What happened to all the horses that raced at Freehold?

I know some went to M1, what about the rest? Are there any tracks racing that cheap stock?

I'm sure they went to their class wherever.

But no matter what there is always a place in Canada, there is never a more bottomless bottom of the barrel than those fucking dumps in Ontario!    ngc3

I know a while back I was having conversations with a horseman from St John's, and the grandstand up there was the size of a barn, and the purses were for hundreds.

I'm afraid if I do bad things in this life when I die I might end up gambling at one of these hell holes for all eternity.

I might have to become a nice guy  :P

Just look at race 1 at the Big M tonight for your answer.

That's not nice, horses are better than all of the shit birds that work in that toilet.

All you did with that remark was give us a craving, they go down easy and fly out the same.  ;D

In 2017 my friend came to visit me, and he wanted to go to Freehold. We went. The staff in the room we were in were extra friendly as was the parking attendant, but the racing product sucked. The last time I was at that track was many years before.

Very boring, and I used love a good matinee card.  Guys like Cat would do double duty, now look at Jersey, 1 track 2 days a week, even Atlantic City racing is gone.  Bring in good eats, entertainment and attract people - gambling, say no more, they fucked it all up.

When you think of culture in racing, it's actually us, we're still here, keeping it and if gone, the memory alive.

I also enjoyed the good old days at Freehold when the horses and drivers were top quality and jumped between M1 and Freehold, of course that's when M1 was the premiere harness track in the country.
Cat Manzi, Jackie Mo, Herve, Campbell etc. were all driving there in the afternoon and then the same drivers would be at M1 that night.

I used to like it when Jack E Lee made all those crazy nicknames for the drivers and 1 trainer.
Jersey Joe Shwind
Hungry Jack Baggit
The Colonel Herve Fillion
Jackie Mo
The Catman
He called George Anthony Burger King
etc
