All scratched tonight. Race 2 says trainer under suspension when it said judges earlier. Race 4 still says judges. I didn't see any suspensions listed. Anyone know what's going on?
-
They ran 2 horses at Meadowlands last weekend, Beat Cop who won and Effingham who finished 2nd.
-
Saw that, but now listed as under suspension. Where is Kirby with some info?
-
No rulings on Pathway going back to last May
-
Hold on..I'm in the paddock...Let me snoop around!
-
Crissy Crissman-Bier, very good looking woman.
I bet y'all would kill to sniff her farts.
The time Kirby gets the 411 it will of been reported on the USTA or someones sm...Keep hitting refresh Kirby....this is what we put up with this dink for - Delaware Harness news.... ;D

Crissman-bier… shady as fuck all day long !
I believe its mostly Sean and his Georgy Nap connection thats shady.
-
I'm old enough to remember all those Biers. Chuckie, Lonnie, and Darryl. Raced many times at the "Mighty M".

How did you blend in your top secret plop mission agent pigeon vagina, manure ngc3
All this sensing and believing, in the meantime was live racing, you're allegedly on track go see the judges, afraid? ngc3

Crissman-bier… shady as fuck all day long !
Whole operation winning at a high percentage for several years now. Really got hot around the same time Chuck did this meet. What a coincidence.
-
Daryl got hot when he went to Pompano and hooked up with some $$ owners. He was struggling in Delaware and couldn't get drives. Then a few years later he comes back and has gas and top horses. I'm assuming it was the Fishman recipes.
Sean follows and falls into the Crissman scene and the rest is history.
Sean can't drive a hot nail thru a snowball! He tried when he got here and realized that. So Crissy saved him and gave him the keys to the farm. Sorta speaking

Don't know if you're aware or not but Darryl died of a heart attack in 2024 at age 57.

They seem to have fewer horses this year than in years past and aren't winning anywhere near the % they had been the past few years and now this surfaces.
-
not sure if I recall this correct....didn't one of the Biers have a nice horse named Bandolito about 10-15 years ago?
.... might have won like 8-10 in a row mostly at Dover running through his conditions
believe it was Sean
-
It was actually Daryl and it was in 2015, alot of his wins were at Harrington.

great, thanks tmbz1
my memory isn't completely shot yet--i had bet him several times consecutively but the prices were short
just found this....
Bandolito was a highly accomplished Standardbred pacer in the mid-2010s, best known as a fast, high-class competitor primarily on the Delaware circuit. He was a brown gelding sired by Ponder out of Sodys Home Brew.
Key Facts and Highlights
Trainer/Driver: Daryl Bier trained and frequently drove Bandolito.
Fastest of 2015: In March 2015, Bandolito recorded a 1:48.1 mile at Dover Downs, which was the fastest time in North America at that point in the season.
Record Match: On April 3, 2014, he equaled the all-track record at Dover Downs with a 1:48 victory.
Career Performance: He was known for his incredible speed, with Bier once noting he had "gears I've never seen". Throughout his career, he frequently won in the Open Pace and Delaware Special classes.
End of Career: Following a difficult trip in the Molson Pace on May 30, 2015, Bandolito sustained a spiral fracture in a training incident and was put down.
-
Don't know if you're aware or not but Darryl died of a heart attack in 2024 at age 57.
Correct. Daryl died two years ago. Daryl was a real character growing up. LOL. He wasn't the hardest working guy when he was working for his dad at the Meadowlands. Daryl had major accident about 10 years before he died and broke his pelvis, several ribs, and his back. He struggled for for a long time and was virtually forced to retire around 2017 or so after unsuccessful major back surgery. A couple of years later, he went for another surgery which was successful, and he was able to return to work. His first job back was actually training for Tony Alagna. He hooked up with Randy Ross and Randy gave him two horses. He and Jenny had three kids.
-
Didn't she wind up leaving him?
-
Didn't she wind up leaving him?
I don't know. I heard a rumor they were separated at one time, but I never heard anything from either of them first-hand. I do know when he came back to race at the Meadowlands, she was with him. Not sure what that means about their relationship, LOL.
-
Dirty people for years, finally caught up to them. Many more to come stay tuned.
-
How can this subject be dead already.....
Truth comes out tomorrow morning
-
If it's a lengthy one who's going down as the Sacrificial lamb?(Beard)
Or will Chuckies stable just get bigger?

I played hookie in school
Didn't think I'd ever need to know Howard Taylor history when I got older.
-
Not a surprise. You cheat, you get punished. Severely I say. Period.
-
she filed an appeal. does she get to race during appeal? what do we think the date will be she starts serving any days?(providing she can race under appeal)
-
Tuesday races were already drawn before they were notified. Their appeal did not get placed until Thursday. Nothing was entered for Wed and Thur because they knew they would be scratched. Now appeal has been posted they should be able to enter and race until it's heard. The appeal is just a stall tactic to buy time to move horse's around and line up new beard. There's really no way they can win the appeal since the split came back positive as well. But crazier things have happened in Delaware. This happened at Harrington, so they have plenty time to get their ducks in a row!

it wasn't appealed until yesterday. now they can race right? and continue to lie, steal and cheat other horseman and the betting public making a mockery of the sport.

Then chuck will have more horses to play with.

No surprise Sean is serving a major suspension. His father Artie was one of the biggest criminals to ever set foot at a racetrack. His brother Daryl was a dirty piece of shit drug addict who killed more horses than just about anyone.
-
Artie Bier was driving at Dover along with fellow thief, Gerard Baldachino during the single shaft sulky era, both were winning at a high % on odds on favorites because they bet so much.

With Chucky out in Vegas doing the betting for everyone.

What was the violation? Drug?
-
Hope the appeal does not take as long as the one listed this week for “act of cruelty to a horse”. On 9 17 2023.
-
Been winning millions the past few years out of nowhere. Took long enough and I’m sure this is not their secret recipe to make them go. Just a different factor they got caught on.
-
Let’s look for the new name listed and it will be business as usual. Big shocker, PT stable will need to find their next cheat to put up.
-
Even before this happened their stable was much smaller this year than in year's past and their winning % was much lower.
-
They've been trying to deal with the Crissmans since 1997!
https://law.justia.com/cases/federal/appellate-courts/F3/239/357/636147/
Just think of how much money they have stolen in the ensuing 30 years!
-
What a sin......
-
they won their court case because dover downs and delaware were considered one and the same. Therefore excluding them would be denying them "due process"
that win gave them 30 years to not only collect welfare from the state but steal more than their fair share.
despicable

You did the crime now do the time! Been sticking it up the local horsemans ass for years and I have no sympathy for you! You are the actual trainer and everyone knows it. Glad judges are stepping up to rid the vermin that's taking the sport down by trying to beat the system every step at a time!

Why should anyone feel sorry for them.....

Tell the truth....lol...im possible

Funny how there's no Howard Taylor involvement.

Quit your bitching and do the time. You'll find a beard that DHRC will approve and it will be business as usual. Just like Wyatt going to Chuck and sure more are on the way.
