Atlantic City Race Course
« on: June 11, 2023, 10:16:18 PM »
As a young man in the 70's I loved racing there!
Pompano Park training side in the winter and ACRC in the spring. What could be better for a young single guy with no commitments.
Lots of barns.
Lots of area.
The beach not far away.
Haughton, Dancer, Miller, O'Brien all had stables there of their young horses.
A big good track kitchen full of trainers and grooms for breakfast and lunch.
I won a 2 year old pace there on night where all four colts in the  picture ended up as sires in NZ.
I asked the girl from the program dept for a date.
She laughed and said "Arn't you gay".
What a blow to my ego!
I said "NO".  So then I had to prove it to her.
That was good for my ego!

I am just an old horse trainer still going around in circles. Sometimes Fast. Sometimes Half-Fast.

"I can get you White, Black, Gray, or Grizzly"

It was a fun town those days. When that race meet was over we got more rest at night.

  • dougie: Harness racing Revolution.....I understand why you feel the way you do. But like me, there are many who support the care of horses and the work that you do. Why penalize your supporters for the actions of a few misguided ignorant shit stirrers?

  • Harness Racing Revolution: Here's my response, I don't care. And not a fucking thing they can do about it. Same way they choose to not care. Sorry dude.

  • dougie: Harness Racing Revolution.....I never knew the Iceland connection. I believe it when you tell me cyber harassment is illegal. But if the admins choose to do nothing, what avenue is there for the folks who want to enjoy the "horse talk" in this group?

  • Harness Racing Revolution: dougie, DDOS attacks are illegal, in this country. Plop is based in Iceland. But cyber harassment is also illegal, in the US. Most of these IPs talking shit are US based. Just saying. Admins condone it, so fuck em!  ngc3

  • Harness Racing Revolution: JFA, ever hear the phrase "Payback's a bitch"? Blame the people responsible. I just keep chuckling at them having a tantrum over it now.  ngc3

  • JOHN FRANK: What the point,MIKE. You don't get to fiqure out those with monikers. At times no one do. But if one inquesitive,trusy me: You will eventually find out who they be. And Haters be HATERS. In 37 years only one bothered me. And I know all ,includin my most hated. Why you think you responsible for slowdown,the same you think you know everythin is beyound me. And there are ways to correct this situation. Don't think you can beat the system.
