Sadly they are still the best. And you are entitled to your opinion on the condition sheet. Shows the overall state of harness racing. They get very little of my money anymore, but that goes for harness in general. Tbreds give you way more bang for your buck! But my heart will always be with harness racing. Yes I am aware of how gay that sounds!
M1 brings a warm and fuzzy feeling from the 80s and 90s for a lot of old folks--but two days a week racing with only 6 weeks a year relevant hardly makes them "the best"
before simulcasting really existed----the state of NJ had "intra-state" simulcastingwhen i first received my drivers license in 1983--i would drive to the Atlantic City race course for M1 simulcastingafter the races-the casinos were only 15 minutes away and i would play craps at The Golden Nugget all night when Steve Wynn was running the show--back then it wasnt gambling 24 hours a day-they closed at 4AMsteak and eggs around 4:15am then i drove home 40 minutes when the sun was just risingthose were the days
Looking thru, I also have one from Aug.28 1993 .There was just one simulcast that night.$432k Cane from Yonkers.Riyadh 1st [two hole], Presidential Ball 2nd [post nine], Life Sign 3rd [post eleven]Ready To Rumble 4th [post 7] Riyadh, Ready To Rumble + Presidential Ball coupled. On the Scioto cardwas $27k aged Ohio Sire Stakes [Majestic Osborne - Joe Adamsky] + $10k Invite with Shady Daisy [Fout]Only five horse field with Deadlock [Chip Noble] Cambridge [Purple Jesus] Fun to look at once in a blue moon.
JT I thought I had it and I do. The Scioto program with the simulcast races. There were actuallytwo races. The other was $100k NJ Stake final with Hot Lead. It's marked up [the program] so notworth shit except to me.
