You talk like these are common names. Devitis according to the Usta only won 900 races lifetime . Branstatter 103 . Obviously were only gamblers posing as drivers back in your day .
Mike. if they are all crooks and thieves as many on this site say, how is he any worse or better than all the other supposed trainers? Maybe some are better at "drugging " their horses and hiding it than others. I don't suscribe that all trainers and drivers are dishonest. But many on this site do.
I believe you Mike. But the way many on this site talk, you'd think a person would be hard pressed to find a honest trainer or owner in harness racing. As for Peter Brandstattter, I only knew him from his days sitting in the clubhouse at Scarbourgh Downs.

Firstly, there are mostly gamblers here. They don't know what is really going on behind the scenes. If you are looking to own one, I suggest you find a gas n go trainer because hay and oats will make you broke real fast. Secondly, by the time you saw Grape in Maine, he was already a convicted criminal several times.
so I guess Pelling, Crogan, Burk most your top trainers have never had any possessions or paraphernalia. I think there are MANY trainers guilty of the same act.
Arnold you sound like family of his or his boyfriend. You got the Pom poms out for this dude . WTF bro . Dudes a confessed horse abuser . Nuff said
