Everybody is a great guy to you. How many great guys go around stabbing their wives?
As for Case the driver, he's a shadow of his old self and can't even compete in Maine.

I knew Kathy his wife who he stabbed,, Walter drove a lot of horses for me and was always a gentleman. Things happen people work on themselves and become better but you probably wouldn't know that. Why don't you tell us your qualifications and how many races you have won?

50k made from their 5% in only 5 months, plus training fees + many own a percentage of their racing stock also.
Alot of them have only raced for 2-3 months this year, the summer racing season is just starting to ramp up & big money in the fall too.
A couple of mine are about to qualify at the Meds, only had minimal starts so far this year, I'm sure others are in the same boat.

Monticello, NY – Monticello Raceway is proud to announce the addition of Brian McEvoy as its new track handicapper. He replaces Catskill Steve, who was a mainstay for many years as the track handicapper at the Mighty M.

McEvoy is the current track handicapper for Pocono Downs, a position he has held for the last seven years. McEvoy got the harness racing bug at the tender early age of 12 years old and his love of harness racing has followed him his entire life. He spends countless hours watching replays of races before making my picks daily. He is an avid follower of harness racing and looks at every harness program every day at every track in North America.

good move

MGM is looking to back out of New York. They have to pay 35% to New York State which is bullshit.

Yonkers consistently has been the best place ever to race. If you know where to race harness racing is thriving.

I'm fairly certain Petrelli Plop will quit way before Mark Ford does.

it's gotta be the dumbest post I've ever read. A friend of mine told me Mark has done more for the horse business than this guy can do in a lifetime.

Harness Racing / Re: Hawthorne blown away?

« Last post by balmoralfan on Today at 10:01:44 AM »

50 years ago,in Illinois you could race harness at:
Sportsmans
Hawthorne
Maywood
Balmoral
Washington Park
Aurora Downs
Quad City Downs
Fairmount
Cahokia
Arlington raced 1 or 2 years around the time Washington Park burned down.
Add in Springfield, DuQuoin and the county fairs and the standardbred business was in full bloom.

Corrupt owners, fiscal mismanagement, and fans flocking to the riverboats have killed the sport.

I hope old man Langley and Billy Johnston are rotting in their Graves.
