Here in Toronto..piece in today Toronto Sun sports...reporter went backstretch woodbine thoroughbred and heard their frustrations..ope ning day gone and more days like it ahead.

All the horsemen asking: if gulfstream, tbay, oaklawn running to empty buildings but big handle, why not them? Horsemen here indicating theyre running lean training operations and safety measures in full effect.
No doubt Woodbine handle would be sizeable.  Many trainer stable operations, though not all, suffering and in need of racing..things are tight.

Woodbine released no comment except that they are working closely with all levels of government up here waiting for a go ahead....no sign of that yet, toronto still under the covid19 heaviness. (thanks and fuck off communist china govt)

And harness-wise..no real update for action well west of the big city...mohawk (campbellvile- hr west of toronto) grand river (kitchener area) flamboro, western fair - all an hr or two away.  Personally, it looks like these place(s) COULD open, if all safety measures in place..though none of these same building casinos, where people would be on top of each other, are anywhere near ready to get clearance...it may just well be the huge PR nightmare to open up again in community more than anything else.
But if they could, it feels like WEG and others would start the races, and leave all else on their grounds closed.

Notes:

-Queen's Plate knocked out..at least now
-all Ontario OTB locations have been closed since early March...thus horseplayers up here ALL banging their phones and laptops..either hpi or offshore incl playing all tracks that are open to US side.
-and I know you want to know..New York's own Dolores Basilone, hunkered down in these parts up here with her stable waiting for things to re-open...or maybe waiting for u.s.a. border to re-open for return back to new england. stay tuned.

News flash Premier Doug Ford's ratings were in the toilet prior to this Covid-19 now with the way he has handled things in Ontario his ratings are very high. He is not doing things for the ratings, he is doing what is right for the people of the province. When Trump said no exports of 3M N95 masks to Canada Trump forgot or didn't know the Canadian head office for 3M is in London Ontario. Ford told 3M Canada to get out of Ontario unless they were prepared to set up manufacturing in London. 3M they went against Trump's orders and shipped the masks to Ontario and the rest of Canada and 3M is setting up manufacturing in London as of now.
Amazing.

Thnaks.

Bottom line back to the question that was asked about racing dates . Here in New Jersey our numbers in positive cases and deaths continues to increase daily and New York losing close to 800 a day for the past 10 days does anyone think horse racing is on any governors mind at this time? I’ll continue to stick with a September date for the tri state .
Title: Re: Opening Dates??

I'll say it again Feb 1st 2021.

That's the EXACT DATE you are expected to die of natural causes.

Title: Re: Opening Dates??
Post by: jupiter on April 16, 2020, 10:18:39 AM
No way Pa opens mid May, they have been scrapping stakes for the month. Casino employees were told when they let go, Casinos might open maybe some time in June, that doesn´t look realistic i am looking at Sept maybe, remember all you need is one person getting infected and they will close the track and we start all over again. Dont push it, or we will lose more time.

lets be honest, if you cant reopen racing than what the hell can you open, racing easily fits all the safety criteria

yes ford will be the next prime minister

But racing is very important, to who? Us that´s all, no one in american really gives gives a shit. Do a poll in America and ask ¨Who cares if we their is horse racing in America´. The body count keeps going up, suffering continues, and we worry about starting up racing asap, even if it could possibly cause a flash of this virus. If there is a spike, we will be done possibly forever.

Nobody cares about horse racing but the horsemen. There is no way they will have racing, even, though I agree that it could be done safely under the social distancing guidelines,  until they can safely and confidently operate the casinos.  The casinos fund the purse accounts and without the casino revenue,  realistically,  there will be no harness racing.  Period.

