run for the hills in ohio

[pocketrocketwinner]

If that’s the case, then why does Matt Kakally park Yannick entire mile in borgata final. They both are drivers for burke. Stop already

Kakaley was not capable of handling his horse.  He wanted to let yg take over early but he couldn't hold his horse

[Open bridle]

I saw it too. Kakaley's horse was too hot or he would have let him over. Collusion shouldn't be happening especially in any stake finals. It should be an all out war everyone for themselves. It gives the sport a bad look.

longtime horsemen from Ohio - so excited when the Racino's added to the purses.

what they got
was extreme competition that most local Ohioans can't comepete against.
Higher bills....

Lucpark how is horse doing ?  Mine lost by a length to yours last year.

Which horse ?

[Open bridle]

Only the following can survive long term in Ohio harness racing now: 1)very wealthy business owner 2) long time owner/trainer 3)hit the lotto yearling purchase or love to lose your money gambler (but for not long). Fractional ownership is ok ,but for almost all still a losing proposition.

Lucpark TLY as a 2yo last year at Hoosier.

[Open bridle]

Mine had a lot of soundness issues last year. Hopefully, this year he will do better and hold his own. Good luck on yours.

good feedback
that was really my point is that the landscape has changed now in ohio
burke is buying the seasides( as have others) as he knows he can dominate ohio with them and they have proven already to produce ones that are competitive in the grand circuit
the broodmares will improve but of course the best broodmares will go to seaside so for all those owning the current mediocre mares who get bred to secondary stallions, OUCH!!!
the price to play in ohio is a lot more expensive

Hackett Final fir 3yo CP just raced

1st Burke
2nd Burke
3rd Burke

[Open bridle]

Yes, he's has so many good Seasides this year. He probably will sweep the 1st leg of the Sires Stakes next  Sat. also.  1.50 is grand circuit material. I doubt if last yrs champion gulf shores can beat that.

[3widetooearly]

It’s pretty obvious over the past 5 years the 1% big owners/trainers just own the sport. Just crushes the smaller guy obviously but pretty soon Burke will be racing against himself at his own farm. Nothing against the guy…he built his stable and has big time money behind me.

[Open bridle]

What if the money generated in each state for the stake purses stayed in the same state. That would be a new concept. Let's say for Ohio a horse must be Sired and 100% Ohio owned to be eligible to race in any Ohio stake races. All states would have the exact same requirements. Only the Grand Circuit would be open to anyone from anywhere.

Fear the dragons will be better this coming yr

Someone put a reminder for this Ice Cold take….
