180 days and $12,000 in fines for whipping at Monticello.
-
He's done. Who's gonna use him IF he could pay the fines and keep his license? I'd say
best thing for him overall. He's tried and failed. Time to move on and find a steady job.
-
Couldn't be happier to see this asshole get handed 120 days! I'm hoping they revoke his license PERMANENTLY. Horse abuser and he beats on women...needs to go away PERMANENTLY!
-
I hear he's back driving
-
the Judges have referred Dan Rawlings to the Commission for a determination as to his character and fitness to hold a racing license in the State of New York.

Well, he is down to drive a bunch Tuesday and Wednesday at Monticello so I guess they haven't determined anything yet.

Seriously can't understand how he gets out of these suspensions. He got out of the last one. Never served a day of it. Said "stayed". Wtf is he doing to get out of it??? Kissing someone's ass or has one hell of a lawyer. Monticello kisses his ass. They love him there. Makes me gag. One reason I stopped playing Monti. I noticed he stopped driving at Saratoga. Guess they don't want him there. Only place he has been driving is Monti and Tioga (the other shit hole)
-
Stayed just means it's under appeal. He didn't beat it.
-
Look at some of these other drivers were 30 to 40 fines a year for excessive use of the whip and what about the guys getting fined for kicking a horse it just depends on who you are

And I thought Ceba was the worst of the worst...

He ain't never coming up with 12k and his camp will drop him like a bad habit the same way he would do them

Look im no Rawlings fan dating back to his meadows days. What i will say is he wont stiff your horse he wants to win. I havent seen an "abusive" drive out of Dan. I think this is a case of they dont like him and unfortunately this does happen. If you're not liked judges will make your life hell and do what they can to force you to leave. Dan isn't a fit in the crowd and kiss kind of guy and thats OK. Trust me look back at my posts I'm no Dan fan but in this case I feel bad for him I think its absolutely bull shit. Yea I get the three strike and pause but most cases he was in contention to win and almost did. He clearly moved in and pissed some people off at Monti.
-
He’s a horse abuser. Please stop sticking up for scumbags! He won’t stiff your horse, but he will beat the fuck out of it doesn’t sound like a good trade-off.

Id rather have a guy hit one trying to win than have a sack of potatoes get beat because he's sleeping.
-
Rawlings is a scumbag hack
-
7 violations within a 365 day period. Can't count to three and people are still making excuses for him. The rule is the rule. And you fucking idiots wonder why you're losing a track every six months. ngc3

There is a huge difference between trying to wake one up and what that piece of shit does. Get a clue. He is a horse whipping piece of shit! Has absolutely no natural ability. That’s why he has to whip the shit out of them.

Not sure about them.. I never understood why, but some of you east coasters on here might..why they handle surprisingly well. Ive never understood that. My only guess was always the early post time. Not much competition.

name recognition is a part of it
just the " Monticello" is a familiar name for the few thousand of us remaining who actually still watch and bet
otherwise i cannot figure it out
-
Many of us grew up with Monticello. I must have been there personally a couple of hundred times.
Keep in mind. There is no casino there. Purses are low but mostly supported by handle which is non existent these days.
If you have been weaned on Monti and Yonkers, like me, you likely abandoned Yonkers years if not decades ago.
I stopped Monti a few months back, not because I was losing there, but there is so much inbred racing that I don't need headache. And there are a couple of "rail for sale" guys that turn my stomach.
-
Amen. All drivers there are in a “click” or related
And can’t stand Dan is driving circles around them all .
-

I would pay to watch that!
-
There are plenty and I mean plenty of drivers still hacking away at horses on the daily yet Rawlings repeatedly gets called out on it while they keep on driving without a single fine. It’s BS and he’s singled out, period. If they want to stop all this “abuse” take the whips the fuck away. End of problem. Take his license away they better start taking everyone’s away.

I grew up at Momticello, so I still love it! As do many others!

No more whips. Force the drivers to use their hands and their brains. If they have either, they will do fine.

You gotta be kidding me Dan can’t drive a circle around the trashcan

Dan likes to hit everything

I watched the replay of the second violation with Icarus Lobell and didnt see much wrong except if he kept whipping after the wire which the video cut off. Still not like the old days. Anyone remember Tony Dandeo at Freehold? 😂
-
Just saw that he was denied a license in NY! ngc3 ngc3 ngc3 tmbz1 tmbz1 tmbz1 ;D ;D ;D
Does that mean he is done for good? Hope so!

Unless you are dead, there is no such thing as done for good in harness racing.

The brains part made me chuckle a bit.

Isn't there some connection with Rawlings and one of the Sowers? McGuire's stable is doiing very well, and he's one of the leading drivers there. I don't see Rawlings getting any live drives there.

Was with the daughter
