REAL REASON WHY THE HAMBO IN INDY IS A TERRIBLE IDEA

[themightythor]

handle,location are going to be issues,but the real problem is all the trotters who will be competing for the hambo will be racing half way across the country. 98% of hambo hopefuls are raised and raced on the east coast. most stables who compete in hambo dont stable anywhere near indy. how soon does melander,ake,toscano,pelling etc bitch about this.

Bitch all they want. Signed and sealed for 3 years. Dry those tears. It will forgotten just like Freehold.

Top horses travel across the country for big races all the time. That's not an issue.

OMG.... how do you think they raced at DuQuoin for 25 years

Everyone already goes out to Hoosier already. A number of them are there tonight. If you race for good money people will travel. Some people might remember the Grand Circuit western swing. DuQuoin, Indiana State Fair, Springfield. Fun times, On July 4,1970 I watched Most Happy Fella win in 1:58.2, Stanley Dancer. Goshen NY. We would stay most places for at least a week. Travel provided by some of the following, Woodbury, George Hutt, Brook Ledge and Meadowbrook (rip Ralph) If you had a good horse you traveled track to track.

Did Hoosier get the hambo?

luc if i make the trip,you better have a vip table,booth,section for me

this decision is not a democracy

JG would only commit for 2027 and The "Society" wanted more than a year-so they took it

fan sentiment, location, handle, etc does not change the outcome

its official

get accustomed to it

almost all the horses will not be prepping in Indiana...so first time on track...at Big M, Hambo horses regularly prepped with a couple if not mutliple prep races...still have walner colts in the njss,  assuming the dancer is still at big m. so people can crack jokes but Hoosier Park isnt where they are going to be training,  Apex raced exclusively at the big m this year

[Lockedin with Pace]

Hoosier could create their own prep races. Whether it's a good idea or not doesn't matter, it's a done deal!

[Bitter Truth]

They can train on the moon BUT if they want to win The Hambletonian, they will go to Indiana.
