Harness Racing / Re: Is harness racing thriving?« Last post by Ignorance Is Bliss on Today at 09:47:14 AM »Could be in part to many other options cancelled for weather. Their betting product isn’t great. And no, all signs point to harness racing to be trending down. You can’t ignore the economic indicators posted on USTA’s own site. As you mention, the answer is in the current numbers. Handle per race up, total handle down and race days down compared to last year. They're picking up everyone else's crumbs until the weather losses are past. Some people are too ignorant to understand. It's like the store that gets no business until their competition gets hit by a tornado. ![]() 13

Harness Racing / Re: Amazing Catch« Last post by Harness racer on Today at 09:40:24 AM »Horse could really trot. Not sure what his issue is now. Something is definitely wrong. Maybe Ake cooked him. I’d love to see him get back to form. That division could definitely use more top level horses. to have a horse you’d like to breed in a 15k claiming optional as just 5yo is embarrassing. But if it is in fact baby steps back to his old form, that would be good for the sport.

Harness Racing / Is harness racing thriving?« Last post by Pacer 2 on Today at 09:30:33 AM »Washington, PA — Despite cooler winter weather, the betting windows at Hollywood Casino at The Meadows have been heating up, with pari-mutuel handle topping $3 million in a three-card span.
Saturday’s (Jan. 24) card saw more than $950,000 wagered on 13 races, while Wednesday’s (Jan. 28) 13-race card totaled $1,098,011 in handle, one of the highest non-stakes cards in track history. Thursday’s (Jan. 29) 12 races ended with over $987,000 in the pools. “I can’t thank our bettors enough,” said Michael Carter, director of racing. “They have really been supportive of our races so far in 2026. It’s been a total team effort, and none of it could be done without the support of our horse owners, trainers and drivers. Winter weather has been a little rough this year, but they’ve been filling the entry box and helping us to offer some quality races for the bettors.” 18

is a positive sign. Speaking of talking shit, I'm rooting for the horse and connections since there seems to be everyone against them. Bad buy? Seems like definitely yes but horse is only 5. 20

Everyone is a member with the same goal of getting as much ass as possible, before the dollars run out. |
