Its time to petition for the removal of Joe Faraoldo and Russell Williams, from the USTA. They are not in place for the betterment of the industry. They are functioning to serve themselves.
-
It’s true about Faraldo for sure. Gural wrote in HRU that he met with Faraldo asking him to bury the hatchet and find some way to move forward together. Gural reported Faraldo totally rejected Gural’s offer. This is just another example of how Faraldo wants to be king and not change so many bad policies that his buddy at the USTA supports.

Faraldo is Williams puppet. But the people are beginning to speak. Hanovers sales are sliding away. The Standardbred Sales company and off, and the industry is begining to realize that supporting these clowns must stop. The grass roots must take hold and run these guys out on a rail.

You are right on point again X! I agree 100%! tmbz1

Get a copy of the USTA bylaws and see what getting him removed entails. I'm sure between all of us and our social media we could put some heavy pressure on them for removal.

Joseph A. Faraldo, President! So much for the SCM constant bashing of Faraldo!
Stick to kissing Edita's ass Mike although that's going to get you anywhere as well.
I predict Mark Ford will also be easily reelected.

Ford already has been re-elected

I had no idea Old Guy, thanks for the update.
Again SCM you have become totally irrelevant. The constant bashing of Mark, Ray and Joe was just a total waste of everyone's time including yours. When are you going to learn.
Congratulations Mark, Joe and Ray!

I think that Joe Faraldo might be well intentioned over the years, but i think a change might be good for the future of harness racing.

Gaagoots- please tell me, you're playing stupid...
You had to of known that no one had the balls to run against Ford. Business as usual, so they think. It won't last, and ppl like Ford will be the downfall

CHANGE is the only GOOD for the abbreviated survival of the sport.

on the subject of the USTA rules. This is a perfect example of good old fellas- playin' insiders. They sit on regional committees and call ALL of the shotz. This year, members of the association spent time to develop and submit suggested modifications. Of the 30+ submissions, only half met the royal tribunals; approval. Fact is, every idea was sent in by dues paying members. Now just why do a handfull of morally superior boardmen make any decision? These interested parties obviously saw a need and drafted a change. The only thing that the board oughta do is review and then rewrite to meet rule understanding and enforcement.

Well said. And this is why UNTIL the old guard is changed, Harness racing will die at they're hand. They're not willing to change and shall only continue to operate in the corrupt manner they have known and groomed. Russell Williams is as corrupt as they come!

And sadly the dues paying members vote them back in every time

Talked with Joe Thompson at Winbak Farms many years ago. Very simple, breeders won't bitch (although knowing full well what is going on) because nobody buys their babies. Been down this road with the chainsaw salesman Fred Noe, Phil (Fuck Up) Langley and others with the USELESS TWATTING ASSOCIATION.
The cheaters must protect the cheaters.
Honest Ronnie Burke and Andy Miller race where ngc3 ngc3 ngc3

This because they dont feel theyre votes matter. If everyone stopped paying there dues, watch how quickly you would get their attention.
