I’m a Midwest guy but follow east coast racing my whole life. Mark Ford has to make his money outside of harness racing because if you take away gallo blue chip he would be a below average trainer. Ain’t no way he is a millionaire trainer in harness racing. Rarely wins and relies on Jeff Gillis to do everything for him.

Below average trainer? Maybe you should look up how many wins Ford has had in his career it might surprise you for a below average trainer. 

Most trainers pissed their money away at the windows, Ford made smart investments and not only that he reinvested his money into a multi million dollar top-notch facility probably the best farm in the country among  other real estate entities.

Bingo that’s what I said that he didn’t become a millionaire from harness racing. I’m just giving you my opinion from what I’ve seen over the years. He might of won a lot races in the past but the last 10-15 years I rarely see him win. I’ve heard really good things about his farm but all that aside, he made his money outside harness racing and I’m happy for him. I talked in the phone to him twice and he sounded like a pretty nice guy.
