Title: Ohio Finals tonight at Northfield
Post by: Harness racer on October 12, 2024, 07:03:00 AM
2 things...

1.  Looks to be several decent betting races.

2.  Burke will need a dump truck to get all his money home.  Could win a million or close to it tonight.

Attendance and handle will be severely hit going up against Ohio State#2 vs Oregon#3...In Ohio
that's like Cornhole vs the NFL. Oh by the way, it's Super Gold night at Mohawk. tmbz1

Yeah, huge game out in Oregon.  I'm sure that will kill attendance. 

Over/Under on Burke's take is 700k for the night.  Any guesses?  Aren't you Ohio horsemen excited he decided to take over your program?

Lots of good betting races. The race I'm looking forward to watching the most, not betting on is 2 year old colt pace final race 5. Rick Wink putting his undefeated record on the line against Swingtown and Sippinonsearoc. He drew much better. Looks like Miller, Dexter and Yannick will be there as well..

Ohio Stakes program has come a long way.  One of, if not the best programs.  A few of the big boys are in town and lots of nice races.  The Burke entry in the 2yo colt pace might fill up the podium!

You are absolutely right Bitter. People outside of Ohio don't realize how massive the Buckeyes are here. I had a couple visit us from Baltimore last year and my wife and I took them to our favorite watering hole here in Delaware. They asked me why all the M's has a red x of tape over them..and I said M is the first letter in Michigan they are all covered in a red X of tape. I told them they should see what it's like on campus.

It is also very poor planning on the powers that be that the Ohio finals and Super gold finals are on the same night.

No I am not and he will win 4 of the 8 finals is my prediction. No idea how much $ that is.
Title: Re: Ohio Finals tonight at Northfield
Post by: Harness racer on October 12, 2024, 08:52:32 AM
Winning 4 would be 600k by itself.  Not to mention the other checks he gets.

Then over 700 grand.. the winners are:
Race 2 Either #2 Rose Run Allison or # 6 Mocha Hill
Race 4 # 2 Hilltop Sonar
Race 5 # 3 Rick Wink or # 7 Sippinonsearoc or #8 Swingtown
Race 9 # 5 Seaside Diva

Woodbine finals look far less competitive.  Heavy chalks in most races.

MLB evened changed the start time for Guardians -Tigers game to accommodate the Ohio State game. tmbz1
Title: Re: Ohio Finals tonight at Northfield
Post by: Jctoronto on October 12, 2024, 09:54:04 AM
then again, Indians Tigers could be in the 18th inning about then too.

Gingras, Dunn, D Miller join the Wrenn, Merriman, Page, Myers, Smiths and friends Northfield fun.
Tim Tetrick, who was with those first three in a big price ISS night at Hoosier, and delivered 34 and 22 dollar winners, takes night off.
Up at Mohawk..it's a closed Canadian talent or bust kinda Finals night.

That one seems like a lock.  Sucks that they are generally unlikeable.  But Dexter is the man, and no one is close.  I like to see just how many he can win on big nights.

Bitter Truth:

MLB changed the start time of the Indians/Tigers game because there is rain in the forecast later in the day, not because of OSU. As for attendance, who goes to the track anymore?
Title: Re: Ohio Finals tonight at Northfield
Post by: Bitter Truth on October 12, 2024, 10:31:24 AM
I guess you're right, though the short article on the ESPN sights that the change is also an advantage for fans, so they don't have to decide or change back and forth between games.

Post by: Harness racer on October 12, 2024, 10:49:24 AM
Some tracks show a decent attendance on big nights...but not as a whole.
Title: Re: Ohio Finals tonight at Northfield
Post by: Scooteroo on October 12, 2024, 10:50:49 AM
A decent on-track attendance these days is 3,000.

Northfield r4
300,000 2yr old cg trot Ohio Final

BIG money intriguing.

In this division, always a break or two waiting for one of the 8 new but tough young trot combatants here.

Very competitive event and while #2 and #7 LT  headline,
others in here with legit shot at serious dollars.

#5 Battle Hill 9-2 ml, Lems/Burkholder/Hartt
Clean trip keeps this one close
#6 Scrappy's Love 10-1 ml, Wilder. Gets Lasix tonight..def a consideration too.

#1 third at best
#2 Hilltop Sonar one of faves Page Burke
#3 What's Shakin Gillespie steed shot at underneaths
#4 Caviar Creek. Merriman has 'unders' look
#5 Battle Hill. Lems
#6 Scrappy's Love Wilder
#7 LT Loverboy  Every chance for B Miller
#8.Oso Fast: division winner last time, but lots to do out there tonight

Good luck all

My favorite OHSS o/u is how many times Merriman screws up a race by overdriving on the front end and backing up through everyone down the backside

Guy is usually clueless in big money races...especiall y when the big boys are in town.  Example is how he handled Clever Cody all year.  Horse has more talent than his lines show.

If being an 'Owner' means you have no choice of race, trainer or driver,
then more power to him. tmbz1

that’s how it is in many cases these days.

The times of solo ownership of high price horses is in the minority.

First Final.
The Stable had two make into the top 8.
Burke has two - the two favorites

That may be so, but the horse was totally empty. He wasn't winning tonight under any circumstances.

That's the reason why the small owners are becoming extinct in Ohio. Being forced down to the fair level to race for crumbs.

Even if the little guy does get one 9x out of 10 one of those three overpay by the first sire stakes.  It’s usually a number they just can’t turn down
