Madden Oaks at Tioga 4th race

[Birdfantammy]

Just curious ..how is this horse in this race?   Seriously

[Bret3Times]

Winners of 2 but not more than 5 PM (NY owned or sired 6) PM Races or $40,000 Lifetime

Almost got beat and he didn't look good in winning.

[seen2much]

The connections found a paid qualifier.

[Papillon]

they were just keeping him tight for next Sat at M1 if he is in

he wasn't trying, wasn't asked, and I agree didn't look good

[Pacer 2]

He fits the conditions he didnt have more than 6 wins

[Deadbeat]

He should have lost. Whelan did everything he could on the 5 to not beat him. Watch the replay.

[Bret3Times]

I watched the replay again and Deadbeat you are right. Little effort by Whelan in the stretch other than a spin of the whip in the air near the finish line. The two drivers were talking all the way back to the winners circle. Not a good look!

[CMJAnew]

Grand Circuit to non-winners 6 is a big drop. Bettor(s) still got a nice double out of it.

[Harness racer]

Did they race him on an empty tank today?  He wins the Meadowlands Pace and almost gets beat in this class.  WTF?

[Brown jug]

these tracks might want to add some conditions on the nw races to avoid this
for example ineligible winners of over $200k
race was unbetable

Absolutely 100% agree!  I couldn't believe when I saw him in this race.   IMO he should not have been based on earnings alone!   What a joke

I didn't bet the race.  He almost lost.  Should have lost.  Fixed race

[Parked]

Trainer did lose with a 45 cent horse a couple races later to a 20-1 horse.  Must have run out of vitamins??

the race was fixed so a $2.10 horse would win?

[MIKE CAMPBELL]

There should have been a purse cap

[Parked]

Watched replay, had to chase him to a struggling 1:52 win after pacing in 47.4 2 weeks ago ?.??
