- Helping out the nighthawk mid-2a eastern crowd -

With Cal Expo and Fraser out the fall door,
Late night easterners shrinking options,

Do Sat night quarterhorses at Los Alamitos do anything for you,?

Or try, and I do Saturday nights, after Moh, Meadowlands and NField & Hoosier done, go offshore with Bet365, betting the Sat night greyhounds out of Australia. Tbreds and harness are there from 'down under' too but for some fresh fun, full 8 dog fields most races, easy harness-like classifications and lines to follow and solid prices posted right away, withdrawls direct deposit within a day or so..(Bet 365 pays out 5% above the middle price of the three recognized Australia bet operators each race...win, place, quin, ex, tri, super every dog track + win4 races 5-8 'quadrella'..min bet .01 cent for any wager you choose)

*Racingandsport.com you'll find free pgms/ and the radio race calls
*Sky Racing Live, youll watch the races

Anyway..some all night options.

Miss Cal Expo soooo much. Robin C told me that Scott and Lisa chased people down to pay their tack shop bills before it closed. I'm ok with that but Scott wanted to charge interest and late fees on top of what was owed. That's nuts! A few horsemen said they wouldn't pay. I wouldn't pay extra. That's for sure.

Sad that harness racing couldn't survive in CA. A bit of an island unto itself, other than W. Canada. I remember many years ago when some of the big barns sent horses out there. I remember Tom Harmer shipped Falcon Seelster out there. LOL. Jerry Silverman was out there for a bit, and so was Joe O'Brien. Last time I went out there, it was a long time ago, LOL, and Ross Croghan was still out there and getting ready to come to NJ.

That place was a shi_ hole. Los Al on the other hand was quite nice back in the day. Nice drivers colony with Steve Warrington, Plano, DR Ackerman, Lackey, Gene Vanlandingham.

Their management disconnected with everyone, and this is not surprise why they lost their lease and harness racing ultimately failed in California, crazy the largest state and it failed.

Maybe they were laundering money because racing was ehhhh.  Same ol same ol inbred cookoos and a couple of drugger shipper teams.

They might of filled in a blank here and there but the worst fucking horses around.  One old poor horse never won in several years was then 13 years old and a bottom claimer, c'mon, some sympathy for the animal.

People suck!   :P

Listen I don’t want to hear any bullshit about my friend Scot e the announcer.  He was loved by everyone out there. And to the ass clown who said lisa and him charged interest at expo tack shop, why shouldn’t they? Would you let those ungrateful bust outs steal from you? Scot and lisa are great business people and califonia is to ever rave harness again they will be the ones to lead the charge.

Coming here of all places, someplace you know they're so nuts (at times)  they start roasting people in their own obituary, shitting all over them and their family members possibly about their adverse experiences.

Honor your friend by telling stories, sharing pics and videos, finding like minded people.  You chose to do that of all places, harness racing chat rooms, not start a Scott E. Facebook group or a group text. 

You can come here and start or find a thread and Scott E.'s protector, but you're really angry, your friend is sick and it's not unusual to want trouble a fight.  It's normal. 

Silencing, threatening, will get you nowhere here but more of the like.

Since everyone loves them then build a statue of Scott and Lisa where the track used to be since they and management did such a great job  ngc3

Better than coming someplace you need not be which is 99.9999% of the world and telling those people you'll silence them.  You wont!   ;D
