Harness Racing / Re: Maine
« Last post by dougie on Today at 09:49:04 AM »
While Maine has a storied history in harness racing, most horses race for little money. Outside of the Maine Sire Stakes, it's got to be a tough "road to hoe" for any owner to make money. And with pools so small, it's not easy to make a "betting coup" at the windows. We have heard rumors for years that we'll see a "new spanking" track off the Saco Exit one day, but that will never happen. First it was investors from Boston. Next it was a group out of NYC. Then some local business folk were working on it. Nothing ever came of it. So we have Bangor. Which is ok. Then a rundown dump at the Cumberland Fairgrounds. And finally.....fair racing coming up fast. The fairs are fun at least. Over priced food. Lot's of exhibits. Free tastings of maple syrup, jams and jellies, and homemade chocolate. And lots of racing before packed old wooded stands for us to watch. But despite it all.....I love living in Maine.

Harness Racing / Re: Is this also a USTA rule?

I really think they are good at record keeping though thats it. No replacement for that. I just feel they really do not help the horsemen in any other ways.

In my opinion the USTA does nothing for horsemen but keep records and for that they get a fee. They are useless in any other capacity. Also they do not hire officials like judges, the states do. They also have selective standards on who they take care of or dont. I am glad they were fair with you.
I hear what you're saying but they've always been fair with me. What would you suggest in place of the USTA? I think they've done a lot of great things for the business especially regarding the papers years ago you had grabbed the horses papers to bring them to another track. I know a lot of the judges are juiced in because of politics and who they know nepotism.

The USTA has always been a great sanctioning body for harness racing. They are very selective with their officials doing a great job in my opinion they've always been fair with me.
