Owners license

[Stan durbread]

An owner is an owner in my opinion. As to losing the 1%ers how does that effect racing other than lining the pockets of certain trainers. Harness racing needs more people interested in the sport rather than people who need to brag to their friends and get their picture taken. Make everyone abide by the same I have to..its that simple

The 1%ers bring their family and friends to the track. Most of the friends never even knew harness racing existed before. There have also been quite a few that transitioned to full owners.

I also believe that any owner no matter of percentage should be subject to the background check! The minority owners could be programmed as"All Aboard Stable " or something similar. Getting EVERY owner licensed will eliminate previously disqualified individuals from being able to own horses anonymously!¡

That’s funny. Any disqualified person can own as many horses as they want. As long as they got cash. Plenty of trainers have owners that are not listed on the papers for 1 reason or another

How many states have you been/are currently licensed in past/present?  Asking for a friend or 2!

According to Amac who was asked by 2 different people the number of people who first dipped their toe in the water and then went on to own 10% or more was 9. I have no idea how harness racing would survive without these 9. It also sounds like you are one of the 1%ers but I could be wrong

Great point as I never thought about background checks and fingerprinting.

AMac is a scam artist. Ask Stutzman or Steacy. They have had plenty go on. There was also a group in the states years ago. Horseman’s financial and premier racing that graduated a bunch
