I do think BB can win if they go a half in something crazy like 52 and change.  He will zoom right on by.  My official prediction is OOMM, BB, BJ  race goes 147.4

It's a really long day from sun-up to sundown. I think they have an organized breakfast for fans looking to watch the workouts. A  friend told me you might pick up a 'tidbit or two" trying to eavesdrop on a trainer or owner. LOL! He overheard Nick Zito years back chatting about a horse getting ready for his first race the last week at the Spa. He paid double digits and he caught it good.

Their organized breakfast consisted of alcohol. I'm not much of a T-bred fan, more harness, but since I was invited and had never been there it was a no brainer to go. I actually ran into Donna Brothers in the grandstand one day and got a picture taken with her, she was very nice, probably because I was polite.

I have been to all the Maine fairs too! Fryeburg is probably the most popular. Even though it closes out the Fair season as they wind up racing at Cumberland through December. This state had many tracks at one time. Some great horseman have came from here. But the industry is in tough shape here. We go to support the sport here. But it's like spitting into a hurricane.

Fryeburg is classic Fall foliage time.. I loved Union and Presque Isle ( great northen fair)  Both shut down.

Big a race 3   p5  3/4/246/46/46

Potatoes,

Why so fucking lame?

You post about me at midnight. And at 6:00 AM

Remarkable.

Calhoun has you at very high pigeon status. You live for me.

It's just sad your such a Simp and a Feeb.

On the other hand, I'm blessed to have you as a good punching bag.

Yeh, a phantom punch from a mouse.

Nah, a mouse is actual something.

You're nothing.

Our hotel was about 1.5 miles from the track, my friend and a friend of his went there around 8:00 AM for workouts and stayed all day, I couldn't handle that. Our hotel had a shuttle which I took, it's about 1.5 miles away and you drive right past the harness track on the way.

I was never there. But I heard it was in a nice area. I miss heading to Suffok Downs and Rockingham Park. We have some fun fairs in Maine, but it's all harness racing. I think throughbred racing is finished in New England.

  • dougie: IIB, I think the mayor will sign the bill if it reaches his desk. The optics on this issue is bad for the horse carriage industry. Animal activists are adept to using the media to enlist horror and anger by the public.

  • Ignorance Is Bliss: It's now a bill with city council. Public hearings will be scheduled then the council votes on it. If passed it's sent to the Mayor to sign into law. He has already said he's in. Marte just took over, Bob Holden is the actual author of the bill who retired last year.

  • dougie: IIB, I have been reading some of the work Councilman Marte has been doing on this issue. I think he might be successful with passing the 'Ryders Law" Bill this time around. The image of the horse dead on the street has even been seen here everywhere. If the animal activists can get this on the ballot, who knows how the vote will go.
