Hambo broadcast

[Lar4400]

Nothing like it in the entire industry.
What a day at the facility for all ages but best for harness racing enthusiasts.
The broadcast all afternoon is worthy of awards. Great interviews with trainers drivers and owners. Fantastic group of personalities all around the show.
Incredible premium races (all)not a single bad race.
Hambo and Oaks had great story lines regarding its contenders.
Give credit where it’s due, congrats to all that put the full card  broadcast together!

 The show was very good and one reason is the track playing fair on back runners and to be honest the BIG M has mostly been very boring as speed has been the name of the game,,,,,,,, But the all around show is the best in harness racing by a mile,,,,,,,,,,,,,iF you watched GRAND RIVER today ,   They might of had the worst show in Canadian history as the love fest between the two handicappers was sickening it was very unwatchable,,,,,,,,,We need more JEFF GURALS in the game as most of his hires have been very good,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,I find sugar doyle to be just like Roger huston a man that sucks up to the higher ups and the burkes of the world and loves to hear himself,,,,,,,,,,,I cant stand hearing F,,,,,ing people talking to the people in a suck up mode,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,It felt like being in a gay bar today at grand river and the BIG M NEVER puts a show like that,,,,,,,,So i agree congrats to the big m  and lets hope we dont see a WEG style of 26.2  56.1   124.2  150.2 miles with no stress racing and small payoffs,,,,,,,,,,,,I lost a ton of money on hambo day but the racing and show put on was great,

It was well done. No harness track's broadcast comes close to M1's.

I was live, on-track, but we did have the broadcast on the TV and listened to parts of it. I think it was an excellent broadcast. It was informative, engaging, I also like the (Breeders Cup) approach of the live content/background content model. To me, it's educational, inviting, and brings a viewer into the day, the event, etc. I enjoyed it.

The Hambletonian was just OK, but lacking the total excitement it used to have when the race was decided by    heat racing. Heat racing speaks to the core of the sport and allows our Standardbreds to display their grit, determination, endurance, resiliency and downright toughness. But going along with the pussification of our  general society, the Hambletonian race was reduced to a single heat winner by the woke Hambletonian Society.  A true Hambo winner will never be the same when that horse only wins a single heat on Hambo Day.

Same thing for Ky. Futurity. Should name it something else. These winners shouldn't be
 included with the old past champions. Right on the $$ Mr. Wonderful

It is hard or me to believe that anyone liked this coverage at GRAND RIVER as no one made one comment when someone brought up GRAND RIVER as a topic,,,,,,,,,,,   I was real happy when Robby junior got a job as finally someone who gambled finally was in a position to promote and help the sport and i like ROBERT but i call it as i see it and the love fest with a complete phony who loves to hear himself with his stupidity made me sick and when ROBERT watched the waxman horse run like crap and then said he will bounce back off a race like he ran shocked me and he was doing it all day,,,,,,,,,,,,       SUGAR doyle is just a unlikeable ROGER HUSTON clone who sucks up to important people in the industry,     it was poorly done and no one made comment when grand river was  brought up twice,,,,,,,, It is the job of someone who has that job to bring up interesting facts and have people talking the sport and LARRY LEDERMAN did just that and made people smile and we as fans knew he was entertaining us and not management,,,,,,,

You have every right to be pissed. However, it's not just Monticello, it is everywhere at this point. The problem is there is such a horse shortage that these tracks are forced to allow the drug trainers to race at their facility, as they have all the horses. They would have to shut down if they only let honest trainers race. Sad but true. The cheats have won. Their barns are full, as owners continually pull their horses away from honest trainers and move them into drug barns.
