Really? It wasn’t that long ago on your FB page you were talking about him getting after a horse, when the truth was that’s the kind of horse you have to keep after, you wanna post the screen shots about what you said?
You are an ugly bastard and you will burn in hell some day! 🖕🏼

Once again I'm not Mike Petrelli. That would be easy to figure out if you read my past comments. Anyways asshole this is about Hunter Myers a great young talent who was tragically taken from the world.

I am not Mike Petrelli. And most importantly this is about a poor young man who I'm reading now is in very critical condition with slight chance of pulling through who needs everyone to come together and pray! And instead you want to come here with this bull shit? You should be ashamed you fucking scum bag

He has passed away. Enough. Take your rant somewhere else.

Meadows has canceled Thursday’s and Friday’s races.

Niki Presto on Facebook. Check out her posts. Apparently she is at the hospital with his family. He is indeed in very critical condition and on life support. But he has not passed. So once again let's pull together and pray for this young man and his family!
-
RIP :'( :'(

Hunter a couple months ago said his
biggest win:
$100,000 Scioto Downs and the very capable 3 yr old filly trotter Allegiant in the Moni Maker July '24
So tragic.

Horrible, great driver & human. Always shared a laugh, good bloke
Always the good die young, while the cockroaches scurry away

Yes he does and he talks shit about people who have family’s and actual loved ones just because NO ONE cares about his worthless ass , does not mean he can go around talking shit like he does, maybe now he will Shut the fuck up and go crawl back into the sewer he came from!

He constantly talks about my family it's just shows his class. I can't say it doesn't hurt me the way he talks about my family because it does but I will never retaliate it doesn't pay he has nothing to lose and I have all to lose.
Back on the original post it's a shame what happened to this young man god bless him and his family.

Isn't this the thread about the kid today??? You are SICK.
-
Both Gaagoots and Petrelli are garbage arguing on this thread like a couple of 6 year olds while a young man is fighting for his life. You got a 5th rate wanna be racist owner and a shit shoveling tattle tale that interjects himself where he doesn't belong to make himself feel relevant. How would both you clowns feel if that was your son on life support. Take that shit somewhere else. And prayers up for Hunter

Learn to take care of yourself and not be obsessed with the actions of others. And I'm not going to go back and forth with you on this thread. I've got more class in my pinky finger then you and that racist piece of crap do in your whole body.

Unfortunately it looks to be the worst nightmare for the harness racing community. R.i.P Hunter! Meadows and northfield won't be the same! I cant imagine what his family is going through. All I can say is from what I hear raise your boys to be like him! My new thoughts and prayers are with Chloe and all of his closest friends and family.

Spot on,
Extremely sick individuals
The worst thing that could happen in a race, did.
Show some class & grow up
-
When something like this happens, a horrific tragedy that upends so many lives, it puts a lot of things into perspective.

Agreed. I was talking to my girlfriend and said the same thing last night. I felt sixk about Hunter who i had met a few times.
The two idiots on this thread have a lot of growing up to do bit are likely beyond help. Get some perspective and take it somewhere else.

Such sad news. I feel gutted this morning feeling for his family and child.
There has just been way too many accidents in the past year. Lots of injuries to drivers and horses and now a death of a driver. Honestly, there needs to be some changes. At some tracks, drivers play dangerous games, the drug use is out of hand and the claiming game needs to stop. Horses changing barns way too frequently is just wrong and there needs to be changed made regarding the claiming game. It's not good for the horse to go from trainer to trainer constantly and some trainers should be banned from racing!
Drivers playing games and making "breaks" to take themselves out of the race based on odds is a big one! It's happening way too frequently now. It's dangerous. Too much focus on the odds and betting is a problem in racing. How about making it about the horse? This is just all so frustrating. Also, this lying back to where they are almost flat behind the horse needs to stop. Drivers can't react fast enough because they can't see what's in front of them! Also, what about seat belting these guys in? Just a thought ..don't know if that would be safe but a lot of guys are being thrown like rag dolls when an accident happens.
I turned off all harness racing last night after hearing the news. I could have made some money last night but couldn't stomach watching or betting on harness racing. Changes need to be made!
RIP Hunter
-
So sad to hear. Seemed like such a nice young guy with a promising future, both in racing and with a wife and young child. So tragic. RIP.
-
RIP, another name on the list of gone way to soon.
-
very sad
never saw the race but sounded like a bad crash
we know bad stuff can happen and drivers get injured, break a leg, get a concussion etc but you never really expect the worst like in this case
-
Tragic. My condolences to his family and friends.
-
Sadly I just heard the news although I seen the Hunter Myers thread last night and by scrolled by as I figured it was another thread ripping on someone. Sadly 99% of the stuff on here is negative about someone and cutting them down. RIP young man. Just awful
-
Exactly some of you motherfuckers are fucked in the head. A young man loses his life and you start talking about Mike, He called you out and he is 100 percent right. Go and talk about him on the 2,000 other threads you created but doing that on this is pretty fucked.
-
Shocking & horrible news. My condolences to Hunters family & friends. RIP
-
Rest in peace, Hunter. Condolences to his family and friends.
-
Very tragic news, never met the boy but a friend of mine really respected his driving. My heart goes out to his loved ones. RIP Hunter.

