Lack of effort drive

Meadowlands Saturday night race 9 deuce Hanover was going to be 2nd Jason Bartlett grabs him and yanks him back to 5th…. Your opinion

[Birdfantammy]

Saw that.  Typical Bartlett stiff job.  Must've had a tri and super bet that race.  This sport has become so corrupt it's sad.

[Cleanupindustry]

Yes. Everyone should watch this races last 50 feet and give your opinion. The judges are so clueless  I would give him a stiff fine and 2 weeks vacation from driving

Im a big Bartlett fan.  He loves to win.  This ill admit doesnt look good.  Definitely deserves to have the phone ringing in the paddock office with an explanation as to what happened?

Before Jason flipped to the dark side he would beat himself up for losing the one race he got beat on a night he won 8. I knew two years ago something happened when he started asking that I back off his "friends" or who I call dirtbags in the game. I have never seen him grab one like that in the last 1/16th for any reason. Ripped is the more appropriate term. He doesn't bet. But I also know he can't handle being pressured by people either. And I hope he was smart enough to take my advice and stop leaving bankrolls in the console of his car. You all figure it out from there.

wow, thats a pretty bad look.
whatever punishment gets meted out will be a fraction of what a no-name guy would have gotten..
can't have our stars/future HOF'ers getting called out too loudly..
its "bad for business"..

For a guy who flipped to the dark side as you say, he does pretty well for himself and makes lots of money.

Thank you for verifying what I just said. Yep, for flipping to the dark side he's never made more money. DUHH.  I repeat, and I did turn this over to Settlemoir and Cote who didn't do shit with it. Bartlett asked or should I say suggested TWICE that I go down as trainer for Josh Marks "he'll never hurt you Petrelli". Then even suggested my wife who has her license do it. All right before they took in Gareth Dowse. Dowse gets banned from Yonkers and out of nowhere comes Engblom with a barn for of pacers and same backing. Who's their contract driver? You guessed it. And why does Bartlett approach other trainers trying to buy horses for Engblom's owners? I'll stop there. You can all kiss their asses, not me. Oh and why did Bartlett call me asking I take down the picture of Marks in Fords barn holding tubes, pail and funnel telling me he's really trying to clean himself up? And why did he ask me to be nice to Banca if I went to his sentencing?? That he was taking his kid to cross fit for him? Same cross fit joint he was sending a NYS Trooper friend from to visit me and "teach me a lesson". And asked that I back off Ford because his wife is a "sweetheart". Go right ahead and defend him.

I agree.  They will probably give him a day or two and there will be no mention of it.  Not the first time.  I sent an email to USTA with screenshots.  He should be handed a week minimum.  It was clear as day on the camera with him pulling back the reins as the horse was making progress and would have easily got 2nd in that race.  He made sure to get out of top 4.

It was disgusting and this needs to stop!

I am in no way defending his actions, but if you wanted to make sure you're not in the top 4, why get that close in the first place?

[Harness Racing Revolution]

The more you watch the worse it looks. NJRC better intervene. And M1 cries about handle, keep supporting this shit. https://youtu.be/j3FaEJ01XrU

Explain that to a state investigator.

Horse seemed steppy in upper stretch, and was running in. But I still can’t defend what I saw.

[Scooteroo]

If the Meadowlands doesn't at least call him in about it to hear what excuse he comes up with, it's an embarrassment to them who preach integrity.

[Locked in with pace]

Watch for any fines posted on the USTA next Friday.  I predict no fine. The horse looked like he was running in when he was passed late on the inside by another horse..