Mandarin. With hope Hoosier is trying for early June. Question is how long before casinos open? They are a notch above a cruise line for breeding grounds for a virus. Everything u touch cards, chips, slot handle, dice, is a virus nightmare. I suppose u want to gamble you will have to wear a mask and gloves?

the question that for some reason remains unanswered
how is it that gulfstream and a few other tbred tracks continue to race
gulfstream specifically where a jockey tested positive for covid  3 weeks ago and they did not miss a day
i am not aware of anyone dying connected to gulfstream racing
so it appears that it is possible to run racing without endangering anyones lives
so what are the rest waiting for

40k may have died but a high % had a underlying condition. A week ago it was reported of the 6k that had died in NY just 122 had actually died from the virus itself. All others had some health issues. Seems like obese people have a problem with this virus. When was the last time the country was closed by the government from the poison they put in food additives? Have we shut the country down from any strain of flu virus? Have we shut the country down from  any other disease that has come from the west? 60mln had H1N1. I'm glad the country was closed for 30 days and another 15 to 30. It tapped down on hosiptal care and panic. We now know more about the virus and seems millions have had it but are asymptomatic. That 90% of the population may be asymptomatic. Maybe going forward the country should shelter the ones with the underlying conditions that are at high risk. Then we can go about phases of opening back a 20t economy.

Spoke to a judge in Pa this am, he knows a judge in NY. Says neither of them know what the plan is, but doesn´t think it will before middle of June. He thought we have a shot before the casinos, states need revenue. He thought they would start with a limited number of races, limited people in the paddock, everybody wearing masks maybe even drivers. All of this will come from the Govś office, commissions will have NO say in when they start.

Article in local Albany ny newspaper (Times Union) today indicates a local researcher at RPI (engineering college) is projecting capital district region will peak in co-19 cases btw mid-May and mid -June.

Not sure what that means in terms of Saratoga racecourse and the harness track if true, but wouldn't make me warm and fuzzy if I was counting on them opening sooner rather than later.

Article is "capitol region coronovirus forecast".

The end of the line is coming for harness racing and yet all the whack-a-do's are talking and guessing when it is going to open up again. Actually this virus is keeping at least people here talking about racing but first the 29 have to get dealt with and then you can turn out the lights the party is over as all trust in the game will be in the toilet.

You could be right - BUT, none of the horse racers will know for 10 years anyway.  Still living in the 60s and loving those worn out old calls from the Voice.  They';ll keep showing up going round and round and scratching their heads about why ain't been no checks.     Almost puzzling that the remaining track states haven't blown the siren that cheaters ain't allowed, instead - they figure that they're living in a damned invisible bubble.

I think your reasoning here needs a little Hush insight. With ONLY a few thoroughbred tracks running, and all of that money coming from simulcasting, racing as a whole can learn something. Less tracks, better scheduling of race dates by both breeds would be beneficial to racing. As far as social distancing goes, SIMULCASTING proves it can and does work with a limited schedule. Less = MORE  11.wp 11.wp

Horse racing will be at the tail end of phase 2 so based upon projections no racing in the tri state until September right before wave 2 hits us and shuts everything down again according to the CDC . Going to be a tough year in the horse racing game among many other businesses. People are fearful to catch this monster .

Some numbers are starting to take shape. Real early data suggests  @ 2 percent of population may have had this at this time. The highly  contagious and deadly nature (easily killing 3- 5 percent of ill right now) of co-19 makes me think that it's got a lot of room to take off and quick. 50 percent of population getting this would be 25 x the death and havoc already wrought. Would break hospitals, shut down food supply and kill a heckuva lot more people.

Really need a vaccine to dig out of this mess, though a few quality therapeutics that the ill could take at home would make some economic recovery more feasible.

I'm not sure the public fully appreciates the position world is in here. Could be long-term economic morass for some time. When that happens, politics can take real odd twists and turns. More extreme gvts usually arise out of chaos. American gvt doesn't have $ to keep spending - so things may really start to deteriorate when these initial incentive funds disappear.

The solution is actually very simple.  Any government official who decides to open up any place that's currently closed, the person making that decision must be the first person back for the re-opening.  For example, I want to see Trump or Georgia governor Kemp in a crowded bowling alley, gym, restaurant or theater.  If this was a requirement, I think a lot of them would change their tune very quickly.  Speaking of Trump, here's an untouched photo of the demented pumpkin head taken from the TV this morning:

The solution is actually very simple.  Any government official who decides to open up any place that's currently closed, the person making that decision must be the first person back for the re-opening.  For example, I want to see Trump or Georgia governor Kemp in a crowded bowling alley, gym, restaurant or theater.  If this was a requirement, I think a lot of them would change their tune very quickly.  Speaking of Trump, here's an untouched photo of the demented pumpkin head taken from the TV this morning:         



You are correct. The solution is actually very simple. If a business is open you have a choice not to go there, no body is forcing you to leave your house.

