Paulding County is a fucking dump

It's where the other 87 Counties in Ohio take their trash

Knowing Clegg's history, some are probably in two or three times.   ngc3  ngc3  ngc3

Don't know about that but you can bet they'll be in to go at Circleville this weekend.
They bash on him relentlessly, perhaps for good reason, but I will say it takes a lot of
work to take and race 12 horses clear up to the corner of the state.

Just watched the 10th, Nick over drove his horse and caused him to go off stride and pretty much walked across the wire dead last, the other horse he had in the race that just qualified in 59 flat at Northfield 4 days ago, was off stride for most of the race and probably finished in 2:10 at best.

Clegg ends up with one win, one 2nd, one 3rd. Not exactly blasting out of the blocks but
there will be several hundred more starts ahead for his horses by the time Lancaster wraps thing up in Oct.

other than being at the track--can anyone make a bet on these races?

Atleast 2yr Olds are limited to 1 start per day this year! tmbz1

No betting other than in person. In fact the number of fairs with pari-mutuals is dwindling,
as apparently the costs of paying the betting operations are going up and it doesn't make
it profitable to have betting at many. Still, let's face it, Ohio is LIGHT YEARS ahead of other
states with their fair program. The free live streaming and programs are nice and it's fun
to see how you would have done, had you been there.

Ohio has always had a great county fair program. It's where all my families horses did most of their racing back in the day. Good times!! I believe Bitter is correct, that only wagering is on track with the exceptions of Delaware and the state fair races are at Scioto.

JT hit the nail square on the head! I now look forward to Ohio fair season the same way I looked forward to summer vacation as a kid! If you do a bit of "homework " prior to race day, there is definitely money to be made. I attended about 7 fairs lest summer and  was able to double my bank roll (including expenses) with ease. If you pay attention to the probable playoffs and bet accordingly,you will be able to prevent betting against your own money. A keen eye for quality horse flesh is also essential i.m.o.! Good luck to all those who thrive gambling into a pool full of inexperienced horse players!! tmbz1

Fairs in Ohio used to be a place where the little guy could race ones that aren’t stakes caliber, have fun and maybe make a little money.  Guys now will win a $40k Sire Stake on Saturday and drop them in the fair Tuesday for a training mile while stealing a few grand.  Beaver, AMac, Weaver, etc jamming these things in.  Hell even Virgil will do it toward the end of year to see if he can get points and grab another $20k in Fair Final

2 wins   2 2nd's  and a third for Clegg. On to Circleville Sat

15 races both Sat + Sun at Circleville . Clegg has 7 in each day. I'm sure most coming off
racing at Paulding [June 9th +10th] but I'm sure he wishes he could have snuck in another
start for them before this weekend. You have to make sure they're tight. ;D

Is OHHA broadcasting the fairs?

Absolutely. I think every one of them, even when they have multiple fairs racing on a certain day.
 Programs too. tmbz1
