Title: topsham fair
Post by: chief yogi on August 09, 2021, 11:07:46 AM: so nice to be back at the fair. a great time of the year. so sad very sad to see that nothing worked. sam machines not taking money. tellers that could not punch a straight trifecta. no video which after my horse gets dq ed would have been nice to watch the replay. tote board with assorted payoffs, was it $2 or $1 or 50 cents no real announcements that were totally correct. i love the fairs. as an industry they help create interest in racing. i wish day one was not such a disaster. on the horse side i havent seen so many dehydrated horses in one day for years. i kept waiting for one to drop in the winners circle.

Post by: Racing Troll on August 11, 2021, 12:56:49 AM: SO TYPICAL OF THE MAINE LOSERS TO BLAME A FAIR FOR THEIR SHIT FOR PRODUCT NOT BEING WORTHY TO BET ON

NEED AN ASS CANCER EPIDEMIC TO WIPE OUT MAINE

THE FAIR COSTS TOO MUCH, WHAT A DIP SHIT

Participation prizes for everyone—no one leaves empty handed (except the bettors who paid $15 for the privilege to get on the grounds). Hope the remainder of the fair season is better.

My gang of four who went balked at shelling out the 60.00 to get in and simply went to the Brunswick Otb parlor and bet there instead.

Post by: harnesstimes on August 14, 2021, 10:18:16 AM: HOPEFULLY THE FAIRS WILL REALIZE IT JUST ISNT WORTH THE TIME AND EFFORT TO HOLD HARNESS RACING AND TELL HARNESS RACING TO GO FUCK ITSELF. FAIRS WILL MAKE MORE OFF THE GRANDSTAND WITH A CONCERT OR A DEMO DERBY AND HARNESS RACING WILL BE WITHOUT A TRACK FOR THE SUMMER

THE FAIR ITSELF IS THE ATTRACTION, NOT THE HARNESS RACING