If you want to risk getting the virus (or even possible death) in order to go bowling or watch a movie in a theater, have at it!  Sounds like an excellent risk/reward ratio to me.    ngc3

Or maybe you are one of those people who don't think you will get it.  I'm sure many (most?) of the 927,000 people in the U.S. who have gotten the virus thought the same thing too (not to mention the 52,000 who have died).

This is America land of choice and free will, Im tired of people that think they know whats best for others.

I don't smoke, but that's everyone choice to do so or not, I eat a healthy diet and exercise but many don't and that's their choice.

Both of those choices kill many many more people than this virus will.

Im not saying go back to normal, but I am ready to take steps with masks & gloves & extra sanitizing.

Let me make my choices and you can make yours.

That's what makes America great

Buffalo will have the blessing of the NYS Gaming Commission, as well as the Governor. Buffalo Raceway has 3.2 million in the purse account, and could have 8 races a night, racing for average of $8,000. , and race for 50 nights. The other upstate tracks don't want to raid their existing purse account, or like Vernon really don't have a purse account.

Think we would be open with this person leading the country (PM Ardern)?

New Zealand's top health official said Monday that the country has achieved its goal of eliminating coronavirus as new cases dropped to single digits.

Ashley Bloomfield, New Zealand's director general of health, reported one new case, four "probable cases" and just one new death at a news conference Monday. Bloomfield said the small number of cases gave officials "confidence that we've achieved our goal of elimination."

"And again, that doesn't mean eradication, but it means we get down to a small number of cases so that we are able to stamp out any cases and any outbreak that might come out," he said.

The island nation of nearly 5 million has had 1,472 cases of coronavirus and 19 deaths, according to Johns Hopkins University data.

Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern called the low numbers "incredible" and said the country had currently eliminated coronavirus. She said new cases may continue to appear, but that they could be managed through aggressive contact tracing which the country has scaled up.

Experts: Female world leaders are handling coronavirus crisis 'in a really impressive manner'

"There is no widespread, undetected community transmission in New Zealand. We have won that battle," Ardern said. "But we must remain vigilant if we are to keep it that way."

Ardern praised New Zealanders for adapting to life under the pandemic and extended her sympathies to those who have lost loved ones to COVID-19.

She also announced that the country would be downgrading its lockdown measures from Level 4 to Level 3, which would allow businesses that can operate without face-to-face contact and schools to reopen.

Up to 10 people will be allowed to attend funerals and weddings. New Zealanders are still encouraged to work from home if possible. She said the government would meet again on May 11 to make a decision about moving to Level 2 lockdown.

Ardern has garnered praise for her swift response to the pandemic. She shut down tourism and introduced Level 4 lockdown measures in March during which offices, schools and non-essential services including bars, restaurants, and playgrounds were shuttered.

"It's been nearly five weeks living and working in ways that just two months ago would have been impossible," Ardern said. "But we did. And we have done it together."

Where do you get your information from? I guess you just throw inane bull out there to make people think you know something. I feel I know a little more about this but you really don't. I do know that various states have asked the tracks for their formula on how they will follow the requirements as to keeping social distance and the states orders. At no time was an opening date discussed and based on how states are going to open it would be impossible for anyone to predict when a track will open

I can definitely tell you Nothing is opening on May 1 as the great Gural stated 5 weeks ago . Dumb ass better talk to Andrew Cuomo he’s in control of all 5 states and you can believe schools will open before racetracks and schools have no Ppe plan in place for students or administration. Best racetracks can hope for is late summer or as I have stated repeatedly September 1

Now, you aren’t forced to go to the racetrack. See the difference morons?

Matter of political clout maybe? No reason some of these harness tracks can't race with fans. Only 1-3 people at most tracks. Tracks should agree to have at least 5 masks total on hand to give out in case attendance swells.

Gotta believe Lexington is a slam dunk to race entire meet (maybe without fans) unless things were to move backwards virus wise. Nice track too. Would get some of my play absent sports.

