Was just about to post about this!
Wonder if he will pick up horses from some of the rumored “belcher beards” or start from scratch?

How in the world is this a good move for an industry that is in hospice care, now. Maybe SCM can get the Presiding Judge's job that they are recruiting for at Yonkers.

It's not a good move, but sadly the industry gives zero fucks about what anyone thinks.

BINGO!
It is really easy to root against 90% of harness racing.
-
I didn't realize its been 20 years since he's been licensed.

He has been on Bob's Burgers the last decade or so.

It ain’t the industry that gives zero fucks. It is the do nothings appointed by the governor of PA that don’t do their jobs.
-
IS ANYBODY SURPRISED? I am, but it just proves how totally fucked up our sport has become and not looking like it will change in the future. Does he have a USTA trainers license? Who the hell would approve him, gotta be a complete moron. I wonder if they apologized for the poor treatment he's had the past 20 years. They should have said are you out of your fucking mind, you are a criminal.
-
He doesn’t have to have a USTA license to get a racing commission license. Now that PA has licensed him they USTA can’t deny him.
-
Bob is good people was stabled next to him many years always willing to help someone out
-
Now Josh should be ok.
-
Let's just discontinue the testing process for good! This is a terrible decision for the good of the game. When someone with his history is reinstated,it leads to more corruption from the guys who should have been revoked over the years! Harness Racing just went from climbing the ladder towards re-exposure to "Screw it,we don't feel like climbing after all!
-
Compare Belchers record to Burke’s record and Burke has 15 times more serious violations then Bob. So Bob should have gotten his license back years ago.
-
Josh made that operation run on Chitteden road back in the day. He worked hard for Bob. Bob was just the doper. Horses still need worked, shipped,and cared for.
-
If I remember correctly he once flew a plain with a banner over the race track that said no luck for the Irish. 0-57. That was a classic.
Referring to the shamrock stable.
-
And then the shamrock stable went on a rampage. Grismore was on fire with those things, it may have been one of the best hot streaks I have ever seen. They were so tq'ed or in some sort of hypnotic state they just floated around the track. And then one day mulrooney just disappeared. There was some article in the plain dealer about him and Aldrich coming to some sort of agreement or something like that.

Will MSO be back ?

Burke also has a ton more horses. Not sure the ratio would be in Belcher's favor.

This guy will show Burke's how its done!

So with that logic, the more horses you have then more positive s your allowed.
Go look up Bobs violations from mid 90’s to early 2000’s , he had 50 plus horses a year and maybe 4 positives

He's not a pimple on Burke's ass. Wake up.

I would be happier with a case of anal warts then that.
-
So the shamrock stable and Mulrooney did go on a tear.
Do you know why or how that happened? Who was training those horses? Who was the vet? They got help after being embarrassed. That's the only reason.
-
Shamrock had to beg to get the vet to help him. And the vet would of never helped the shamrocks out with out the approval of a select few people. It was an offer the vet couldn't refuse.

Unfortunately the Senator is gone from here or he could have given you all the warts of choice you wished for. ngc3 Herpes too!

I did not say that anyone should be allowed any more positives than another. I am saying from a ratio standpoint, # of horses trained to # of positives, I would have thought Belcher was worse off than Burke. I looked at his violations and not counting possession of prescribed meds and syringes/needles, I counted 9. However I do not recall the number of horses he was training in the 90s/early 2000s.
