The announcer is a dumb fuck! ngc3
The drivers made a good move but some still urged their horses, clearly was going to be a...
NO CONTEST.

Never seen anything in my life like that! What the fuck was the track announcer looking at ! He couldn’t see a huge green tractor out of the corner of his eyes when the horses hit the 3qtr pole. Every horse and driver could have gotten killed there ! Unbelievable!

Will the 25k purse money get to go to everyone in the race evenly?

Where is the rebuttal from the MGGA (Make Goshen Great Again) crew ??...It's been awfully quiet since track maintenance tried to take out the 3yo fillies today.

Happened to me about 25 years ago.
I had one In at Ocean Downs one night and they went by the wire for the first time the tractor 🚜 came out on the backstretch and everyone had to go around it. Called it a no contest and split the purse 8 ways. I'm sure some local plopsters can testify to it.
True story

Every entrant should get a win check paid out of the pocket by GHT.

Goshen Racetrack should pay every horse in that race $12,500. The winning purse should go to all 8!
-
There's already one owner who is willing to make an example of this. Like the would have been winner who went from 12500 to 3125 because of two idiots hired by Steve Jones. And what about the person in charge of them, the "facilities manager" in charge of track maintenance.

Leon Bailey on FB:
First, everyone needs to relax.
I was a driver in the County Fair Finals race at Goshen Historic Track on the afternoon of September 6, 2026. During the race, a tractor and water truck were on the racing surface as the field came around the last turn. I was racing from the two hole and was the closest horse to the equipment. The clearance was approximately one foot.
No horse or driver was injured. The water truck cleared the track in time — it was faster and further ahead, with more time to respond. The tractor, slower and further back, could not maneuver as quickly. The field went around it and finished the race. The track split the purse equally among all eight horses. Everyone was compensated, and it was handled as well as it possibly could have been, all things considered. There are no victims here. I want to be clear about what I know and what I don’t. I do not know the cause of the incident, and I am not assigning blame to any individual. What I know is that drivers and trainers routinely navigate around tractors and water trucks during training sessions, and this is a normal part of track operations. The difference in a race is speed and positioning — horses are at full pace and drivers have limited ability to maneuver.
Howard Oil did absolutely nothing wrong. In my opinion, he acted professionally by not saying anything about the tractor and keeping the race call going. He doesn’t deserve any negativity thrown his way.
This was a mistake. Mistakes happen. I don’t want to see anyone villainized over this. The people on the track did a good job of avoiding it, and thankfully there were no accidents.
I believe this incident warrants a review of track protocols — specifically communication between the surface crew and the starter, and procedures to ensure the track is clear before a race begins and remains clear for the duration of the race. That review should be conducted calmly and professionally, based on facts, not speculation.
I am concerned that the public conversation has moved beyond the facts. Some participants are now claiming they would have won the race had the tractor not been there. I was in the two hole — the best position to win — and I did not have enough horse. Several other horses had a legitimate shot. These claims cannot be verified, and they turn a safety conversation into a grievance session.
I ask that everyone involved — drivers, trainers, track management, and the public — focus on preventing a recurrence rather than assigning blame or seeking retribution.

Leon Bailey, drives R2's horses well. tmbz1

His post is retarded, and ass kissing, scumbag, is factually incorrect too in many instances... ngc3

This should never happen and thankfully no one got hurt. A review needs to be done. It is an embarrassment for GHT and the sport.
A complete clown act!!!!!

How do these people even have a license to run races ? That was a total disgrace

OK, solved it...
Hey Mike, we know why G did not show up to meet you. He was driving the tractor for a good friend of his who got the shits after eating dinner with him two hours earlier

But there was a guy who mounted a dog instead and said "go tractor"....not G? ngc3

He can't reach the pedals in a tractor. Nor could he ever climb up into it.
Doing my part. Got GHT 26k views on TikTok! ngc3

Not a harness racing incident but fits the mold of what happened. Recently, a quarter horse race down south at a track running a quarter horse meet. Last race of the day, new ambulance driver. Guy is waiting by the chute where the races generally start. Realizes way too late the last race is around the hook. Decides to beat cheeks to try to get to the starting gate in time. Because he is not clued in at all, decided to drive along the inside rail...the wrong way. So instead of making his way to the gate by driving counterclockwise, he decided to save time. Wasn't enough though, he is still rounding the far turn when the field comes right at him. Oh and the announcer was really in no place to do much since the ambulance was well concealed by the rail.
The horses on the front end saw the danger with plenty of time and went way wide. The next horse in line along the rail therefore had some lead time and the jockey basically yanked his head off for the rarely used full gallop right turn. The last jockey on the rail probably shit himself, but had just enough time to avoid the head on collision.
So disaster was avoided...barely. And for those wondering...racin g horses don't seem to react to impending head on collision doom in the way you might expect. There are been more than a few head on collisions horse vs horse. and in nearly every case both horses die.
As for Howard Oil, I grew up going to the races at Monti and loved his race-calling. However, that was nearly 40 years ago and if you cant see a fucking tractor running second to a water truck down the stretch, it is time to hang them up. Not saying the drivers would have heard him, but like with loose horse on the track you have to give it a go,

You sound retarded.
Goshen's population isn't 20k.
The vid has nearly 4 times that.
Location of vid is irrelevant to the world at large.
You're thickening in the brain dude.
