LOL.  A 5 claimer goes in 52 and faster nowadays.  Let me know when he goes sub 49 and maybe I'll give you props.  If this is all you got to post a new thread because a horse that you like goes 52 I guarantee you the entire forum feels sorry for you.

John wanted to call the races at Ocean Downs last summer. Yonkers would not give him the time off.

Hernan had enough of that cesspool and had to move on...now he does his own thing while still being able to stay in the game seasonally at Ocean and he's better off...I'm happy for him.

Out of all the announcers who have been auditioning I think George Anthony stands out. George still knows how to make a race call colorful and brings some excitement. Now George is not a kid any more so I don’t know if he is up to announcing five nights a week. What I really wish is for Yonkers to bring back the very professional John Hernan. I have no idea why John is no longer in the YR booth. He is much too good for Ocean Downs.

Harness Racing / Re: Driver fined for not whipping! WTF!

Personally I don't think it was a bad look I thought it was funny. He knew he was collared late in the mile after doing all he could do to keep his horse going so he got frustrated. It was a heat of the moment type thing. Shows that he's passionate and wants to win.

All accounts are he's a good kid and talented. Merriman was sticking up for him after the incident. He's been doing great this year and hopefully he doesn't lose that momentum.

This reminds me of a race back in NZ like 35 years ago.

There was a maiden horse that had finished 10th or worse on 5 consecutive occasions. The horse happened to be named The Trump.  His trainer was staying at Robert Cameron's farm (Cameron was a top driver who even won a WDC) Cameron trained a few and he told the trainer, leave him with me, I will get him to win a race.  Two weeks later he was in to go and would have been like 50 to 1.  Cameron told my trainer he was going to win and to bet on him, which we did.

He was a lazy horse, and they came to the top of the stretch, and he was a length in front, Bob gave him a haymaker and he went two lengths clear, then another, three clear and so on until he won by 6. He was hauled before the judges and fine $500 for the red marks on the horse's ass end.  I mentioned to him after the race, "U didn't have to hit him that hard did you" and he said, when the money is on, you have to, he was going to stop.   He ended up being 5-1 and lined a few pockets.

The funny thing was he ran the following week against winners of 1 and ran away from the field and won by 5 without being whipped once.  I guess that hammering he got woke him up. He won at 12-1 and not one of us, including his driver, bet him.

I agree with many that he was going to lose. Was it a bad look but not as bad as Drew Neil’s stiff.
But there has been quite a few bad looks this year including the scuffle on the track.
