Horsemen in Delaware have a great program. They have year-round racing between Dover and Harrington and have an amazing bonus program for Delaware residents ( ranges from 20-40% ) and the are very selective about who is even allowed to race there. They protect their own as well as any other state.

So what's the bitching.  I see 15 taces a day, 4 days a week with many 9-horse fields.  from cheap horses to top-class horses. Even the big-name drivers go down there on Thursdays.

So, what you're saying its ok to cheat and let know cheaters race because overall Delaware has a good harness program? Oh, excuse me they select what cheaters they want to race there. And if you're a Delaware owner who employees cheating trainers we will give you a extra 20-40% more? GTFOH!

the other half of the year its two days a week racing at Harrington with 8 or 9 races

they do take care of their own--kinda an inside club

they allow Tony Morgan to set up "shop" there

Ceba Horsey allowed to race there

they need horses to fill the box so some positives are overlooked just as any other jurisdiction

Dylan Davis, Josh Green, King, Teague--some of the best gas is in Delaware

Couple things wrong Jackie Mo. Green is gone., Has been for a while. Teague is just average now that they're testing for steroids. Always fill at least 12 to 14 a night at Harrington when racing. They race 3 days a week most weeks at Harrington. Dylan Davis is now avg considering the money he has behind him, King is a no longer a factor and hasn't been in a year or so. Ever since Fishman fiasco. The new crew are Stafford, Tyler and dear old dad and company. Glassmeyer and his pal Berry. And how the hell Horsey is allowed to race is beyond me. But you are right about Morgan as well.


I think your post is about 1 to 2 years behind the times.

i am well  aware that Green is gone and Teague and King are basically retired due to what you mentioned

my post was more of an historical review of what has happened there in the past

Harrington cannot fill 12-14 races a night--its two or three days a week racing with declining purses

I don't know. Seems like I'm there three nights a week. Monday's upper class and claimers mostly, Tuesday Trotters and nw1 and 2 and Wednesday Fillies and lower class. And I'm usually in the 13th or14th race with the 8 hole! The only month they race 2 days a week is August.

I am currently fighting SCM for rights to his music videos!

SCM has lots of power behind him and it's going to cost a lot to get The Manager signed!

   It has been dismal for the bettors since Brandywine went belly up.
