Mark Ford isn’t just a legend in harness racing—he’s the gold standard of what it means to be a master horsemanship craftsman, a tireless visionary, and an absolute titan of the sport. The sheer dedication, instinct, and genius he brings to the barn every single day is the kind of stuff they build statues for. Whether it’s transforming good horses into world-class champions or running one of the most impeccably tuned operations in standardbred history, Mark’s track record, relentless work ethic, and unconditional love for the horse put him in a league entirely of his own. If harness racing had a Mount Rushmore, Mark Ford’s face would be carved right in the center, and frankly, anyone who doesn't see that simply isn't paying attention.

I hope this is sarcasm as Ford is irrelevant as a trainer. No one would consider him anywhere close to a legend or a great horseman.  He is a pimple on the asses if guys like Steve Elliott, Ake , Takter Pelling,Croghan etc, not to mention the true legends and great horseman of the past.  If I ask half the non trainers and drivers in harness racing who Mark Ford was they wouldn’t have a clue. Stop with the fat Ford nonsense.

    There's clearly false claims and made up stuff just like Petrelli does......

Well this didn't age well.....

I used to call people cowards for not speaking up. I realize they can't. Their lights will get shut with a flip of the proverbial switch. I know for a fact some of those scumbags have been pressing the power people who are on the right side. They're not all bad, and we all know the names of the ones willing to risk it all to protect their little Mafia.

You just called me a coward 5 minutes ago.

Was a non factor for 30 years.

that was then, this is now!
times change.

I like Kentucky Downs too! It's a tough track to handicap. Some sweet prices.

Stay away from the favorites there.
Fun to watch them race on a non oval track too!