Given the current global situation, a recent article that has appeared on the website of the Federal News Network has characterized Sweden's racing as a 'saviour' for the country's participants, the wagering companies, and their customers, alike.
The races are being contested, but without fans and with strict social distancing measures in place, which has been the norm for all tracks that have been operating throughout the current coronavirus situation.
Although Sweden's racing organizations are not operating to take advantage of the global crisis, handicappers are watching the product being presented, and they are, in turn, firing away at the product. ATG chief executive Hans Lord Skarplöth has been cited as saying that his wagering company has seen a 600% spike in wagering on Swedish races since the middle of March.

TRENTON, NJ - Gov. Phil Murphy announced Wed. that he is signing executive order to extend the State of New Jerseys' public health emergency by 30 days.

The governor stated "To be clear: this does not mean we’re seeing anything in the data which would pause our path forward. These declarations, unless extended, expire after 30 days. We’re still in a public health emergency." Murphy continued, “If this extension signals one thing, it is this – we can’t give up one bit on the one thing that we know is working in this fight: social distancing.”

“Remember, in the absence of a vaccine, or even proven therapeutics for #COVID19, our only cure is social distancing.”

TAPinto.net will have detailed coverage of the governor's press briefing later today.

He also offered rooms in the hotel for drivers at a nominal fee.

if these rat bastard dems can kill economy til election day they will....theyre that  desperate and depraved.

btw  king obama will continue to be sliced and diced by 50percent of america this week...though the merry whitewash will continue on cnn msnbc etc for the other half...expect even more damning evidence against barack the hack, 'the russian hoax ringleader'.

ps - trey gowdy said this am:  kevin cheney politico, manu raju cnn and most all nytimes reporters were corrupt adam schiff's go-tos for leaks and lies and truth-stretches with flynn,russian hoax, etc...he'd head out to hallway to text or call them with 'his version' of the closed door testimony,,never what was actually said -- so he could give tapper, blitzer and others 'faux fire' to fuck trump and america over day in day out...if there were public square hangings, schiff and obama would be fitted for neckties already - comey and fbi-mates right behind, next to the intelligence guys clapper and brennan too.

one more opening date footnote: while cdp and summerside will make for fun early returns and hopefully some quality handle too...getting funsters back at hoosier, running aces and northfield work for me even more-----p.s. northfield still has 12grand sitting in their 20cent hi5 carryover..im sure its still there...isnt it?  is there a hard start northfield date set?

Gural actually said on 4-8-20

"It is our hope that we may be able to resume live racing at The Meadowlands on May 1, 2020. That is of course contingent on many things, most of which we do not control."

Nichols, NY — In light of the recent announcement that the New York regions containing both Tioga and Vernon Downs will be among the first to make a gradual return to business, Jeff Gural is working toward opening those tracks for live racing, hopefully by the end of May.

Negotiations with the horsemen’s organizations regarding details on just how to accomplish that in a fashion that would give racing the best chance to be conducted safely are underway.

“Although it’s not in my best business interests to open for racing before the casinos get back going as originally planned, being a horseman I sympathize with the guys that race with us and the situation they have found themselves in through no fault of their own,” said Jeff Gural, owner/operator of Tioga and Vernon Downs.

“Another key issue is the status of the NY Sires Stakes (NYSS) program. There are a lot of unknowns about the other tracks, when they will be able to open and what the landscape will look like when they do. I understand that Buffalo has chosen not to host NYSS races, so if we’re able to get open we’ll include that leg with those raced at Tioga and Vernon and get the program started.

“The picture should become much clearer over the next few days. We are busy working out the details of what will be expected of us to race and just how we’ll get that done. Horsemen will need to be involved and diligent in policing themselves because we can not afford a single mistake.”

Further details will be announced as they become known.

Title: Re: Opening Dates??
Post by: SAW on May 12, 2020, 11:25:49 AM
For all be careful what you wish for. China is now going back into lockdown as the second wave has hit them. You can think what you want racing is not on the top of the list to re open. Maybe it's time to suck it up and realize that racing might not be back until the new year. If you keep pressing to open up and that second wave hits racing will be done.

I say this with respect to everyone's opinion. You can say what if for the rest of your life?

I'm tired of all of the politicians & news media saying "were all in this together" Were Not. They are working/getting paid and are not going to lose their job, house or business!!!!!

