Scioto Downs opening day!!
« on: May 07, 2026, 08:13:19 AM »
It's always exciting to me when the track closest to me opens for live racing. It signals the beginning of summer, although it's been pretty chilly here recently. I will be there next Saturday for Preakness day. This year marks the return of the buckeye David Miller, as being a regular. That will bring up memories from when I was a teenager and in my twenties in the 1990's when he would dominate. No Dan Noble, on program pages for the first few days..must still be banded. Good racing with a decent driving colony, but tough to handicap. Also home to the breeders crown this year which I will be attending all 4 days. Bucket list item I can check off. They have done a good job with their renovations including the new grandstand and clubhouse...not a shithole anymore. First post time is listed at 5:15.. but we all know that means 5:30. ngc3

ust tried to get up on their website to download programs. Seems to be dead.

Ill likely hit the Saturday card with the minor stake races. Ill start a handicapping thread as long as this site doesnt frustrate me by timing me out.

I've never bet that track. Let me know if you got a "good one" I can bet on.

With this driver colony and inflated purses I am the "scumbaggery" is kept to a minimum.

Finally got to the site and will be tuning in tonight.

Averaging about 27 minutes a race. Them and Churchill started at same time. They were running neck and neck.
Six hours for the card. That's if you figure from 5:30 when they say post time is 5:15. Just as bad if not worse
than Hoosier. zzzzzz
