Great video Mike
You are absolutely right
Unless its a race with a 6 figure purse, its courtesy tucks galore
All tracks, from your Meadowlands to as you'd say our hillbilly tracks in Ohio
Mohawk is the worst offender by far.
One of a gazillion reasons why harness racing is dying.

Courtesy pulls too.

Jerking their horse way back, and letting a stalled in front

Moving wide so they could squeeze out.

Also so much interference and the Objection not being pulled and the judges blind to Inquiry.

How about missing the gate, are these fucker getting penalties anymore.

3-4 horses just pulled out of contention from go and burying.

I love racing  I mean ass rape    Quitting! 

[toothman]

TOTALLY agree
I was actually going to post on this topic last week.
Before each meet the judges pull in the drivers for a meeting where they say  that they will not tolerste courtesy tucks. a\
And you know what? nothing changes.
And its just a small reason for why things are the way they are.

Maybe I missed them in passing, but did not see Russell Rash (had the strongest arms of any driver), Hughie Bell, Clint Hodgins, Morris McDonald and they spelled Dunckley's name wrong.  Also I would take exception to their never giving holes etc., as several races from 1965 through 1975 (and less later) had some "choreography" to them.

HF,BW, BG, ML, & so no from the list all thru the 80’s did not have c tucks cause half the races were fixed so they knew when to leave . That’s document in Henry Hills book too. Like saying Paul Castellio ran a good business .

Scioto/Dayton/miami valley just as bad.

You don't see people parking people here. everybody gets a seat and they start up at the 1/2 mile pole again

Yes its bad in Ohio, except for stakes races
Northfield might be the exception
Still courtesy tucks, but not as many as Scioto,Dayton or Miami Valley
This is a problem at all tracks
Some are worse then others
Mohawk is the absolute worst..JMHO

Jeff Gural has raised alot of noise about drivers giving tucks. Doesn't he realize sometimes it's done because the driver wants to follow that horse?

or get them out of your way so you don't have to go 3 wide and get yourself in more road trouble later in the race
