agree harness racer
i wish it was 10,20 ,30 years ago when the sport was much more on the up and up and the people were of a more honest nature( but lets be real, there have always been some with few morals )
as for you mike , i am not sure what you expect people who "work" in the business to be , do you expect the owners who spend millions at the sales to be mucking stalls and training horses, they pay others to do that , someone is not going to pass up a job on wall street to be a groom
i don't think any of us like where the sport is or is headed but come on any time there is competition there are cheats, look at the Olympics and pro sports, everyone wants an edge
the difference which i acknowledge is that in horse racing the horses don't knowingly put the shit in their own body

Hung jury, unfortunately.  More delays

I agree with you in the respect that the scum bag drug trainers and owners who support it are ruining the sport! Or have possibly ruined it for good.  But why insult the people making a living as grooms or jogging?  You love horses, you know stalls have to be cleaned and horses bathed and looked after.  Those aren’t the people ruining the industry.

I knew I was "dead" when he didn't go first -over at the half....but I would have felt better if Merton did SOMETHING, rather than sit in behind those long shots.  Go first-over and give it up on the far turn - at least I would have felt I got a little run for my money. 
I also try to stay away from races where the three Merton boys are in the same race .....never know whose "turn" it is to win those races......LOL.
