A gypsy who found a home in Delaware after Gasmeyer taught him how to train via chemicals!

Just watched the replay on xpressbet and at the 3:20 mark you see Cody bring his horse to the paddock and then get off the horse and go after someone. If this is true Berry should be gone for a year. I hope Cody beat his ass!

Berry is a bust out from Illinois if his uncle wasn’t Randy Jacob’s he would be working at Mcdonalds
-
Right after Cody went over you quickly see 5 or 6 people from the paddock area follow quickly to intercede followed by several more, you then see Cody wanting to go back over but chances are he was held back and no punches were thrown.

What makes you think he can get a job there?
-
Cody's grandfather was a Fishman distributor.

josh marks got ridiculed by gural for going after Whittemore and banned. He was better driver than Bartlett, Stratton. When he was at yonkers he received all the calls to drive over bartlett, and Stratton.
-
Started making some money finally and feels he's untouchable, I guess. Let's see what happens. Corey doesn't play around with these fools!

Jimmy whittemore from Vernon?
-
yes
-
It definitely looks like Poliseno was ticked off and going after someone, but I didn’t see anything intentional here . Five horses in close corners and when Berry went to hit his horse he might have brushed Poliseno. BTW a bunch of very slow horses
-
I don't see Olsen driving any since his escapade with Braden last year! Whipping that guy in the face after the race. Even though Braden went after him.

It was his uncle. tmbz1

A bit off topic, but, having always felt Jack Gallagher was an excellent announcer, he has really lost his way in the last year or two. Some say he is 80 or thereabouts. Time to turn over the mic.

Josh Marks was never a better driver then those two. He just steered. It was all gas for him

Yeah it’s time for Jack to call it a career. He is clueless in most races with several seconds of dead air in every race. Confused on what horses are in what position. I loved his race calls growing up. He has had a great career, but it’s time.

Are things any different from then to now??

I guess you don't remember that bartlett and stratton ratted on josh for answering his cell phone in the sulky at Yonkers

NOPE

Jack is 81 years old and has trouble keeping up plus his eyesight isn't very good, unfortunately he's always gambled and probably can't afford to retire..

Problem is who can ypu get to fill his shoes? But I do agree its time to retire and head to Florida and join Sweet in picking 10 cent supers! ngc3
-
i already weighed in on this
josh was destined to top tier
as a 7 year old he sat on the fence pretending to be a driver
when older he was average at best
then came/// the rest of the story
would never have been a bartlette or stratton
that was a crazy comet to make
js
forgive my misspellin,, dementia settin in
i was told this last week in person,,, ngc3

The 2 possibilities are Mike Bozich from Chester or James Witherite from Rosecroft who lives near Dover. He's the editor of Hoofbeats Magazine too but probably works remotely. The announcer job in Delaware has way more dates than the other two tracks.

Get the fuck otta here. Never better than Stratton or bartlett
-
James is accurate but his calls are pompous, which I suspect reflect his personality. “ they are at the apex of the turn”. Really, James? “ Entering the winner’s enclosure “. Is this Royal Ascot, James?
-
at the time trainers were putting him up before Jordan and Jason. because were thinking of Manzi vouching for him at the time.

Look at all the announcers today.
And you worry about his race calls?
Makes you wonder about things in harness racing today.

I actually like the apex of the turn.
I believe buffalo raceway doesn’t have a winner’s circle enclosure.
How would he describe this??
-
Those words aren't part of the everyday gambler's vocabulary, but I mute most announcers anyway even in sports.
-
Last 2 big whips slashes by Berry (2) must of made contact with Poliseno (6).
They were as hard as could be, so contact, is gonna leave a mark ngc3
Clever if he can get away that it was an accident ngc3
-
JWR would be a great replacement for Jack! He may be a little quirky, but a nice guy and loves racing! tmbz1
-
JWR..Good announcer if he would just announce. But he over does it from time to time. Little quirky is being nice. But he's a nice guy. He had the perfect gig at Chester. Wonder what happen?
Problem is he has a lot of other tuff going on and I don't think he could commit year-round with just a couple months off.

-
Cody probably had it coming.
-
JWR had some music interests he was following. Not sure if he’s still doing music or not. If he could announce full or part time it would be an improvement.

I just watched the replay again and that shit was so obvious. He laced him in the back twice hard as hell.

Nah, them slashes won't even leave a mark or hurt at all while wearing their safety vest,,

Likely made contact with the back side of the upper left arm too.
Not "nah, "yeh ngc3

JW, formerly known as JWR, is an excellent race caller and a very nice guy. He always seems to have a lot on his plate with horses, golf, music and hockey among other projects. I like his creative "quirkyness" for the most part. The main exception being his insistance on calling the markers where the rail used to be "pegs." I'd enjoy hearing him someplace full time. tmbz1

He's also the editor of Hoofbeats Magazine.i
-
Josh was showboating at Vernon against drivers like Joe Nassimos, to compare him to JB is ludicrous.
-

Used to play in a Jazz band. Not sure if he still does. Plus has his own production company 412 communications.

