Of course they did and HT right behind them. Shea will be back boarding for pops and the whole gang will be back together. Any idea on Art Srafford?. Haven't seen him lately.

Speaking of She's, he claimed a horse last night. As for Stafford, haven't seen anything.

Both will get family drives and not much else would be my guess.

Brandon is on his 3rd second chance and has been arrested twice, once for robbing a man at the Harrington State Fair years ago and for DUI earlier this year. He had been suspended in PA too for several years before being reinstated last year for submitting someone else's urine in order to pass a drug test. Mike Cole's suspensions have all been drug related so he's probably the lesser of two evils.

They are both well beyond second chances.  Might be 4th or 5th for each.  Not sure how you reinstate someone that was just in prison a month ago.

    Officials plays favorites there’s only strict penalties for some

       Just another reason we should shut down harness racing
         Horse people had a chance to to make a go at it but we’re either to lazy or stupid to help themselves

  • dougie: IIB, I think the mayor will sign the bill if it reaches his desk. The optics on this issue is bad for the horse carriage industry. Animal activists are adept to using the media to enlist horror and anger by the public.

  • Ignorance Is Bliss: It's now a bill with city council. Public hearings will be scheduled then the council votes on it. If passed it's sent to the Mayor to sign into law. He has already said he's in. Marte just took over, Bob Holden is the actual author of the bill who retired last year.

  • dougie: IIB, I have been reading some of the work Councilman Marte has been doing on this issue. I think he might be successful with passing the 'Ryders Law" Bill this time around. The image of the horse dead on the street has even been seen here everywhere. If the animal activists can get this on the ballot, who knows how the vote will go.
