That's right Digger Embrace the hatred.

2026 will go down as one of the worst crops of 3 year old pacers.

burke said ronnie has to leave before the race that means an 1-6-2  tri cold

2026 will go down as one of the worst crops of 3 year old pacers.

I hear that year after year as the horses get faster year after year. And the fields get deeper.

2026 will go down as one of the worst crops of 3 year old pacers.

There are a few good ones, but it's certainly not a deep crop.

My pick
Red line rocket man to win the final 

  Nice!

Not the greatest crop, I agree

Jug scenario

Rpcket man does not yield
Al Papi takes a pretty quick tuck for the pocket
Mellilo make rocket go wicked fractions and fadedsto let Papi out at the top
The sprint starts there. Hang on rocket man

pretty close! Good job

[toothman]

1:49.4 on a half miler in a final ?
That must be a record, right?

Thank you  to almost everyone for a nice day of RACING on the Plop!

[Laag]

not the greatest crop but was last years besides Louprint

I think Brandon Blvd is very very good and hopefully they race him back next year along with Mellillo and AI Papi and Rocketman and Mamba

Limitations on Stable entries. Only thing you can do to defend your self
from the hated evil Burke Empire/ Monopoly. GREAT DAY FOR BALDIE,
PENTLAND ..Pretty much everyone outside the 'PUKE BRIGADE ..So sweet

Funny how the main characters in the soap opera "As the Stomach Turns" (thank you Carol Burnett Show) didnt comment on the Jug.
Isn't this site for Harness racing, not characgter asassination?

Great day of racing! Hope everyone enjoyed it! I really enjoyed the Jug although it wasn't a betting race and you almost couldn't play the final. I was happy to see John Pentland win as he is one of the good guys in our sport. Overheard a very interesting conversation with Jeff Gural and John Campbell. They were like ex-spouses looking at each other from across the room, until Gural finally approached him and they started talking. While it's sad that the Meadowlands lost the Hambo-----and IMHO both sides are to blame-----in the end both races will come off, not conflict with each other, and if connections want to go to both, they can. Good for the sport. Still sad it had to be this way.

If you liked Rocketman , 7/5 in the weaker division was worth taking. I know that you were looking for higher.
Gural overplayed his hand....

He was absolutely a bet, a strong one and I wish the race was really close.....because I might have gotten a price on him in the final, LOL. Nah, that wasn't happening. While I thought the elims were pretty predictable, it was still exciting. There were some nuances that I found interesting. But, you're right, 7/5 was bordering on a gift if you really liked him.

As far as the Gural/Hambo Society thing. Nobody knows what went on behind closed doors. We just saw the sad outcome. What came out from behind the closed doors is nothing more than posturing and propaganda. Finger-pointing and blame. Every single time. Republicans and Democrats, labor and management, and so on. All part of the hypocrisy. But in the end, as I said, I think they are both to blame. I didn't like Gural's press release on the new big race, but again, posturing.
