Another master in the fine art of hanging hobbles...

Mocha Java in today in 4 yo KYSS race 5 softest division.  Guess since he ran his only start before sale posting they never got him sold at that bargain price. 

He will lie right through his teeth, contradicting himself from one video to the next.

Insert SCM teeth joke here

Meadowlands owner Jeff Gural served notice this week that the
track will not accept entries for horses owned in partnership
with Judy Taylor, the mother of Howard Taylor, and that her
interests must be divested by June 1.

The move puts some of the best 3-year-olds back into limbo.

The question I have is this going too far or not?

This certainly creates a shitfest for the partners of Taylor who are being penalized.

Overall, I think we can all agree with Gural in trying to clean up the industry but is this going too far?.  People like Taylor have spent millions of dollars in purchases, and it has a ripple down affect.  Gural apparently has the right to exclude whoever, but it also looks like there is a lot more animosity than these so-called drugs being purchased by an owner.

Seriously? He invested millions because he knew it was a fixed game. He was in on the fix and there's proof of it from him buying the EPO. The millions he invested is contributing to the downfall of harness racing. The old farmers that raced the family horses that kept these tracks going aren't around anymore to save it. The evolution of the sport is destroying itself and we all know it and we all see it. We all saw what happened to dog racing once fewer and fewer owners and trainers were involved. My last trip to the dog track had under 20 people in the grandstand all nine races were competed by the same two trainers they both had truckloads of dogs. And then later that year it was banned and made illegal. There was nothing in the news about all the failed drug tests and breakdowns lead weights funneled down their throats to slow em down.

May be grateful.....down the road..... that he has a college degree to fall back on to help support his many children
