Harness Racing / The REAL TRUTH ABOUT YONKERS
« Last post by BrokenHeadPole on Today at 06:01:59 AM »
Does anyone know what a monthly training bill is at Yonkers if given to one of the trainers there? Was told it's far more expensive to race there>  with daily rate, shipping, tolls, stall rent, vets, etc. etc

Money is great, but what does a horse need to make a year for an owner to make a profit?

jogging for deters for sure---training, i'll find out.
I remember when Mike Deters was a kid! LOL! Mickey has to be in his mid-70's. It kinda interesting that Wally is "coming back". I mean he's made over 83 million in purse money.  I'd hate to see him get hurt. Always a top talent.

Growing up I remember going to "Old Hilltop" when Roosevelt wasn't racing. What a horrible ugly place it was. I haven't seen it since they put the casino there so I gotta assume it's look a lot better now. I'm glad they are doing well there.

Bangor is much more fan and horsemen friendly and a much nicer track.  No portajohns and a much nicer betting area than Cumberland.
I agree. Bangor is a much nicer track. I'm about 40 miles from Cumby and about 175 from Bangor. I've been to them both. I like Bangor better.

Harness Racing / Re: The Mike Petrelli Show - Plopsters Live 7:30PM Tonight!
« Last post by dougie on March 25, 2026, 11:50:27 PM »
Tonight I listened to the podcast between Mike P and Trigger online. I wasn't looking for anything spectacular or groundbreaking. What I did see and hear was that Mike P is unapologetic about his work trying to expose bad actors within the harness racing industry and save as many horses as he could. Whether thay are attached to a sulky or dragging around well heeled tourists through Central Park, I know Mike P's efforts are sincere. There is little doubt he knows more about certain "plopsters" than I will ever know. In that regard, i'm very lucky. LOL! The fact that he does not "dox" people he obviously knows shows he is not vindictive. The "talk" was good. I think when you have people actually discuss matters, you understand where they are coming from.

You and I both have similar opinions on many things. I think the banter, at least most of it is harmless. But you have to admit, youv'e got people who seem to know each other personally. I listen but try not to get involved in this personal feuds. I just know on a personal level that I respect what Mike does.

I believe Wally is 'jogging' for Paul Kelly down here as he has 1 or 2 in his barn while Mickey is 'jogging' for Mike Deters.

I'll be out at Sunshine Meadows Saturday morning.  Maybe I'll say hello to Mickey if I see him.

A few drivers that are lower on the totem pole at Saratoga were hoping he'd stay retired as they all would go up 1 notch in getting better drives.
Is Mickey doing some training too?
