While the entire clip is pathetic, you can go to 1:35 as Petrelli slobbers on and blames his physical, mental and emotional health for his failure to support his family, his lack of any ambition to become more than a 35 year shit shoveler and for his attacks on successful people in the industry he admittedly failed at.

In Petrelli's own words:

"... People have accused me now for four years of doing this out of nothing but resentment and revenge. Well, that was the motivation ..."

"... I was on the balls of my ass health-wise, mentally, emotionally,..."[/i]

How utterly fucking feeble.

this is unbelievable but true!

We go back to Monticello a few times a year. We stay at the Casino. Go to the track for daytime racing. If they had 50 people there, that's a big crowd. Yet today, the tracks handle was over $500,000 with an average of over $52,000 per race. I guess people love to bet the "Mighty M" from wherever they are.

I've been there a couple of times as an owner, and I didn't even bother going to the grandstand.  Not worth the trek!

Monticello seems to have a following during the day.  Don't forget they race Monday-Thursday with minimal A/B t-bred tracks to race against.

Look at the day racing harness tracks Plainridge (4pm) start, Saratoga harness, Pocono, the Meadows, and Oak Grove harness.  Probably better racing at Monti, compared to the tracks I listed!

Monti has always held its own as far as betting pools to bet into, compared to Yonkers.  What does this tell you?

As the gate started rolling in the backstretch, 9 horse is 6-5.
First call after the start, he’s 1-5.
No wonder no one wants to bet any more.

What a fucking joke. Video looks like a scene from fucking Gunsmoke. It's fucking 2026. Isn't it time to end this nonsense with horse drawn carriages. Same goes for the horse abusers hiding under the religion umbrella known as the Amish.
