Harness Racing / Re: can MAMBA defeat JANGLES?

« Last post by Mohawk mac on May 31, 2026, 11:09:27 PM »

I've seen all of Beau's races including his 2026 qualifiers. Watched Brandon last night. Watched Mamba's 2026 races 3 or 4 times.

While we all know anything can and often does happen in a horse race, IMHO BJ is clearly the best of the three barring unforeseen circumtances. He doesn't need a good trip, just not a horribly troubled one.

Horse claimed by a trainer from himself on behalf of new owners.

7th race Sunday 5-31 7th race.
STICKEMINLETHIMGO trainer Gerard Demers owner Marie Soleil Fontaine,Freelton,ON

Horse runs off and hides at 6-5. After the race the graphic shows the horse was claimed by 3 owners. Trainer Gerard Demers

I wonder if the graphic was in error?

Only the #5 horse was claimed out of that race.

R7 – #5 Makemealegend (1) – $20,000 – Ow. Mario Villani, Varinder Gill, Michele Letarte,
Tr. Gerard Demers (horse cleared post-race observation).

If I was Harris I would have wanted Bartlett to be a be easier on the horse knowing he was going to race 3x in 3 weeks. Not a huge Bartlett fan - too much point and go for my liking but definitely works for him

Agree on both

Agreed - the horse is going to come back to Ohio at some point for the Super Final at least so why not find a trainer with a Meadowlands outfit and then give him back to Ronnie. Lorentzon is middle of the road in Ohio and that’s your go to.

Harness Racing / Our Perfect Aim

« Last post by thewizardofwords on May 31, 2026, 10:38:18 PM »

Christie Noble ponied up $5,100 for Our Perfect Aim. The 4-year-old gelding was hesitant upon reaching the gate from the 7-hole, rough 4x before finally breaking near the ¾ pole and finishing up the track. The horse last raced on April 20. You would think they would have qualified him or taken it easy after that layoff. Not sure what her interest was in the horse. Looks like a $10k claimer at best.

Whose day was it to look after Donnie?

Lets see! It's Sunday-a religious holiday.

JD Vance is in the proverbial Trump "dog house"

Can anyone see Melania doing this?

Bet they have to trick him to get in the car to go to Walter Reed the way you trick a dog when going to the vet. Cmon Donnie, we're going to McDonalds.
