One more thing
 How can you give Kevin Lare a conditional license after 9 previous positives and not give Sean Bier the same conditional license?
For practically the same situation!

I liked to hear a judges statement on that!

I think the answer to this one is more about personality then test failures unfortunately
I've never heard kevin say 2 words
Sean never stops talking.
Would hate to think its personal but it certainly appears more than meets the eyes

Trigger is correct
Storms were horrible last night, I lost power
Accidents all on backstretch just different spots
Rainman2, the 2 involved last night not normally part of the Scioto colony
Clifton Bell, county fair driver primarily
Schmucker mostly trains, doesn't drive much

Great topic Rocco.. good luck at Hoosier this year by the way. tmbz1
I've posted this on here before, but what got me into harness racing the most, even more then growing up in Delaware,and even though our high school is nicknamed the pacers ngc3..was my grandparents and parents. They were small time owners when I was just a little JT. I think the most they owned at one time was about 10. Some of my best memories as a kid were riding in my grandparents old El Camino and traveling the state of Ohio to watch their horses race. All the kids wanted to ride rides, I wanted to be in the barns and grandstand. The look on my Grandfather's face when one of his horses won was priceless. Going out to the farm to watch them train. Also my parents calling me in sick to school during LBJ week ngc3
So to answer your question,  the best part of owning is the memories that are made with family and friends ;D

All they need is his name.

 He needs never to touch the horse.

Its all about the show and everyone knows it. Even the judges.

Kevin is Delawares version of Marylands Wagner.
