Title: What a joke Scioto Downs racing has become 🙄
Post by: Checked Up on September 07, 2025, 05:00:12 PM
 Scioto is the only track in America faster than the Meadowlands now since the renovation of the track. They pace the 1st half in 52 in a speed dual and never come close to packing it in at the wire or if you get an unpresssurd half,  have the ability to come home in 52 on the chooch! What say you?. Is this track short like NFLD was or should the Epogen suppliers get all the credit 🤔?

Go measure the track, ask for it to be measured.

Why not just say your underlying gripe...

I can't win there as a horseman and or I can't win their as a gambler...

Nobody is coy here anymore, just fucking say it!   ;D

Does the time really matter? Turn off the timer and they still race 1 and a half laps over a REALLY nice track.  tmbz1

Somehow this story reminds me of Vernon Downs in N.Y.
It has always been a super-fast track and cheap horses' race there now. At one time good horses would ship there for a race or 2 to establish a fast lifetime mark.

If all the guys just filling races would quit they wouldn't be open long!
