Bluechip should be boycotted for supporting marks.
Marks will still get his pockets lined from Gillis an Bongiorno. He lined them up
With owners an sauces them up for a percentage.
100%. They are supposed to be pioneers for integrity and they endorse biggest crook in the game. Same goes for Crawford farms with bongiorno... Bunch of hypocrites!!!!

They will always find one, they don't have to look far. It will be interesting to see where Dowse's (Marks) horses wind up this week and how well they do being watched by eveyrone.

Yes Crawford's also use Oakes whose horses always look like champions at tracks with no real detention barn.

njbest, ya lets want bad things to happen to the guy who stands up says enough. How can you try to exonerate Josh, he got caught by security on the backside, that was technically trespassing. Josh knows what he's doing is wrong, all he had to do was keep his mouth shut. He is a moron, might be a great guy to some, but he is just plain stupid, and you can't fix stupid. I am sure he will get a new beard and the next one will end up like the last ones have. This is the problem with our business, stick up for the cheats and trash the people who call them out.

why cant we get rid of the owners who support these scums instead of chasing after ghost trainers

Now you've hit the nail on the head. If an owner knowingly uses a banned trainer, through deceptive channels, for the purpose of making an illegitimate profit - that is Fraud.
It may take something like a joint class action lawsuit for fraud, seeking monetary compensation for lost income, brought by some coalition of bettors and or trainers/owners, against these owners that profit from said fraud, to really shock this broken system.
As with most things harness, the current policing infrastructure is inadequate to handle the problem, and the solution may lie in the state courts.

I CAN ONLY HOPE THAT HORSEMAN WILL BOYCOTT BOTH BLUECHIP
AND CRAWFORD AT THE YEARLING SALES THIS FALL.

That is not as far fetched as it sounds. All you would need is a few big time buyers to announce in unison that they were boycotting the consignment of breeders using beards. I would bet others would follow which could put a dent in their sales.

The real problem is: harness racing is so irrelevant to most if not all state governments, they will not invest much if anything into policing it. In NY, the so so not commited the owner must pay $19.00 to enter a horse. This is to offset the cost of testing and policing that the mutual tax once paid.
 So, since it produces no revenue for the state, it has no political power. In short, nobody cares. The game is wide open.

The cost is $19.90 and I'm convienced  they only test for bute.  If that.

I think some commissions dump a lot of it down the drain. I agree, owners need to be held accountable for using banned trainers. It's not like they don't know what's going on.
Title: Re: New Josh Marks Beard coming Soon
Post by: The Exporter on July 20, 2019, 02:37:42 PM
Your polly right, Parked. I remember about 10 years ago when they initially added a $10.00 stater fee. It was in reaction to Cornell University refusing to do any testing because the state was behind in their bill. After it was all settled,  the Lab admitted they had not done one test for many months.
