Nothing worse than firing up a track to settle in for a night of gambling and it's some backup and not the regular guy. I remember the last time at Yonkers that Horne filled in (maybe a few years ago) I screamed when I first heard his voice and it literally ruined my evening. Needless to say I lost LOL.

Roger filled in at Northfield recently...honest ly aside from losing his voice a bit he wasn't bad.

As far as the dogs are concerned only West Virginia is running. Two tracks, Wheeling Downs and Tri-State, both owned by Delaware North.  They have about 3 years to go and then the puppies will be all done. Once New England and Florida closed shop, the game was basically over. 
As a cautionary tale, the horse racing industry (both harness and flats) should take notice of how an industry lost its focus and public support thus ending the industry.

I actually went to Wheeling Downs for harness racing on a snowy night in 1970.
