Harness Racing / Re: The Acid test on 2 and 3 year olds are 3 races
« Last post by JT on Today at 09:09:39 AM »
Your post is why harness racing is dying. The Jug is a long standing tradition.  The town shuts down including the schools. As harness racing has turned its back on it roots the fans have disappeared. The Jug is the most attended harness race in North America. All of the races which were contested in heats should be restored. The is marketing gold.
I know about the schools. I lived here my whole life ngc3
I didn't say I wanted that to happen. I said it would not surprise me if it did
The attendance is half of what it used to be
Trust me I have had my eyes on it in person since 1980
I hated that they got rid of the 3rd heat possibility.
It was gotten rid of to try and attract bigger fields

Harness Racing / Re: Meadowlands fake handle
« Last post by Kenny on Today at 08:53:53 AM »
      What would the numbers be without the CAW’s ,  probably pretty lousy.    How much regard does the Meadowlands have for the people that gamble on their product when they let the CAW’s bell bet and cancel tickets after the start. To be honest I hope they close, that would be better than listening to the whining crying Hebrew constantly complaining about losing money .   Which I don’t believe because he just stuff’s his pockets with the sports betting money.

Publish that information for all tracks and include the on track handle.

Like I mentioned earlier..it's a combo of racing on a half and the 2 heats that keep horses away from the LBJ. The one thing that would not surprise me and MIGHT happen in my lifetime is that the divisions/ eliminations are raced on a Saturday a week and a half before the LBJ at Scioto and then just the final at Delaware. I would hate to see that happen, and of course the LBJ society and the fair board would adamantly oppose that to happen...just saying would not surprise me.
Also them racing the entire meet during the daytime is stupid..everyone under 65 is at work. That is no way to grow a dying sport. There is no lighting around the track.
Sunday afternoon is fine.. a few days during the week should be a 5 or 6pm post time
Either invest in a lighting system or bring in temporary.
The fairgrounds has a lot of $ on hand now because of the new bed tax
The way they choose to spend it is laughable.

yes the jug has changed the post position draws for the final which will make it more intriguing
as for the race being on thursday it seems to do just fine , gives them a spot all to themselves without competition against other tracks or sports
the two heat racing is awesome
i find it odd that todays horses are so much more refined and better animals than 20 years ago but apparently cant race 2 heats now ,
the jug must be the final race of any new triple crown, it still draws the most attention both inside and outside the sport
Your logic is exactly why Harness Racing is nearly dead.

 Canadians find aspects of daily life frustrating, such as high taxes, formalities, and the need to remove shoes indoors. Economic development is also uneven between regions
