(s) are defendable in front of judges or commission. And this time, on a half mile with no passing lane available, about to enter final turn , a fine or even suspension warranted.

TWO RECENT EXAMPLES OF NEEDLESS RAIL OPENING UP
1)  James Macdonald $200 lighter after friday night oct 13 race 1 'rail fadeaway' in the stretch..the headon replay the giveaway. https://youtu.be/IOTzEOIpjdA?si=q3z7fnXjULEhzv5S

2)  Austin Sorrie SHOULDVE got something for this at Western Fair a couple weeks ago..tue oct 3 race 6 trot. BLATANT leaving rail at the top of stretch with 'Wrap and a Hooey' allowing Brett Mcdonald and favorite 'Marvin Hagler' to come on through. Even if 'tiring', you would never leave a hole for a pocketed horse that big. WF, another track with non forgiving tight half mile and no passing lane. Again, Sorrie escaped from this one.

GOT NEWS GUYS AND GIRLS..IF YOURE 'NOT OUT AND MOVING' OR FINDING LOGICAL SPACE TO 'ESCAPE YOUR PREDICAMENT', THEN YOU'RE STUCK. EXPLAIN IT TO YOUR OWNER AFTER THE FAILED RACE.

ITS HARNESS' MOST OBVIOUS TV SCREEN FOUL. STOP IT.

Happens all the time but only occasionally enforced

[gogasgoboom]

First time I've seen it occur on the backstretch.

[ferdinand the bull]

It's happened before, Steward a couple weeks ago and House a few times if his buddy Clements is behind him

[Watchandtell]

The total pool of all types of bets was $5800....  Who cares?

Did you see this athlete of a driving gentleman on the 5!~~??  . I don't think they are capable of fixing much.

[Jctoronto]

Slapped down on the backstretch..THAT you have to admire.  200 please boys.

And that ridiculous small handle excuse. Please stop it.

When youre on the track, rules are clear.
You break 'em...you pay.

**Ask our old friend Dolores Basilone. Never stepped foot on another live Canadian track again after the same Leamington 'authorities' rang her up for 'urine sample dodging' after a tight 2nd with Magics Lucky Charm in their feature trot race a couple summers ago. Eric Wilson took her horses after she was quietly but summarily shown the Ontario door.

p.s. #1  a lift from an August 2020 Leamington race program trainer column: 
Basilone, Dolores D             2,3,5,6,8
Bourgault, Frederick            1,8,9,10
double gone and a double yikes.

p.s. #2. further down the column, on the driver side, in southwestern Ontario for the Prospect Series that same 2020 August sunday aft., the Blue Bonnets Montreal vet:
Gendron, Gilles                 7
