Harness Racing / Fun facts comparing handles at different tracks« Last post by toothman on Today at 12:33:04 AM »I've been wondering how much things have changed in the sport in the last ten years or so--.
Always thought of Yonkers leading the pack. So I used the handle info on the USTA site and my abacus to compare the total track handles on Thurs, Nov 20. I have time on my hands now...Used Tues the 18th for PCD. So these are the handles PER RACE Monti---50,755 Yonkers-30,399 Chester-26,142 Pocono-19,535 Seems to me that bettors are turned off by the style of racing at Yonkers where horses outside the 5 rarely leave/try. For a track that has been denigrated and disparaged as the quintissential "B" track, it appears that bettors like the product. Is it becoming a haven for the gamblers? more driver antics? And whats up at Pocono? 5

Why Bettor’s Delight Has Few Successful Stallion Sons 1. He is a “breed-shaper,” not a sire of sires Some stallions pass on brilliance to their daughters, but not reliably through sons. Bettor’s Delight is famous for: Very high fertility Very high percentage of race-winning offspring Extreme consistency But his sons rarely stamp their foals like he does. This happens with certain elite stallions in many breeds. 2. He throws “tough racehorses,” not fashionable commercial types Buyers often want: Big, flashy, fast 2-year-old types Speed, explosiveness, conformation Bettor’s Delight sires: Tough, durable, long-winded horses Horses who improve with age Strong mental horses Many geldings (because they’re better on the track when gelded) These traits make great racehorses, but not always great studs. 3. His daughters outperform his sons This is huge in the broodmare barns. His fillies consistently produce: Horses with stamina Soundness High earning percentages A great example: Lazarus — a son of Bettor’s Delight — came from an exceptional mare, too. 7

She cares about her cat and obviously you are not familiar with catastrophes vet bills, who ever sent this to you is a bigger degenerate then you are, talking shit about a 20 year old , I’m sure you think it’s ok when people talk about your daughter, so anyway sit down or go walk around with your cell phone camera trying to become famous as a rat 🐀🐀🐀🐀😖 Who would ask a 2faced shiesty turncoat for any help with a go fund me. He has no money, hasn't been able to hold down a real job in years. 8
Harness Racing / Re: The Clegg family« Last post by Dingus on November 23, 2025, 11:03:33 PM »It’s quite humorous because Mr Clegg posted videos today making a mockery of the USTA’s request from him thus resulting in suspension. In his idiotic rant he says that he was tight on money so his daughter took over all the financial responsibility for the horses so that’s why they were put in her name. Ironically, you see as posted above, that in Sept she couldn’t afford a $3k vet bill for her cat. So make it make sense! He’s a lying idiot and should be banned from the sport for the simple fact that he over races his horses as everyone knows. And also note that he typically doesn’t even warm his horses up or bath them when they’re done racing. And isn’t it odd that he was on the list of visitors that went to see Mr Allard in prison?? Not hard to follow that money trail. There are photos of him, Allard, and Banca laughing it up from several years ago. Not hard to know what’s going on. 9