What if I drive to grandma's and a semi blows a tire, runs me off the road and kills me and my family?

What if new monkey virus Covid-20 comes to the world in the fall?

What if a metor hits the earth?

Gov Cuomo likes to say every life is precious, and he is correct. But if that's the way we really lived our lives/country would be stagnant.
Using Cuomo's and others statement about life..... We don't lower the nationwide vehicle speed to 20mph to save 40,000 lives per year, because if we did we could save those lives, but we don't because its not feasible & people wouldn't stand for it!!!!

Life is a series of calculated risks... nothing more. Everything that you decide to do has a margin of risk. No outcome is ever 100 percent certain and, any attempt at anything has a chance of complete failure. Life is all about risks... you take some and you avoid others. Taking a risk to achieve a goal requires courage to face the fear of uncertainty. No matter the outcome, either way, we grow through the process and become more resilient.

its a case of politicians and health officials "not knowing what they don't know"
they have no idea how the rate of spread will or wont be
lockdowns were the appropriate action at the time
just as slowly and safely opening back up economies in regions that are deemed safe are appropriate now
yes maybe ny/nj should be on the back burner, but should Indiana, Illinois, Ohio etc be held back 
if it looks like the virus is rising up again than measures will need to be taken but at this time that is a WHAT IF not a fact
the virus is not disappearing in the next few weeks or months so the options are stay shuttered down and destroy the economy FOR ALL  or try to ease our way back to life
some folks make it sound like horse racing is A. going to cause  the virus to accelerate( no proof of that yet) or B. we want horse racing opened up at the expense of other businesses or at the cost of people's lives( not true, not connected scenarios)
if you own a shop that can be opened then go for it, if you have a dog grooming business that can be opened , do it etc
horse racing just happens to be a business that likely can be operated safely unlike cruise ships , sporting events, concerts, restaurants etc
any business that can safely be opend and help stimulate the economy is desperatly needed

Jim Lawson of WEG is an astute and experienced operator
he has been rather vague about what he has  and has not said so far
I am going to assume that he would not come out with specific start dates if he did not have a confident feeling they were obtainable
now that is assuming that the state of the virus stays as is or improves, obviously if there is some kind of spike than everything goes back on hold

.  Those bills don't stop coming from the trainer, vet and breeders farm!!

a valid point that some  people seem unable to grasp
the horse business is not like others that have to shut down , when a business shuts down their costs( other than perhaps rent ) stop, no wages paid, no supplies bought etc , yes of course they are losing profit
 in the horse business  the horses have to be fed and cared for , they also have to be trained to some degree, all costs money , and keep making the stakes payments
but many folks are like , screw horse racing not necessary, perhaps , but what would you suggest we do with the thousands of horses that now have no purpose, let them all lose in fields, subdivisions or should people just pay to care for them for another 15 years until they die of natural causes, and add into the mix the thousands of yearlings  and new born foals as well

Between Wolf In PA and Cuomo in NY, neither has a clue.
Tioga, Vernon, and the Meadows all have on-site stables, and in low risk areas.

Murphy in NJ at least has an excuse for the meadowlands, as it’s located right in the middle of the hotspot, and everyone has to ship in.
Title: Re: Opening Dates??
Post by: trottingstud on May 14, 2020, 06:24:29 PM
the counties that vernon and tioga are in are doing well and opening up slowly. gural trying to get racing at both places by the end of the month. no spectators allowed. working with coumo on a plan for paddock spacing. i don't see coumo allowing that at end of may but if things go well upstate, june strong possibility. if they open might be a lot of sire stakes at both places as gural has already said he will race the buffalo legs. might have to do yonkers, monticello and saratoga if things don't improve at those areas.

At this point can governors shutdown once they open? They have emergency power and the SC in WI already spoke what they thought about a extension...wasn't happening. County boards in IL are voting to open despite what JBP has to say. Agree things will get worse in paper with more testing it's a given. However on the other side of the hemisphere down under cases are low as they get into fall season. That's encouraging for now? If racing can start and show they can rCe and not be a covid hotspot why close? Gulfstream, TB, and Oaklawn did just fine.

YOU'RE OUT OF ORDER! DONALD'S OUT OF ORDER! THE VENTILATORS ARE OUT OF ORDER!

