Title: Amateur Drivers
Post by: Birdfantammy on May 28, 2026, 10:33:47 AM
When will enough be enough of this amateur drivers crap?

Last night, last race at Ocean Downs...just watch this one.   Stacey M hooks wheels with Scofield and goes down.  Announcer tells drivers and alerts medical personnel for down horse on the track.  Then mentions LOOSE HORSE ON TRACK and stops calling the race saying it will be a no contest.   Watch these morons continue to race...Wisher, Sheridan and Robinson specifically.  What really gripes my ass is watch Sheridan whip his horse to get past horses after it has been called a no contest!   WTF!  These guys should all be fined and suspended.   I haven't posted in here in a while because I stopped betting harness races.  I occasionally watch to see what is going on.   I had it on last night.  This was also the 2nd accident last night at Ocean.   Bad stuff all around.

Stacey is actually a decent amateur driver.

I didn't notice them flashing until they passed the 3/4 pole.

Maybe tracks should use a yellow light to exercise caution but keep going and red for a no contest and pull up.
