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 ?

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.

Dougie, dont listen to that dumb fuck G. Owners tried to keep it open. Townspeople said no to casinos. No choice but to sell.

somehow Shane Bacon was involved

they were dreaming for a new track but that's all it was-a dream

First Tracks should make an effort to put up the signal for the fairs

actually they're better off closing the place was a shit hole the barn area was a total disaster. You drive down to the barn area and people had all their discarded furniture thrown in a field. The barn area was a dump.

I remember quite well the Horseman fucked themselves the owner of the track wanted to compromise but narcissistic Horseman thought they knew better and got it up their ass.
