It's Fair time in Maine!
« on: August 08, 2024, 09:47:04 AM »
With heat records being set all summer here in Maine, it's finally getting cooler. Just in time for the Fair season. While i've been to all the fairs locally here, it's the Freburg Fair that's really great. If any of you "Ploppers" plan on being here the first week in October, take a drive over there. Admission is $12. Foods expensive too! But as a harness racing fan, it a pretty cool "day at the races". I believe the grandstand was built in the late 1800's. And it looks it too! LOL! The track is packed for the races. It's a lot of fun. So come on up to Maine for Fair season. It's pretty cool!

You go to watch these races for the entertainment aspect, not the gambling aspect, unless you like to 'step on your own money' at the windows!!

The Maine fair circuit is nothing but horse abuse. These piece of shit horsemen race the horses 3 and sometimes 4 times per week and you fucking assholes are on here talking about what a good time it is. FUCK YOU!

But don't you say that about most of the racing circuits?

I agree 100%. I never knew that occurred. I thought they go one a week from fair to fair. I am going to ask about that.

An owner of mine called me up one day about 20 years ago and said I just bought a 3 year old that was racing and winning on the Maine fair circuit. The horse was shipped to me and when I looked at its papers, it showed 12 races in the last 30 days.
