Maybe Trump can bring back Pompano and Cal Expo along with coal 

Trump ain't no snowflake, he can do anything, almost...

[Trigger]

Has nothing to do with politics, the younger generation are soft and wusses.

Not really, last Saturday the young guys were cleaning up at the BigM and it was real cold.

The Twenties crew... were on fire.

How about, the old greedy, stupid twatface assholes ruined racing...where is the warm weather racing.

Pompano, bye 

Cal Expo, bye 

Still ruining racing 

People and horses don't belong out in sub freezing temps, go ask a dr or vet, is the plop gang smarter than them too 

Fucking embarrassment, shape up peeps...no one gives a shit what stupid bs you or I did in the 80's!

Geez.....I loved Pompano Park. What a freaking shame!

[Lockedin with Pace]

The young guns are money hungry and taking advantage of the big boys being on vacation. My point really was to John Moody blaming the Liberals for a potential government shutdown when both sides are the problem.

Should have just cancelled Friday. Saturday's temps are projected to be EXACTLY the same as last Saturday, and Sunday looks to be in the 20's in the afternoon.
Let's call this what it is - They were never very interested in racing these added "Freehold" Sunday cards. They only carded four - and wound up racing one. Will they be made up? Doubtful. Will the extra "Freehold" dates money be returned to the state? Also, doubtful. If you own a 68 TMR horse, you've had one racing opportunity in two months.
The little guy takes it in the ass again...

The last years of Pompano Park Raceway were a disgrace...

Few miles away from me, might as well been on Mars.

Let the little guy die.

Why, because all those little guys add up to the majority.

They're scared as shit to stand up to the minority, the druggers and cheaters that are getting all the money.

No NA walk out, fuck them, let them die, painfully because they're pussies that can't stand up for themselves.

Of course the successful criminal cunts of harness racing are on vacation, after robbing they're partying - you're allowing it!

I disagree with your characterizing the druggers as the minority - if you had to race against them you'd know they're not - but I can't argue with anything else you said. You're not wrong.

What did we think was going to happen.

More fell to the quick buck.

Owners screaming, penny pinching.

Threatened with the real life scenario I ain't gonna make it.

Those good horseman, hard working some succumbed to the desperation of failure instead of standing up then, when y'all were the majority.

As far as I'm concerned, not everything is equal.

Y'all stand up now together walk out and list your demands, not just for your damn selves, but for the gambler too...because that's the way harness racing is supposed to be.

This here is an unsustainable abomination.

Big strong men and women, hard working, sacrificing...fin d your god damn balls, and will it, make it stop.

Get all your owners, breeders, vets, your partners, your affiliates and do it as soon as the weather is warm - kill it!

  Of course they cancelled. Why wouldn't they? Every time they cancel, THEY'RE SAVING MONEY!!! No harness track is profitable. They either survive with casino, sports wagering, or state subsidy handouts. They lose money every time they turn on the lights. Any racino, that could get rid of harness racing, and still keep the casino running, would do it in a nanosecond. The whoresmen  should be on their knees, praying to whichever deity they worship, that the states don't wizen up.

Can you imagine these fuckers walk out, clean it up, keep it tight, and return.

Could be a cleaner product than t-bred racing.

The amount of press all over the country.

The doors could re-open to find everyone from the common horseplayer to the wall street type, to people actually socializing and gambling at the track, taking a date.

Why not invest in a horse, luck in the genetic draw, the best horsemen and driver match.

GP brought in $48.5 million in wagers last Saturday. 

$10,000,000 or so in straight up profit including food and drinks.

Not bad for an 8 hour shift.

But you're right, they lost control, they're silent to take a stand, and just hoping they're not the next domino.

Its not easy being a whistleblower in this industry.
There are dishonest, petty, vindictive people in positions of authority at certain tracks.
If you're going to expose crooked dealings in the race office, how do you expect to get your horse raced?
Its kinda like politics---its only when you are retiring/not seeking reelection that the gag comes off....
Its a lot easier to expose the nonsense if you are leaving the business.....

The way the minority becomes the majority is standing together and boycotting the box...How many small time owners and trainers can afford to do that?
