If this was just Taylor v. Gural it would be one thing. It ain't that any more. Gural exercised private property rights, and if that's all the happened Taylor would have one fight on his hands. A massive one, but one fight. However, this has progressed well beyond that and it's mounting big time. One state declines him upon renewal, another just pulls the plug (not upon renewal, I think), then another, then Canada, and so on. Taylor's ability to own horses and race is being disabled state by state.

This is compounded by the fact that the overwhelming majority of his horses are owned in partnership. How do you think Ron Burke and his partners are feeling about being partners with Taylor now? Svanstedt? Melander? Marv Katz? Brixton? These are just a few people who owned horses with Taylor in the past five years or so. Even if he doesn't own horses currently with these people, he owns most of his horses with partners. I don't care who they are, but they can't be feeling good about being partners with Taylor now, and potentially not being able to race in multiple jurisdictions. The state's and governing bodies have spoken. They don't want him. Can he fight everyone on this? Sure. But it ain't looking good for him.

Ok so it's not true. Thanks for confirming.   Ut unless you are the commission or one of the trainers. How do you know?

Go to the Ohio State Commission website confirms they have 12 full/part time staff total with 2 investigators for all of Ohio. They have responsibility for standardbreds, thoroughbreds, and quarter horses.

How can they be effective with this skeleton crew?

People were saying its Allard's horse in the Cup & Saucer threads

Thank you, it was so vague in my memory and I just checked the charts and only saw 3R...my apologies to whiptherabbit and everyone! 

Fucking dummy 

I'll try to decode for you Trig. Conrads means congrats and the mile was by Miki ShanN at Charlottetown PEI

 

Race 16, w2w Time: 27.4, 55.1, 1:22.4, 1:49.4 

Thanks bro, the cograds I got. 

Maybe I'm rusty from the Cup & Saucer where this was discussed?, are these people beards for Allard?, using his dope?, I must of got lost. 

You are correct, sir. And I enjoy watching that racing. Not as many courtesy tucks as, say, Yonkers. And, once you get past the top few, like Marc Campbell and Gilles Barrieu, who IMHO, could drive anywhere, many of the occasional drivers tip the scales at a rather hefty figure ( and that’s assuming the weights are recent}

Mohawk is notorious for courtesy tucks, and pulls too, how many damn horses lost their momentum.  Almost never a driver objection.  It's all about them, I agree about Yonkers, there is plenty of money enough for all of them so why fight.

Glad you like Red Shores, top drivers making maybe $40k a year, leads them to have to train too and those fees, own, it's all or nothing there. 

Their purses stink, their handle is crap, and they have a casino, it's baffling who negotiated that deal.  For honest, motivated, hungry horseman I'm all for them getting more - I'm a gambler we're used to getting sodomized.  If they want to revitalize racing bring in some guaranteed pools and take the trash out.