How about this one;

"Attica! Attica! Attica!" Dog day afternoon

Cuomo is smarter than Trump but made two bad calls:

1. "His health Dept. told nursing homes early on they had to take co-19 patients that fit nursing home admission criteria  from hospitals if they were being released from hospital." Bad call! It spreads like wild fire in these homes. Poor nursing home workers are paid crap and it's like being told to charge that machine gun nest to be in these places now.

2. The obsession  on ventilator's was misplaced. There impt but if only 1/5 co-19s that go on them survive, not as impt as initially made out. Ppe and testing a lot more impt.

I would think this is matter for State law in each State so varies. Wisconsin Supreme Court (conservative) ruling would be on Wisc law issue. It wouldn't be precedent for other States although logic applied might be applicable elsewhere.

I think Wisconsin's logic should be applied/applicable elsewhere. Emergency orders should be just that "Emergency's" I.E. Forest fires or Earthquakes. something short term.

This has been ongoing for months and probably will last many more months or possibly years, and thus should be legislated by the state legislator's, not Governors acting like dictators.

All we heard from the media the last 2 years was Trump was turning into a authoritarian strongman/dictator. And now we have 50 of them (governor's) and the media is rooting them on...…

I'm sure a lot of the Governor's think what they are doing correct but What's the old saying "The road to hell is paved with good intentions."

Wisconsin is in a bad place now with the recent court ruling, and they do need some set of rules.

But we are a nation of law's not dictators.

Title: Re: Opening Dates??
Post by: HornbyDuke on May 15, 2020, 05:26:37 PM
I haven't followed other States real closely but somewhat surprisingly NY has State law that gives Cuomo quite wide authority. Section 29-a of Article 2-b of the Executive Law gives the Governor authority to issue any directive necessary to cope with a disaster.

I believe it was added or amended this year. I doubt it would be challenged successfully if a lawsuit was brought on whether this constitutes a disaster.  I suppose someone might litigate questioning what is necessary.  I personally don't think there would be much chance of success there but who knows.

I read this in NY as saying horsemen had better use whatever lines of communication they have with the guy in the governor's mansion in Albany.

He tends IMHO to be somewhat of a control freak, so Id  take a cue from what he's saying about racing. And, if folks don't care for that, they'd have to sway his opinion. Not an easy thing to do.

Personally, I won't bet Yonkers unless they go to Vernon. Saratoga racetrack, Tioga, Buffalo also don't interest me but I'd like to see them get going without fans (as if there were any) just to help the horsepeople out. Belmont and Saratoga flats i'd bet.

Jeffrey is telling you quite simply the track will be operating in the red, while you race and draw down your purse account.  It is just some truthful thought that others (track owners), choose to ignore.  Running races fir purse money is what this business is all about. We get that. Having no real way to fund that account is troublesome. How long can you draw down before you are broke?

There is the slot money sitting there at Tioga from the time racing ended last September until the casino closed in March.
That’s 6 months worth.

That would make perfect sense if you raced all year round.  But, the formula is for year round funding and 100 days of distribution.

Ohio has some slot money reserve that's responsible for most of the purse.

Agree. But is it in their best financial interest to resume racing, distribute that money and not have the casino open to replenish the kitty? No. And they didn't obnoxiously say it like Gural.

b) blew some of that smoke up the commission asses so they'd look the other way.

or c)  says right there in ohha contract..written years ago.  If a coronavirus shows up, any dead to right driver or trainer can tell authorities to shove their year suspension and 'put me down to drive/train'..."ive suffered enough with this f'in chinese govt. virus".   Says it right there in subsection 2.12.5.

I was asking if anyone had heard anything about Mohawk opening up for racing in the first week of june.

cr dawg   answered back that he had heard June 5th.

Then someone else said that rather than having the horsed in the paddock by race, they are looking at trainers with multiple horses in the same night, all placed in their own section of the paddock.

But worried about the risk to the essential paddock/backtrack workers. They are prob some of the least protected. A bandana is better than nothing, but no, it's neither adequate nor enough protection.

The safety of these hard working ppl trumps opening any track. If racing can resume with these people protected, many would return.

Anyone who knows how to play euchre is fine by me (as long as they know to lead the fucking left for their partner).

