Who won the FIRST harness race at Arlington Park?

Good. I think that's a good thing. Why? Ask him. Look at various classes and you'll see purses that are higher elsewhere. Does he keep a stable/race regularly in Toronto? He'll race where they can make money. Racing at the Meadowlands is still not easy. Higher level of compliance in my mind. His operation is so big it gives him a ton of flexibility, opportunities, etc. Plus, he can also race a 20k claimer for 10k and get away with more often than most, and he's got X more to back that one up.

While he has the most starts for any trainer @ the Meadowlands, slightly more than double the starts of trainers 2 thru 5.
Over the last year he averages about 6 entries per card.

Their purses are a fucking joke  11.wj

Crook or not, he's tactical, you have to pay your dues with Gural and other than stakes he has horses that would prefer the mile.

As far as right and wrong, the auctions terms and conditions will apply. It's an estoppel. Maybe something that happened during the auction will void/supersede that. Maybe. But I do know one thing---nobody here knows that, nor does anyone know exactly what happened. Like a$$holes, everyone has an opinion. Me, I think the auction company made a mistake and tried to cover it. That might be where they have their problem. Who knows.

As far as the plaintiff, Marty Granoff is one of the most liked, well-respected, and class individuals in the sport and business. He's been in this business for over 40 years, and has been a long time partner with both George Segal and Ted Gewertz. I am sure plenty of hecklers here will have a problem with who he has used as a trainer, but what else is new, LOL.

I was never impressed with him in Jersey but since his move to Saratoga the kid has excelled. I will say Saratoga colony is weaker than it was back in the hay day of Saratoga racing.  The good old days of

The auctioneer made a mistake in not recognizing the reserve immediately but there was a reserve put on the horse by its owner. The owner has right to sell his horse at what he thinks it worth not what the buyer is willing to pay.Reserves are common in all auctions. Buyers need to be aware that going to the auction that there could be a reserve on a horse they are bidding on. Buyer beware.

At a AUCTION the seller has ONE BID !!!  BUT in the disclosures it states they can bid so it becomes a show and sale. The easiest way to get around this is to have someone sign for the seller if they bid the horse in.  In that   The easiest is to give the auctioneer a reserve and the auctioneer takes air bids.  Sometimes he or the other bidder backs out or they announce 2 people in at same Price..  If they are bidding for themselves it is reported as not sold. If the reserve is not attained RNA  is reported.

It also states sellers have a right to put a reserve on that doesn’t have to be disclosed. Also states auctioneer can reopen bidding if there’s a dispute between two bidders. As I stated before the court will have to decide if a reserve put on by the owner is considered a bidder.

Thank YOU VERY VERY VERY Much The Answer...  ngc3

A case in court already, you have now stated the court will have to decide! 

What would we do without your impeccable wisdom here?   ngc3
