I watch it but won't throw a buck on a race there.  It is entertaining I'll give you that.  I really have no interest in throwing money at harness racing now.  It's so corrupt.  Worst sport out there!  These drivers can do what they want.   And the drug use.  It's bad

Please define “drug use”?

Horses?
Humans?
Both?

What chemicals are being used??

Does a ‘milkshake’ count as “drug use”??

Oh please. It's not even a shade of what it used to be. Any given race with 9 or sometimes even 10 horse fields- Coppola jr, Crawford, Gerry Mattison, John Stark jr., Kamal, Belanger, Randall, Pugliese, B. Cross, S. Mongeon, Hysell. This was after the Morel, Story, Allen era.

He is still good, picking his spots with Levine

I heard Wally retired. Hope not.  As for local N Y  tracks I don’t know which of the 0ther c tracks (Monticello, Vernon or Buffalo ) is worse.

Brett Beckwith win 6 today, last one parked the mile..what else is new..and what's going on with John Padres. claimed one from Beckwith for $17,500...had him in the bottom class today, inside, NW 2500L5 and couldn't win. I guess that box of soda ain't working for him like it use to..Rawlings and Crawford win a couple..dont leave a lot for the rest

  • dougie: I know very little about him. But since I admire his goals, I admire the man. There'a alot of hate out there. But it's the horses that all should focus on. My friend Trigger tells me i'm naive about things. I am not. But I do believe that what he does overrides the petty nasty personal attacks we see so frequently.