I disagree though. Nobody is forcing anyone to race, if they accept the risk so be it. Farm work is dangerous, and people who do it accept that risk as part of the lifestyle. Handling horses is dangerous, and people who do it accept that risk. Driving in a race is dangerous, and people who do it accept that risk. Let's let people assess the risks for themselves and let them make the choice that is best for them. Nobody is being forced to be anymore exposed than they choose to be and I think they should have that choice at this point.

Latest plan to save Harness Racing. Hold USTA meeting there, make sure all owners/drivers/trainers present. All catch the Kung Flu and sue the casino! Profits!

Of course, it would be settled out of court and by the time our horsemanship associations get done screwing the rank and file we'd all just get a $20 voucher for slot play and a free trip through the buffet line (excluding gratuity).

4 WEEKS OF QUALIFERS.....

LOSE OF MANY LATE CLOSERS ,,MANY RACE DATES

Still havent heard a peep out of the phha.
Saw Bob Baggit on a video that he or whoever produced it did a good job with but besides that radio silence..
disgusting.
at a time we need them to stand up for us the most it seems they roll over and just say there isnt anything we can do...
maybe some of you should keep that in mind next time you vote,
try voting for people that actually have more than a horse or two
people that do everything they can to promote and work with the business
you never know the next time their will be dire circumstance, but looking at the stability of the business now and the purse threats, that wont take long...

I said as soon as the tracks shut that PA would be the last to open. Thankfully i have horses in other jurdicistions but still the majoirty of my horses are in pa.
and yes wolf doesnt help, but we dont help ourselves.
here is the letter from the MSOA...

perhaps you have a point,
but i dont think they are doing much behind the scenese either
maybe Sam Beegle is, and like I said at least Baggit was in the video, but radio silence and no activity from anywhere else

why would they, its not like they need racing when you are only racing 3 horses?

This is from Standardbred Canada, not the USTA- are these guys working?

Published: May 18, 2020 6:31 pm ET
Horse racing is slated to return to the First State in the coming weeks, as announced by the Delaware Standardbred Owners Association in an open letter to its membership.

In Phase 1 of Delaware's economic reopening, Governor John Carney approved the limited opening of the state's three racetracks — Delaware Park, Dover Downs and Harrington Raceway — effective June 1.

The letter appears in its entirety below.

Delaware Harness Racing Community:

As most of you have probably heard, Governor Carney has approved the limited opening of Delaware's “racinos” effective June 1, 2020. Racing is scheduled to begin at Harrington Raceway on Monday, June 15, 2020. Prior to racing, there will be qualifying races and publication of a condition sheet and draw schedule. I am working with Harrington Raceway and the D.H.R.C. to waive the need to qualify for all horses who have raced since February 1, 2020; I will update everyone once this has been approved.

D.S.O.A. is also currently in negotiations with Harrington Raceway regarding several items such as: a purse schedule, a condition sheet, the number of races and a possible extension of the Spring race meet schedule. There is sill some uncertainty regarding the Delaware State Fair, which bas to be determined. I will post on D.S.O.A.’s webpage and Facebook page how these get resolved as soon as possible.

There will be many restrictions and safety protocols that will be required for Harrington Raceway to reopen. Horsemen will have to strictly comply with these for racing to continue; all of these will be posted soon once they are completed. Everyone will have to be patient, as it will take some time for racing to return to how it was before COVID-19 started. Eventually we will get back to normal but the process will take time.

Getting back to racing should do wonders for us all. Doing what we love to do is the best thing that could have happened; let's embrace it and move forward.

As of today, we have not raced for 63 days. In that time with the casinos also shut down, we have lost over $5,000.000.00 for purses. The tracks also lost about four to five times that amount, Money will be tight for all of us for a while, but it will improve with time. The financial difficulties you all have experienced is also equally devastating but together we can all work to get things back to the way it was soon.

Check the D.S.O.A. webpage and Facebook page for updates, which will be posted once available. Stay well and safe.

Sincerely yours,

Salvatore DiMario
D.S.O.A. Executive Director

Qualifying 1 tomorrow, Wednesday at HP!!  If he goes good will bring him in for a start or 2 in Ohio. That is, if they let us in.  Ridiculous 3 weeks of Qs!!  Thank goodness OH has come to their senses!  When these other states see how successful the handle is this weekend, I would not be surprised they move up starting dates!