I agree both should be banned from ever posting again on this site. You to go play your high school games somewhere else. This is the worst tragedy in the sport since Shelly’s accident
-
The sport also lost Dave Dunckley after Shelley.
-
Also Hal Belote
-
I was at Harrington the night Hal Belote was killed. Ron Pierce's horse actually won the race, but they declared it a no contest after the race.

also lost on the racetrack were Henri Filion and Wayne Smullin
RIP to Hunter and condolences to his family--kid was in his 20s, that is horrible

I was watching the race at home--i was sick to my stomach
it was considered a no contest
I doubt Ron Pierce was driving on a Monday afternoon for a tiny purses
Brandon Givens had a compound leg fracture-possibly leading to his opioid addiction
Steve Warrington-his best friend- escaped with scrapes and bruises--was never the same mentally and retired soon after
Brad Hanners was also in the race not seriously injured
-
He had been driving regularly at Dover the past few years and was driving at Harrington on Mondays. As I recall it was the 1st race of the night and the purse was somewhere around $12,000.
-
Spare a thought to the owners/trainer/driver for the horse that broke that caused the chain reaction. This type of thing goes on with regularity and without any problem to the others in the race. I feel bad for those people because it just happened to result in a death.
This is part of the sport but I bet they are feeling sick to their stomachs.

I was thinking about this yesterday. Connections to the horse that broke have to be quite sick over what happened. Accidents happen but still. This can't be easy for them.

you may be correct
Delaware purses had just received a big boost from gaming so the purses were relatively good at that time
I can recall Luc Ouellette winning 6 or 7 races every card until he left
I do not recall Pierce driving at Harrington other than the Quillen-but my memory isn't what it once was so you are probably correct
Steve Warrington was one of my all time favorites and a very classy guy
made a big score when Vankirk won his Battle of Brandywine
when Sannabelle Island had her 23 race win streak snapped in the Shalee at M1(she finished 3rd boxed in)--Steve took full blame for the drive--she was also a tad sick earlier in the week
-
We have some winner circle pictures of Hunter from the few times we won with him on the occasion we raced in Ohio......never a complaint except when he picked off one of our horses which seldom happened. We started with him when he was a young driver and never regretted it. If it is true the good
die young and this incident tends to prove that; what does it say about us old "coots" who are still hanging on? Our thoughts to all at this time.

I've driven in a couple races where bad accidents occurred. Even though my horse never caused the initial reaction I couldn't help but think what if. What if I had stayed on the rail. What if I had pulled sooner. What if I had gone to the front. But in reality, unless you go out there with the sole intention of causing a crash, there's really no fault. It's a dangerous sport and we all know the risks. But it certainly doesn't make it any easier.
-
If not for the hubless rail there would be alot more accidents.
-
There is no blame for this horrible accident. It was an accident. Fortunately this is a very rare occurrence in harness racing. It’s not handholds when tens of thousands of race are contested without this outcome. It’s not the owner, it’s not Dave. It’s just tragic. I’m sure everyone involved feels terrible without any negative comments. Be thankful for life and appreciate others.
-
Only thing to blame for the wreck is the horse on the lead. Not Dave or any other human to blame. Many guys walk away after nasty wrecks. I think we all wish we could change the outcome of this one.

Pierce only drove at Harrington on Mondays that one spring meet because he also did alot of hunting in the area.
-
Might be time to check the posture rules
Go back to old school Sit up straight and no bouncing the bike
-
Back in the old days some of the drivers used to rock the bike alot to keep the horse going in the stretch.
-
Yes they did rock the bike But at least sitting up straight they
could see what was going on around them and have a much better reaction time to the situation going on around them
-
Reading above the replies about the trainer/owner/driver I imagine if that was me, I would be devastated because I wouldn't be at fault or anyone else it is so traumatic for the family and for those close to Hunter and those he drove against and the trainers who used him to name a few.
Hope he is in heaven and is driving up there.
RIP
-
This tragedy reminds of Lou Mellert at Northfield in 1987 when Lou died. Bill Zentz's horse broke in front and it made Lou fly off his bike and hit his head on the hub rail. All of these accidents are tragic. Fans don't realize the risks these drivers take every race sitting behind a 1200lb animal going at high speed with nothing to keep them in the bike.
-
The sport also lost Dave Dunckley after Shelley.
Let's also not forget the best of all of them that sadly met their fate on the track.
Billy Haughton
-
I believe Northfield also lost Howard Snyder. Horse on lead entering first turn stuck his toes in if i recall just as Mr Snyder settled in behind him. Eighties i believe.
-
There was a man: Forrest Short who died from injuries suffered in accident
at Scioto in 1975. 81 yrs old. Was the leading driver there in 1960 [would have been 66 then]
I wanna say he was Marty Wollam's grandpa. Definitely related.
