Grace Hill
« on: September 17, 2023, 12:46:22 AM »
Congrats to Grace Hill and Virgil Morgan on a great return tonight at Mohawk - dazzling 1.48! Virgil Morgan - something like $75 million in purses, 2nd all time in wins by a trainer, first trainer to win 5,000 races and of course the politicized assholes at Goshen and the USTA will keep him out of the HOF!

Why would they keep him out of the HOF?

Virgil is good people, and one of the hardest working people in the business. Made the bulk of his money in Ohio when Ohio had no  purse structure worth while. Much better trainer than Burke dollar for dollar. If had Burkes opportunities he would have long surpassed $300.0 M

Well they have done it to Brett Pelling for years and he shoulda been in looooong ago. greatest trainer of pacers ever. see Tony Morgan with 17000 plus victories.   yet, Chris Boring and Billy popfinger are in. Fine horseman, some great moments.. true HOFers?? - not really.

We all know that the USTA is a "good old boys " club. When it comes to a distinction   like the HOF,it's not who you know, but who you blow!

 I wouldn't even accept the invitation if they make ya wait that long but really it doesn't mean fckall and everyone who knows a harness from their arseh+le will know the true Hall of Famers)

 Hall of Gassers will be full soon
Best time of year watch the young horses racing for great money. Nothing better than following the horses, going to wherever their next stake is, with family.

 Grace Hill went some fast trip, 48 flat @ the Hawk is nothing to sneeze at.

 Amazing specimen, would sell for big $$$

Right. I don't care if her owner is Adolf Hitler. I am interested in horses and trainers.