Why don't you tell us? You have all the answers correct?



I can definitely tell you Nothing is opening on May 1 as the great Gural stated 5 weeks ago . Dumb ass better talk to Andrew Cuomo he’s in control of all 5 states and you can believe schools will open before racetracks and schools have no Ppe plan in place for students or administration. Best racetracks can hope for is late summer or as I have stated repeatedly September 1

Actually its YOU Lying AGAIN...… He never promised about May 1st or June 5th...… But you may be correct about not being tight with the Govenor.

April 8th - "It is our hope that we may be able to resume live racing at The Meadowlands on May 1, 2020. That is of course contingent on many things, most of which we do not control."

May 16th -  Gural said he has made an official proposal to the state to let him open the Meadowlands June 5 without fans allowed in the building and, though he has yet to receive an answer, he said he was optimistic the state would grant the request.

No Promises or Proclamations just him saying that he is trying.

Meadowland to resume racing June 5 at 7:15 p.m


Qualifiers will be held at Gaitway on Friday, May 29, Sunday, May 31, and Tuesday, June 2, for farm tenants only, no outside horses will be permitted. The Meadowlands will host qualifiers on Saturday, May 30. Magical Acres has applied to hold additional qualifiers on Monday, June 1, and Wednesday, June 3, pending approval from the New Jersey Racing Commission.

Pari-mutuel racing at the Meadowlands is scheduled to resume on Friday, June 5 at 7:15 p.m., and once it does, live action will take place every Friday and Saturday throughout June and July with a first-race post time of 7:15 p.m. At this time, the dates are pending regulatory approval. Of course, given what is now known as the "new normal", there will be no fans allowed inside the Big M for the foreseeable future.

YONKERS in two weeks-monticello announcement tomorrow. Only track in Limbo-Harrahs Chester--which Wolf trying to keep shuttered as long as possible because he hates horse racing-doesnt give a shit about anyone else-but is OK with murdering 2000 aged care people. Even Stevie Wonder could see that putting covid 19 patients in nursing homes recipe for disaster.

THATS THE RUMOR,,,,,,LIVE RACING JULY 6TH,,,NO SPECTATORS

More BS from PA on track opening:

6/4- The MSOA has been working with The Meadows management, PA State Horse Racing Commission,  PA Department of Health and our MSOA lobbyists to resume racing as quickly as possible at the Meadows. The COVID-19 protocols for the Racetracks and the Racing Commission were submitted to the PA Department of Health on Monday. All parties are anxiously awaiting approval of those protocols and procedures. But, until that happens, no racing can be held. MSOA continues to encourage the Commission and track management to be up and running as soon as possible after approval from the Department of Health. With that in mind, all horsemen need to realize that strict COVID-19 protocols will be in place and it is incumbent of horsemen to adhere to these protocols to prevent a possible shutdown by the Department of Health.
Today, the MSOA Board met to discuss plans for when racing does return.
MSOA actions taken today:
These actions all have a 15 racing day sunset meaning the MSOA will revisit each item for possible adjustments after 15 racing days.

-The $200 stipend currently paid to non earning horses in 10 horse fields has been increased to $250 for all horses in every race that do not earn a purse check.
– The $20 Trainer/Driver stipend has been increased to $40.
– To adjust for the loss of income during the shutdown, purses will be reduced by 10%.
– The weekly number of acceptable 10 horse fields has been increased from 8 to 16.

Again, these changes are for 15 racing dates and will be reevaluated at that time.
MSOA will continue to work towards the earliest start back date possible.

Giving trainers and drivers 40.00 is fucking stupid. Assholes on the board are taking care of themselves. I am sure they did not give their owners a break. My bills never went down, cost the same to feed board them. Most of the trainers and drivers at the meadows live on the 20 dollar drives, oh wait you don´t get 20 you get 15 cause you have to donate to the lobbyist who is totally useless. 1099 for the entire amount, taxed on $ they take out.

On the positive side, they give $250 now (was $200) for finishing 6th or worse in a 10 horse field.  Not many tracks do that.
