what a snow/con job this guy did on the industry
everyone tripping over themselves to interview and get his opinion on the state of racing
and on top of it he reels in grant and fielding etc

wonder if standardbred canada has any follow up articles planned

He got rich guy Grant for 62 million but also fucked a lot of people that weren't rich out of their lifes savings. Bastard.

Even that amount is barely more than chump change to Grant.  But what he did to the normal public who invested their life savings and houses is unforgivable, don't know what's going to happen to him but he deserves all of it.

What a shitshow this is going to be. Out of curiosity what's going to happen to the 2 or 3 million dollars worth of yearlings he bought this year and his highclass stock which he has a lot of.  Ongait ??

I thought I saw some 2023 purchases.
Title: Re: Grant vs Steve Heimbecker
Post by: Harness Stats on January 06, 2024, 09:49:20 PM
Yes, I misassumed that the Standardbred Canada article that mentioned the purchases was recent because of all the 2023 stories on the right side of the page.  Now I see the article was November 2021 so sorry ..  I have seen his name of some good horses racing last year though.

I'm sure she came away just Fine , the training or salary would have been crazy high and the equipment all would have been new

Love the fact this dude bought a yearling named Catch a Thief.

Catch A Thief (International Moni - Legal Lady) led the only field of freshman trotters through panels in :31.4, 1:03.3 and 1:34.1 before crossing the wire 5-3/4 lengths in front in 2:03.2. Louis-Philippe Roy was in the bike for trainer Amanda Fine and owner Steve Heimbecker.

I smell investigation for hidden ownership on these horses,  And you knew the guy wasn't too sharp when he hired two inexperienced trainers.

Inexperienced trainers??  Lmaof. Amanda is Marty Fine using his daughter’s name as trainer. He ain’t inexperienced at pre race

Marty never could actually train a horse. Don’t have to know much to buy or claim an old racehorse and pump it full of juice. Even though our horses are much more athletic these days you still gotta know how to condition and rig young ones if they are going to last long

Marty is sharp , he always finds a way to get money without ever having to work for it. Apple didn't fall far from the tree the kid is the same

It is funny how owners who have lots of money can have horsemen rip them off left and right.  My family were victims of this.  We knew the guy was getting us a bit on bills but after getting a miscellaneous bill of 500 per month on six horses we confronted guy.   Shipping costs were extremely high as well.  The Fines were in paradise with this owner.  Wonder if they are still chums?

Sorry my man. Your family were not victims. They were obviously looking for an easy ROI and did no research on the trainer. I can’t tell you how many owners have cried too me about getting ripped off by a trainer only too move their horses to another known ripoff artist
