I didn’t mention his name

Im upset cause horsemen get the short end of the stick every time

Now no racing because concert comes before
 Championship finals 
and  racing will not get done before it’s concert time
That’s my beef

The expense of shipping. Horses not shipping  in hot weather plus Illinois horsemen don’t make enuff money to begin with

Let’s Fck them some more 

Great job Springfield always put the horsemen last  tmbz1

IHHA and IRB

For taking all they crap tracks keep feeding u guys

LucPark it had nothing to do with the concert. The fair races were cancel,Ed again due the rain and bad weather. We’re racing them st Hawthorne the first week. It’s all because of the dam rain.

Not true pal. The horseman are the ones who voted to cancel. After what’s been happening with tragedies in harness racing they aren’t taking any more chances. My uncle was down there and said everything is flooded out.

so what is it --- your subject line is races cancelled to make room for concert

The USTA says it was due to weather and other time constraints

Others here said horsemen voted to cancel and its now moved to Hawthorne.

So which is it ?
Weather / No weather
Concert / No Concert
Horsemen votee / Didn't Vote ?

First of all, the horsemen had ZERO input in the decision to cancel the races. It was a joint decision by the State Fair officials including Jerry Costello, Rebecca Clark and Tim Norman along with some input by the IRB and Hawthorne. Original Post Time was 10:00am. It was told that the track could be ready by 11:30am-Noon.
However, they were under severe time restraints and the races had to be concluded by 2:30 pm the latest in
order for the preparation of the Tim McGraw concert. With 18 races scheduled there was no way they could have completed the entire card. Thus, the horsemen lose as well as the breeders as a majority of expected yearling purchasers will have a lot less cash in their pockets because of this and the total lack of necessary racing opportunities that were available this summer.

Finally someone that has valuable input as to the happenings.  Shouldn't the fair have planned this better? Allowing for alternate days? Seems that the Horseman's Association should request a race date to be completed at the fair grounds and Purses distributed.

Wow what a tough business decision that had to be made by the State Fair. Go with 18 races and 30 people in attendance or go with a sold out concert at probably $ 40-50 a pop. Can’t believe the dumb asses would cancel the races

Harnessplop: No use tryin to call out someone. I did it 5 times and theys were no shows. The guy claims to be a black belt in TW KWAN Do or some shit. Kinda like years ago the MIDGET LUKEPUKE with his JUDO and bodyguard. Everythin is BULLSHIT. It amazin how this site has changed from it's original purpose when started. I even found LUCPUKE humorous back then. Know it's gang up on any one with a differin view. The little kids with their constant posts and no truth verification have taken over. It.s become a lost cause.
HORNEY DUKE. TUG was GREAT. You sure that not his son. His old man would probably be in 80's.

Tug passed away @ 20 yrs in 2004. Tim apparently is his son. Odd - one (pop)excels in baseball the other (son) in music. Odd but true. Couldnt give me a ticket free to Tim. Shania Twain id take a free ticket.

Finally someone that has valuable input as to the happenings.  Shouldn't the fair have planned this better? Allowing for alternate days? Seems that the Horseman's Association should request a race date to be completed at the fair grounds and Purses distributed.

There usually are no alternative days for those races. The track gets used for multiple events all week like nightly concerts  and the closing weekend is used for motor sports. Once the rain screwed the eliminations which they tries one alternative date you couldn't race those on a Monday or Tuesday and come back with finals on a Thursday. Only to have another rain out and the weekend is a non starter. So off the Hawthorne. Fact is concerts and motor sports bring in more money then harness racing so no wonder which gets bumped first. If Hawthorne was open now it would have run the races this weekend with a earlier card like Balmoral did 8 or 9 years ago when rain halted the finals. However a thoroughbred meet is ongoing

I too have a black belt in TW Kwan. When I do a demonstration I tear up 10 parimutual tickets with one rip. Practice makes perfect 🤩
