Maine Harness Racing is a Joke
« on: July 24, 2026, 02:19:39 PM »
Trainer received a positive May 15th and another a week later. Both horses won and placed last and Trainer received no fine or days ? First offense is a written warning so the 2nd positive should be days and a fine ?

Like Scrape The Paint's mom says: "Gotta fill that box."

For someone who lives here and goes to the races. Maine racing is a very sad product.

Last year Andy Harrington had about 8 positives and had to return almost $20,000 in purse money, fined about $500 and never received a day...

I agree it's always been sad.  The egotistical Horsemen got fucked after they voted against the owner of Scarborough Downs. They got it stuck up the ass for good

I never knew the story that you are referring to until about 5 years ago. Although I don't know exactly what happened, it would seem your memory of what happened is correct. Scarbough Downs is now apartments and private homes with a new shopping center slated to open there soon. The big sign on US 1 is the only remnant of the track.
