I feel sorry for you.......

I've been to a couple. It a nice way to reconnect with harness friends/acquaintances, like Hambo Day @ M1
And now that I'm retired, I thought that I'd be a lock to go.
But..... Saturday is a non-starter for my tribe.....
I doubt George Morton Levy would have scheduled the International at Roosevelt on that day if the situation/conflict arose...
Who do I see about that?

Let's talk harness racing. This is what you will get.
#1 Burke is a chemist, scumbag, and fat.
#2 Yonkers fixes the draws and restricts who could race.
#3 Gural chooses which cheats race at his track.
#4 Ford hired a cheating trainer and pretended not to know.
#5 Faraldo used a trainer that got arrested. 
#6 The sport is dead and supported by the slots.
#7 CAWs make it impossible for the average bettors.
#8 Many races looked fixed and at best lack of driver effort.
#9 The big stables have ruined the game.
#10 ETC...ETC...ETC !
Sadly most or all of it is true.
