Mohawk Monday

[whiptherabbit]

Race#4-#6 RITSON 15-1 ML Virtually zero gate speed in here at all, been floundering this year but can get off the wings. Will be bombs away in here, worth a shot.

Race#7-#6 CAPTAIN FIREBALL 3-1 ML Debuts for Barrington off a sharp effort, I’ll expect even more improvement tonight.

Race#9-#5 DREAMFAIR ARNIE B 7-2 ML ***BEST BET*** Big debut last week, flashed huge back half making debut off of 6 months on the shelf. #4 will be the heave fave in here, Cullen can leave or come off the pace, versatile type, think he gets it done in this one tonight.

Best of luck!

good luck with your picks Rabbit

race 9 #5 Dreamfair Arnie B- i also like very much-faced tougher last year and had his obligatory tightener-should be ready for a top effort

I prefer the months of November thru April as far as Mohawk goes--i seem to struggle guessing who is ready and who isnt with all these horses coming off layoffs-i am not good at guessing especially with many stakes horses

race 2-#2 Amigo Volo has a big fitness edge on Logan Park-who hasnt raced in over 6 months-if this was 30-40 years ago Amigo Volo would be a solid win bet for me--but these days the layoffs dont mean as much-many are tight off the shelf

where is James Macdonald?

Baldie taking full advantage of JMac being out. A five bagger

He hasn't forgot how to drive for sure maybe he  did a few lines tonight    James ain't the only one capable there he's winning against other good drivers. Horse power helps..

James Macdonald should be given a 6 month vacation to think about his careless and lack of effort driving. And the judges should be all relieved of their duties. Another open trot race. Another joke of a half. Mohawk should race the open trot at 4am as a non betting race so the wagering public doesn’t have to watch such joke racing.

Race 2 – Judges spoke to Jody Jamieson (#5 Logan Park) regarding the second quarter
(:28, :58.2) – no violation of AGCO Rule 22.05.01(k).

Not sure what you were expecting in that Open trot--the days of unnecessary fast fractions, movement and competitive racing are long gone--nobody forces the issue or plays hard ball

the purses are infused with gaming money-there is no need to have your horse get parked when there is plenty of money to race for the next time they all meet

its a friendly group of good ole boys-they are all friends and always provide a tuck or let someone get away with uncontested leads-no need to give a real effort

I expected Amigo Volo to at least try-but that didnt happen either

this isnt the 80s or 90s anymore-this is modern day harness racing

pappilion you are right, i have said for years , its a bros club and everyone knows their place and gets paid accordingly
tyler borth has learned, gave amigo hall the night the off after some big miles, maybe the judges should call him in

always some interesting bull shit in these agco reports
1. i see chad rozema is trying to become a judge, guess things did not work out at grand river ??, being a judge, nice retirement  part time job if you can get it
2.so they "spoke " to jody about the slow second quarter, and what was the outcome or results of that discussion, a slap on the wrist i assume so why bother noting it and looking like fools
3. judges spoke to young about his urging style, he will make adjustments ?? in what way , what was deemed wrong and how is he to correct it
4. drivers meeting thursday... great , what is it for and will we know the things discussed and the results

typical nonsense from these jackals

Same lines of bullshit with no accountability,  the drivers rule the roost ,no need for the judges
They even have a private driver's betting chat room

[Jazzman]

in defence of chad rozem grand river changed their managment position to a seaonal job 5 month contract cant live off that

[Brown jug]

knowing that it makes sense as to who grand river hired , no disrespect to the new hire but read the article and her resume , yikes!!
