Good luck Lost Cause.

I prefer the cheap races over these. But I'll post selections here. There are some real differences in the class of many of these horses in any given race. Not sure that it is noticed by most.

Race 1  5 win box 45  dd  45/3  p4  45/3/157/278

Woops
I need to stick to the trots

BTW a blind man could see periculum is in an impossible spot from 8 hole here but because stable is struggling,  they will gun him

my comment, sorry no selections
however i assume this is their biggest day of the year
and no in house production show of any kind
just the old regular announcer reading out what anyone can see on the program
no other 'experts" offering other analysis or perhaps how the race might play out
kind of sad really but not shocking for harness racing

No Ake driving today?  Driver changes everywhere.

Boxing 1-6 in the 8th.  Clever Cody has to be better with A-A-Ron off.

Mark Macdonald over AROD?  Let me know where and when you bet and ill book your bets

Merriman has driven him into the ground the last few starts.  Thought a change of pace would have been good for him.  Turns out the horse isn't that special against these.  Don't misunderstand, I don't thin Mark Mac is that good, just an angle.

How many grand circuit races has Arod won? How many has Mark won in his career? Mark is light years ahead of some bullring driver.  tmbz1

Why was he programmed then?  He could have flown with Yannick and Dexter to Canada.

6 starters 1 2nd 1 3rd

Better than a disaster but not going to cut the mustard with that spending

Like most casinos tracks Pocono don’t care. But at least they were kind enough to open the paddock early so horsemen didn’t get stuck being late with a Trump rally up the street
Title: Re: thoughts on pocono today
Post by: Brown jug on August 17, 2024, 07:27:46 PM
5 had to come down
the 4 certainly had to be grabbed up and lost momentum
i suspect if 4 had finished closer say 2nd they likely take the 5 down
bad call for sure
Title: Re: thoughts on pocono today
Post by: comeonman on August 17, 2024, 07:32:46 PM
Just so stupid...he cost 4 all his momentum. Took him off helmet..just makes no sense
Title: Re: thoughts on pocono today
Post by: old guy on August 17, 2024, 07:37:38 PM
Made a break, lost no ground, interfered with the horse behind him. No placing I give up.

The judges threw the home town driver a big favor. What a shame for all gamblers and horsemen and owners involved. Just no care at all that this is a business and a public gambling game

There were more people at the races than at this snoozefest rally for Trump. Plenty and I mean Plenty of empty seats.
Trump just said Wilkes Barre is in North Carolina.  ngc3

He's starting to remind me of a washed up comedian who ends up eating his pistol in the Catskills after being let go of his summer resort job telling stale jokes.

Same old tired act

At least I had $10 WP on Captain Albano and caught the tri  tmbz1
Rest of tonight was a total waste of my time.
Think I'll go play craps with my afternoon profit

Horse should have for sure come down, but I’m really not sad to see Engblom get screwed.

Timmy was he still there after the first race ?
