Harness Racing / Re: Embarrassing

It is funny seeing a post on Horseplop talking about class. Look at this board and the people who post here regularly. On a class scale where 5 is the most class and 0 is no class, this board and many of the regulars would rate a 1.

Gural is an exception to harness racing.  He is personally involved in owning and breeding! He has skin in the game! The majority of other racetracks are owned by gambling coops--e.g, MGM, Penn National, et al.

Whether you like him and his policies or not he is doing what he thinks is best.  He gets this privilege as he actually is responsible for running racetracks.  Right/wrong/good/bad!  He is actually fan friendly too!  I said hello to him at Tioga Downs for the Empire Breeders Classic.  The staff actually encourages you to do this too!

That was not true at the beginning. When slots came in, the racing industry SOLD OUT to the casino companies.

ALL HAIL MR MARK FORD! ONE OF THE GREATEST HUMANS ON THE PLANET! A TRUE GEM TO THE SPORT OF HARNESS RACING!

Sound the trumpets, play Hail to the Chief, but first, bow down because you're in the presence of greatness with Paintbrush hanging on to every word among other things.

Who’s talking about slot welfare?!?! I guess you conveniently ignored the fact that racetracks existed before these casinos join them so just because a racetrack has inflated purses, that’s the cost of doing business with a racetrack and that’s how the casinos were able to get their doors open. But of course you conveniently ignore that.

 We’re talking about owners trainers and drivers making record money. That’s thriving.

Casinos exist because people WANT THEM. It is that simple. The rest is just politics and there is not reason a casino needs to have a racetrack. In fact, a racetrack is just a drag on the casino business. Why should the government give handouts to racing when the general public could care less that racing even exists? As a racing fan, I would celebrate the ending of the handouts.

We all know that Mark Ford has a much better track record..

Whats your point? Mike never said that he was more successful--
there are plenty of unsavory, dishonest, lying characters who achieve "success"
I'm not saying Mark Ford is any of those things.
I just don't don't understand why youre trying to prove what we all already know...

FATSO is all those things and more equally bad and worse and proof has been posted.

Political Roundtable / Updated Kennedy center news 8-11-26

A judge orders the MAGA-controlled Kennedy Center to pay over $250,000 to a jazz musician who canceled his appearance in protest of Donald Trump.
This is a humiliating black eye for the White House...
“The Trump-controlled Kennedy Center tried to silence opposition to its illegal name change by filing a meritless lawsuit against jazz musician Chuck Redd," said Redd's attorney Lisa Banks.
“The court rightly dismissed that breach of contract lawsuit, finding there was no contract and no damages, and was brought against Mr. Redd based on his protected opposition," she added.
The Center, whose Board is currently stuffed full of Trump-aligned cretins, sued Redd after he pulled out of an appearance because the Board had voted to slap our criminal, fascist, pedophiliac President's name on the center.
Redd correctly identified the name change as illegal, and a separate judge eventually came to the same conclusion. Trump's name has since been removed.
The musician's decision to cancel his appearance at the annual Christmas Eve Jazz Jam was a particularly powerful act of protest because he had hosted the event for twenty years previously.
In their lawsuit filed in March 2026, the Center tried to claim that Redd was in breach of contract and alleged that he “chose to abuse the public forum provided to him by the Center to make a political statement, and to deprive the public of the concert he promised.” D.C. Judge Tanya M. Jones Bosier eventually dismissed the case because Redd never actually signed a contract for the holiday concert.
You can't breach a contract you never signed.
Judge Bosier has now ordered the Center to pay Redd $252,479.70 for his attorneys’ fees and other legal fees. They have just 45 days to cough up the money.
Banks called the order "appropriate" and said that “no citizen should have to spend time and money fending off baseless and politically motivated lawsuits filed by the Trump Administration.”
Please like and share to congratulate Chuck Redd!
