Yes...without Jeff we would be racing The Hambo

in Hicks County, Kentucky


with all the bumpkins wagering their $2


e.g. Red Mile...


Real Racing has always been in the US northeast

and Canada...after the Hambo left the Midwest.


Kentucky racing is great for a week or 2 in the fall..

other than that...its all Tbreds..

Harness Racing is virtually non existent other than that..

No players follow the racing from a gambling standpoint.

Monticello does way more $ wise..

Without the casino there is 0.00 racing in Kentucky.

I remember going to the Red Mile...a gorgeous track..

and I bet $200 on a 4-1 shot at 1 minute to post

and the next flash the horse was 2-5.....

and lost.

Look at the betting pools....0 interest..

Maybe I am wrong....

Not saying that the drivers or trainers are not worthy..

just overall mediocre racing save for a few Sire Stakes

and maybe an Open Pace and Trot.

Too bad "G" can't put himself on IGGY.
 

its almost lunch time. wonder who he will have lunch with today 

Not only 1:46:1 but parked to the 1/4 and

the final kick in the arse...


home in 26:1

This guy could have gone another mile in 46:1

after he finished the first mile.


and if u believe this I have a Bridge in Brooklyn to sell

you at an excellent price.

not saying the horse isnt fast but 46:1?

faster than Beau, Mamba, Brandon, and other the other

speed freaks...that raced that day...

Park Avenue Joe and Probe dead-heated and the owners of Probe (the Antonacci family) filed a lawsuit. The urban myth, rumor, BS is that it was about the dead-heat photo. The fact is it was about who was declared the winner and the purse distribution.

that would be incorrect

a judge ruled it a dead heat as did the Hambletonian Society but the owners of Park Avenue Joe were awarded first place purse money because of the summary results

Park Avenue Joe( 2-1-1 dh) as opposed to Probe(1-9-1 dh)

there was no controversy involving the photo

it was bothering me that I could not remember so I looked it up last night

TT. sits in....and moves out and engages Dunn

in the straight he wins a neck or more..

He lost ground by pulling early..

Watch the race from the 3/4 on.....


TT pulled earlier and lost ...well lets say more than an inch

around that turn by going wide..

thats why drivers try to go inside a pylon..

shortest point between 2 points is a straight line..

not a curve


watch the race from 3/4 on and u will see he moved

earlier than he had to
