Mike is not an easy interview. Kind of a man of few words, LOL. Look at the way he retired. Like him or not, I will say he was probably the most intense, competitive, and tenacious driver I've ever been around.

Yes he could drive. He could also abuse the fuck out of a horse with the whip and leave more scars on a stifle than your daddy did you as child.

Oh a threat? 40 Park Place Apt 9 Goshen NY 845-703-0504. Don't think I know Joe? He was at Golden Shoe when nowhere else would take him, he knew Grasso. By the time I shut him the fuck up he was tossed. Now you go right ahead and tell that cocksucker who thought he was cute making like he would run my legs over while I was working under the water truck to come and find me anytime. He knows where the lines are drawn, the fuck wouldn't dare. And he knows why too.  tmbz1

Forgot to mention the nobody was driving a $500 black POS too.  ngc3

Joe is smart, but I don't agree with his politics in and around the sport and industry. I don't think he's objective and I don't think he's a collaborative problem-solver. But hey, that's JMO. LOL.

Thank you. I never had that kind of relationship with him and because we don't agree on a lot and we just don't talk politics our relationship would never get to that point. However, I take your word on it. I know him pretty well, but again it's just not that kind of relationship. I do know he helped out a friend of mine big time and that told me a lot about who Joe Faraldo is. He's a very good guy to have on your side, LOL.

You’re quite welcome.  Joe loves the game. He’s been around a long time.

Post by: Grandstand Handicapper on May 06, 2025, 02:47:02 PM
Everybody who has been in this sport/business knows Joe Guarino, LOL. The guy has been around forever. I was never friends with him, but you see someone around for a hundred years and you talk to them, get to know them a bit, etc. He's been hot and cold over the years, but I do kind of remember like 20 years ago when Tim Case and Tom Guido got barred from Monticello and I think Gural's tracks for EPO. Between PA and NY, I think they were both barred, being investigated, and so on.

Right around that time Guarino got barred from Monticello too. I don't know if it was EPO, milkshaking, or what.

How's it a secret when Brice Cote gave me permission to record "not that I needed it" at that same conference table? Credible witnesses don't need to remain anonymous while they HAVE to repeat the same fantasies for years to try and convince 50 people on the planet of their delusions. People who were tossed from the game for hurting horses and cheating with drugs. At what point will you realize what I do is just a tad higher on the pole than HORSEPLOP.  ngc3 ngc3 ngc3 ngc3 ngc3 ngc3 ngc3 Look how triggered and desparate you are. You lower yourselves to using family and children to "win". Well is it working? I'll wait. And in a year you'll still be here like a coward. I'll still be doing whatever I please! Next...

I emailed Larry and asked him to have Brice Cote on his show. That would be interesting as Brice is a seasoned law enforcement officer and of course has been leading the Meadowlands' (and Gural's) efforts against illegal drug use and other criminal activities. He's been on the job for over 10 years now. Prior to his official position with the Meadowlands, Brice of course was the Chief Detective in the Racetrack Unit for the New Jersey State Police for a decade.

As everyone knows, Brice played an integral role in the Bourgault indictment and worked closely with Orange County DA David Hoovler. Brice also helped the veterinarian who euthanized the horse go through the process and get the information into the hands of the proper authorities. Being in an official capacity and having stature and credibility in the industry, obviously this vet allowed Brice to advise her and assist her in reporting this tragic incident to the NY Gaming Commission, the proper authorities and the DA. Thankfully Brice also being in charge of these efforts at a NY track gave him complete credibility. Apparently Cote also called his connections at the NY State Police as well. I guess it helps being a former State Police Detective! LOL.

Apparently the police and the DA's office relied upon Brice a great deal and he worked with them closely on this. During the investigation the horse was exhumed and a necropsy was performed and as a result of this and the entire investigation Bourgault was indicted.

I for one would love to see Brice on Larry's show!

Joe is smart, and while a lot of people may not agree with his politics, I for one would like to see him more of a collaborative, resolution oriented, rather than comative. Everybody plays to their part, but someone has to start, LOL. But again, that's JMO. LOL.

I asked you an honest question and this is your reply. In other words you have no good answer.  So in your world if you get 100 people from this forum to stable at Dreamland 90 of the hundred are " cunts, scum, keyboard warriors, pussies" etc..  I might not know to much, but my family and I were in the game for over 50 years so I know a little. I also know basic math and that is not a great percentage. No wonder nobody on here doesn't like you except for 1 or 2 people.
