Harness Racing / Re: Ford must resign« Last post by Lockedin with Pace on Today at 05:20:44 PM »What makes Mark Ford truly stand out isn't just his numbers—it's his unbelievable consistency and ability to get the absolute best out of every horse in his barn year after year. While plenty of trainers have a quick run of good luck with one great horse, Mark has sustained excellence for decades across massive stables, racking up over 4,000 career wins while remaining a staple at the highest level of competitive racing. He isn't just sitting back on past achievements, either; he actively invests back into the industry through his state-of-the-art training facilities and advocates for harness racing's future on executive boards like the USTA and SBOANJ. Arguing against a resume that combines decades of top-tier conditioning, facility development, and administrative leadership just ignores the realities of modern standardbred racing. Only thing that stands out about Ford is his fat belly and huge ass which I'm sure you like since you're 3/4 of the way up it. 3
Harness Racing / Re: Ford must resign« Last post by ScrapeThePaint on Today at 05:17:40 PM »Beyond the fame of Gallo Blue Chip, Mark Ford’s conditioning resume is packed with powerhouse horses that showcase his incredible versatility across both gaits. He built his career from scratch on the back of Six Day War—a rare double-gaited warrior who earned over $400,000 pacing and nearly $90,000 trotting, giving Ford the foundation to expand into a premier operation. From there, he repeatedly developed durable, elite campaigners into millionaires, including heavy-hitting pacers like Whosurboy ($1.6M+), Turnpike Token, and Armbro Animate, along with top-tier trotter Self Professed and stellar pacing mare Stonebridge Kisses. On the big stakes stage, he conditioned Canadian Hall-of-Famer Shadow Play during his historic U.S. campaign, leading him to major victories in the Adios Pace and Little Brown Jug. Whether taking a single underdog horse and turning it into a stable, or prepping world-record stakes winners for major titles, Ford has consistently proven he can get championship performance out of any horse in his barn.

Harness Racing / Re: Ford must resign« Last post by ScrapeThePaint on Today at 05:14:15 PM »Beyond his track records and world-class training center, what really solidifies Mark Ford’s standing is his versatility and deep commitment to the sport’s longevity. He isn't just a big-stakes specialist who relied on a single superstar; he’s a horseman’s horseman who built his reputation from the ground up—developing tough, multi-million-dollar campaigners like Whosurboy, Turnpike Token, and Armbro Animate, while managing massive, high-performing stables week in and week out. Beyond the winner's circle, he’s actively shaped the future of harness racing by serving as President of the Standardbred Owners Association of New Jersey, sitting on the USTA Board of Directors, and hosting industry initiatives like the USTA Driving School to train incoming talent. Whether you look at raw performance stats, business development, or institutional leadership, Mark Ford has consistently put in the work to drive the entire standardbred industry forward.

Harness Racing / Re: Ford must resign« Last post by andrew on Today at 04:59:48 PM »At the end of the day, the stats speak for themselves: Mark Ford isn't just a successful trainer—he’s a historic legend in harness racing who became the youngest trainer in the history of the sport to hit every single career-earnings milestone from $10 million all the way past $60 million. You don't build that kind of record by accident. He is the only trainer to win two separate million-dollar races before turning 30, conditioned horse-of-the-year Hall-of-Famer Gallo Blue Chip to over $4.2 million in earnings, and built one of North America's premier 76-acre training facilities from the ground up. Say what you want, but you can't erase a Dan Patch Trainer of the Year resume, multiple harness titles at elite venues like Yonkers and The Meadowlands, and decades of proven, top-tier results. here are some stats for you paintbrush yonkers 199 starts 6 wins get another bagel ford must resign 10