Xpress bet link to see HUMAN WHIPPING VIOLATION......lo l
-
That Kid was Screaming and Cussing Berry The whole mile You could hear him from the paddock gate !!! Had slow fractions he should of dropped in a hole Maybe ... Watched him get off the bike and was still cussing great for the family sitting at the side gate watching not to mention his father was out there as well THREATENING TO KICK BERRY'S ASS ...What a GREAT REPRESENTIVE FOR THE DSOA BOARD and YET Nobody wants to mention how the kid whipped Berry's Horse ....
-
Always said to take away the 11.wp.
Point and case right there. Nit only do they brutalized the horse now they're stupid enough to use it on each other.
Bunch of pussys. Use your hands and be a man!
-
Watched the replay. Clear as day that Berry whipped very wide so that he would hit Polisino first.
Lengthy suspension coming up for Berry
-
Please post link to watch whipping of Poliseno

Plug in 6/17/26, Race 7 in Replays.

Berry was just pissed Poliseno hung the whole mile still went by him. Looks like he got him on the shoulder and maybe arm. But it was blatant as he never touched the horse until he knew Poliseno was going by!
That's a 30-day vacation in my book. But nothing will come from it because it's Berry. Now if it was the other way around. They crucified Poliseno!
Fact
-
Isn’t Pat Berry left-handed? Certainly had the whip in his left hand until at least the last turn. Switching to the right hand in the stretch adds premeditation to motive. Thank you, the prosecution rests its case.
-
Yes he is lefty. And if memory serves me right is this not his second offense for whipping another driver ?
-
Not sure if it is true or not, but when Pat started out driving in IL. the story was that while attending Harvard he pitched baseball both left and right handed.
Thats Harvard IL. high school.
-
All I know is I can't wait for the next time they are on together!
Should be a pay per view!

heard 60 day suspension , heard it here first !
-
I hope you are right!
-

Good! Pat is an asshole. Still wish he would’ve gotten his ass kicked!
-
And the verdict is.........the hearing was today.....
-
He was off all his drives tonight.
-
Pat Berry was a chump in Illinois and continues to be a chump in Delaware.
-
They should have given Cody five free shots to Pat! When I knew Pat at yonkers he always seemed like an arrogant fuck who i didn't think could drive lmao. He was always his own biggest fan ngc3.
-
Any official rulings from the hearing?
-
He was off all his programmed drives last night so I'm guessing he got suspended, someone on here mentioned 60 days, don't know if that's accurate or not.

Serves him right. What a fucking asshole Pat is. Don't get mad Pat, maybe your anger management classes will get you straight. Or maybe some medication. Best medication would've been an ass whipping from Cody after the race. Didn't want any parts of that, did you tough guy?
-
From want I saw on the video, several people followed Cody over and probably stopped him before he could even throw a punch.

Probably a good thing. Would've just gotten himself in trouble. Glad Pat is gone!

Do you think Berry's suspension will be noted tomorrow on the USTA fines and suspension's?

Berry sucks A Bobby Glassmeisers cock

And Traci Berry licks other gals snatch.

Where will he be until then?
Ocean Downs? Closest landing?

He won't be driving anywhere but his wife Tracy whose listed as trainer for their horses and has been for years is using other drivers on their horses but alot of them are resting right now.

.
She's using whoever is available. Most of their horses ran the entire meet at Dover and did well and a lot of them are getting a freshening right now, plus Harrington's eet closes in 2 weeks and then there's a 5 week break before they reopen, so the timing is actually good for Pat's suspension .
-
Wow!! What a faggot move by Berry
-
Should be a barn improvement with him off the drives. ngc3
-
Cody should have laid Pat out on the track. I'm sorry if a guy on purpose whipped me in the back.. fuck my license its on! Kudos to Deleware for taking action. Although to be honest if you just watch the race you may not even pick up on it
-
The commission definitely sent Berry a clear message. Money and days, and if it happens again while on probation. he could get a year or more.

Plug in Harrington june 17 and r7
Berry #2 @ 6-1 odds. DEFINITELY GOT POLISENO WITH THE LATE WHIP...But i'll ask as you watch replay, Berry gumming up the early #6 and #4 'give and go', hanging them BOTH out. Is it possible Berry just didnt like the early 'script' that was cooked up? Because how else can u explain Poliseno #6 hung almost every step at 7-2 actually hung on to win. Thats a fade out of top spot 99 times out of 100.
And this was hardly a super horse
It was a rotten race
-
Who knows why Berry did what he did, but the suspension is a stiff one, and on his record, and if it happens again, he could be gone for a long time
-
This pales in comparison to Ken Devaux slashing Greg Annaloro in the face during a race at Monti years ago.
-
Nothing beats the Zorro slash Braden got in Virginia last year after a race. That was hilarious! ngc3
-

Got what he deserved. A sure he was arrogant to the judge is also trying to justify his dumb ass actions.
-
Not definitive look can’t really see it but the driver that was slashed by a whip didn’t even flinch??
Remember Rick Zeron with his zero slash in the winner circle?
-
It was good to see they did something. Robert Corey does what he wants in delaware and I just figured he would do nothing to Mr. Berry. You should have to be successful to become a steward. Delaware has terrible horseman as stewards.
How actually do you become a steward? No need for a good resume because Robert Corey has quite the rap sheet.
-
Onething for sure. Since Corey arrived as presiding judges the boys have tighten up! Now, if he can just get the racing for second taken care of! It has become so apparent that its embarrassing 😳
