Back in his Chicago days Brent was know as "Preacher Man".
You look at the entries and ask "Where is Holland"?
"Ah he is off on one of his Sabbaticals".

Very true but a big time gambler with a few of these horseploppers on this forum. He finishes exactly where he wants to if you know what I mean. Those drivers at Yonkers make more money by finishing third forth and fifth then if they won. You get my drift. Bet on the other guys and just around in a circle and make big money. Plus th3 betting money is all tax free.

Finally, someone who understands how harness racing really works. Just think about how many drivers retired in their early fifties and lived still living good without ever doing anything for an income.

Frank Popfinger walked away loaded. Within a year opened a village Italian restaurant in Manhattan. Great place. that takes cash.

Many of them walked away loaded.

And many, Far too many walked away too late, back in the bush leagues or with nothing. Not to mention all the ones that pissed it all away on booze and coke. Earning and keeping are two vastly different things.

Speaking of Yonkers, appears purses are dropped 2k-4k per race starting Monday Oct 30.

Welcome to winter racing!!

But weren't winter drops in purses due to anticipated declines in attendance due to weather? No one goes now anyway. All from the comfort of our homes. So??

They boost the purses I. The summer when there are a ton of track’s racing to keep the horses there. Once a lot of other tracks stop they lower them to conserve purse money for next year

As far as Bent.  His heart hasn’t been in driving the last 4-5 years. But it is what he knows how to do and makes more than he could getting any other job. He usually only drives a few days a week

[Fuguzzi]

That seems very unfair to the owners, trainers and bettors. If the fire inside has gone out, step aside. He can bet on his "coworkers" from home.
