Plop has evolved over the years.  I was strictly a nameless lurker for a long time. Only posted on Barn to Wire.  Got involved here after BTW folded (RIP Jeanine) because some asshole started posting here under my BTW moniker.  I bitched and the powers that be (Nance?) killed the name.  Posted here as Mr Ontario for awhile becase I exclusively bet Woodbine and Mohawk when Illinois racing turned to shit.   Then one day the name stopped working for reasons unknown.  I wasn't banded or anything.  Moderators couldn't fix the issue so I became Mohawk mac simply because I'm a huge James MacDonald fanboy. tmbz1

Harness Racing / Re: Miami Valley vs Columbus
« Last post by rainman2 on Today at 12:48:53 AM »
https://www.ohiolottery.com/about/about-the-ohio-lottery/financial/vlt-revenue. Miami valley races less days and does way more slot revenue plus only 14 races a night where scioto downs will go with 16 races a night.  The more you slice a pie the smaller the pieces get.

And you're probably better off racing at Dayton than Scioto.  You get to race for more money and Scioto is a speedway.  Smart owners would have a fresh horse for Dayton and let the Scioto horses be more rundown.

The group of people who lead the battle is actually very small. But it's the right people. She busts her ass and it worked out today that I was the only person from the advocate side there. They never saw it coming. The union media man was furious. Too bad.

Agree
 Newbies think this place is a Sesame Street for bust out gamblers and think people are going to act prim and proper!

It is what it's ment to be. Not a gambling site!  But some think its their private playground and can act and talk like they want with no repercussions. Wrong!

If you can't take the heat then there's always the Hallmark channel to watch!

   Anderson, IN — Beginning on Friday (June 26), Harrah’s Hoosier Park horsepeople will see a purse increase go into effect on races for non-winners of a given amount of money in their last four starts, the third purse increase instituted for the 2026 racing season.

“This is the third phase of our targeted purse increase for the 2026 season,” said John DeLong, president of the Indiana Standardbred Association. “This comes after careful budgeting for the 160-day meet, and it’s something we hope to continue to build upon for our horsemen.”

This is the third 20% purse to be put into place in 2026, with that increase also impacting non-winners of a given number of races lifetime (both straight, and claiming), as well as Indiana-sired 2-year-old conditioned events receiving a 20% boost from Indiana Standardbred Breed Development this summer.

“We deeply appreciate both the Indiana Standardbred Association and Breed Development for their support as we implement these boosts to our purses,” said Gabe Prewitt, vice president and general manager of racing at Harrah’s Hoosier Park. “We also deeply appreciate our horseplayers. With their support ,handle was up 30% year-over-year in 2025, and we are already up another 10% in 2026, which has contributed greatly to drive purses forward.”

Your are correct. The battles between THT and I would never be allowed.
 I got a booted for calling Goldsheet Bob, Chalkdust Bob
 That's it. That mod who ran the place has passed away atleast that's what Calhoun told me. Lots of censorship if you weren't among the elite few. The place has turned into a free 4 all lately. But like I said I will defend myself. Like it or not!

The newbies on plop don't believe this was true!  It's a lot better in this regard, but I agree with you, it's a total free 4 all!  I'm the same way!  I'm going to defend myself too!  Plop isn't a popularity contest!  It was created to show different views and opinions without animosity.  This won't happen in the world we live in today because of some people in the world and the power of the internet makes the world a worse place rather than a better place.

Way to go.....Plopsters can post whatever they want anytime they want. The admins don't seem care what people post. You can put anyone you want on "ignore" whenever you want too! I have a few on "ignore" as i'm sure many of my fellow plopsters do also. So read the topics that you find interesting. And ignore the rest.

Many years ago, admin 'banned' people on plop because certain people were more privileged than others.  if you got into tete a tete with certain plopsters, you got the boot regardless of who was right/wrong!

FYI, it was just as 'vicious' years ago too!
