Another Horrible Display

Brown Jug ,,,,,,,,,,,,,, I do not want racing to go away but that word you used  called racing is what i want as they rarely race in a way that makes it look like a sport,,,,,,,,,,   When i was a kid there was 1 -3 superstars every year and these horses were trained by KOPAS AND JOHN HAYES JR AND DOUG ARTHUR ,,STEW FIRLOTE and then you had the claiming horses and we no longer bet horses as most regulars looked to see the c word beside a horse and if he was claimed by a high percentage trainer the odds would reflect that but unlike today they did not line up chalk with chalk every race and many of these chalks got beat because they raced,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, Today they do not race and the claiming trainers ousted the real grow up on the farm trainers and today horses do not start off very green and some are ready right away to break track records,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, It is not a hate for the game to not accept this sport the way it runs today and if you are happy with the state of the game i would say you are not a true fan.....

Poker was huge 100 years ago and then it was not popular for 80 years and the biggest event the world series of poker had 9 people the year AMARILLO SLIM won the WSOP and then some really good people took control and these PEOPLE ALL gambled and understood what the game needed unlike horse racing that has nitwits running the show,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, pOKER shows showed the people it was a game of skill and pocket aces being the best hand would not be a winning hand for a poor player and the young people found this interesting and exciting,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Not sure what you're getting at but there were 12 when Slim won and the only thing it did was put him on Carson a lot of times. It took 30 years for Poker to become popular as a TV show and young people to get involved. Today if you don't live in one of a half dozen states you can't even play from home anymore

Tonight WEG has its biggest card of the year and they will race and management will talk about the great job when the truth is 500000 purses will bring in the best and lets hope the track is not a huge speed biased track.. If so it will be a boring night,,,,,,,,,,,

I suppose the Kentucky Derby or Preakness or Belmont should be moved around every year as well Brilliant idea. LoL

Wait are you comparing the lbj to the triple crown races??

99% of the U.S. doesn't even know the little brown jug exists...the other 1% think it's the Um vs Minn football game trophy. Be realistic.

The LBJ is a triple crown race as I'm sure you know, and of course no harness race compares to the thoroughbred triple crown races. I've always said a way to promote the sport of harness racing is to emphasize and promote the three triple crown races for each gait.. just like the thoroughbreds do with the big 3.How many people that watch the derby make sure and tune in to the Travers at Saratoga in August?

Once again, another so called landmark race for Harness Racing is a snooze fest. The bigger joke is that they race one of Harness Racing's marquis events on a THURSDAY FUCKING AFTERNOON.  I heard the 2026 Super Bowl is being played on a Tuesday at 11AM and The Kentucky Derby is being moved to the third Monday in May with a post time of 1:30PM

I agree! This race should’ve been contested at a premier track on a Saturday night and promoted correctly! The Pennsylvania Derby with seize the gray was promoted for weeks. I couldn’t wait for the race they should take a page from the thoroughbred industry perhaps.

ok arnold
please suggest the track and date, its a more complicated schedule than tbreds based on more frequent racing

how different would it be from the meadowlands pace and other races currently raced on saturday night
i will agree that the harness triple crown is a joke  and needs to be disbanded or improved on greatly

It needs major upgrades. The Messenger field was a joke and the cane had I think 5 entries. I used to like some of Arnold's posts.. but he's on a different thread sticking up for the Bongiorno crime family so that lost all credibility of him for me.

Well how about a Saturday night at the Meadowlands.  Well publicized in the media and on billboards in the local area.

Maybe I'm just naïve you guys could be right I just know they as a family treated me.

Hope they treated you better than their horses.
