Let's just say, I've been able to hold back the tears, you dumb bitch.

In South Florida right now but will be at Hambo in Indy next year. Former Chitown owner. Looking forward to meet Luckpark and Meadow Ford. Meadow I think we have met before. I would run SB bets in late 70s lol. Look forward to us having a drink next year

Just another dagger 🗡 in the "sport" of harness racing! Who can stomach 5 hours of Gabe  and the Otten Otter?!?!?

Last night the new Hambo home for the next 3 years did around $680,000 in handle on 14 races while a weak card with no-name drivers at the Meadowlands did just under $1.9 million on 13. Campbell and his buddies sold out the sport but the Hambo is only 1 race on 1 day.  The Meadowlands Pace should be increased now to $1 million.

Forget about comparing the handle at the two tracks. Jason Settlemoir used to brag about all the 3 million dollar handles on Saturday nights even with the top drivers not there, now they couldn't even break 2 million last night, which has to be the lowest Saturday handle in a long time regardless of the card and drivers.

its not surprising the big m was down on saturday on probably their worst night of racing...of course they are still handling over a million more than hoosier so im not seeing your point. Meadowlands along with Mohawk are still the only track gamblers care about. Moving the Hambo to Hoosier a selfish petty move and will quicken the end of the sport

[wizardofoz]

The winter months have far fewer tracks open than the heart of the summer does, so that is a key reason why the handles then are consistently higher than the summer months.

Hoosier has held Breeders Crowns and done fine. I think they bet over 2 mil. The Breeders Crown is going to Scioto this year, not a lot bitching about that. Hoosier's only another 2 1/2 hrs away. Breeders Crown 2027 Lexington.

It's an atrocity that this happened. I think both Gural and the Hambletonian Society are to blame.

[Raging pace]

Joe zambito and Paul Clark working at Hoosier, 2 of the biggest crooks you would ever meet. Zambito was race secretary at Batavia, used to give his buddies inside posts, owned horses under other people names, bet with both hands , should be in jail . His buddy Paul Clark worked at the otb at Batavia, stole money , owes couple owners thousands of dollars for years, just a waste of skin he is ! Now Zambito and Clark working at Hoosier, no good, dont trust or let theses losers borrow any money ! Keep your hands on your wallet !

They should run the Hambo at Red Mile every year.

They should also run the Breeders Crown at Red Mile every year.

I've heard worse suggestions.
