What the heck happened?
« on: January 08, 2025, 12:34:16 PM »
I used to love betting harness racing. I would go to Hazel Park to make bets at the Meadowlands and really enjoy the handicapping and watching the races. Now I bet and there is no real enthusiasm at all...

NOTHING BUT TRUTHS

How can you be enthused in the winter with Tyler Miller in most of the races?

Not to mention post drag, high takeouts and single file racing with holes always being given

Don't forget the pitiful harness pools. And smaller fields

turfway tbred averages nearly 10 horses per race with nice pools.

The smaller pools are definitely a turn off for me as well. The smaller fields not so much. Aqueduct routinely has only 5,6,or 7 in a race and their pools are huge.

  • Calhoun: Petrelli is mucking stalls, pulling weeds and sleeping in a stall.  Says he's a farm manager. He's happy with that. Good for him.
