Everyone on here knows I was there last night since I live in Delaware
So a few brief observations..
The crowd was awful. I know the weather sucked, like really sucked, but I was shocked there weren't more people in the clubhouse at least. It was half full. Grandstand was empty, maybe 20 people including my brother and I freezing our asses off
I always stick up for my state, but that was pitiful Ohio.
The handle sucked, about $700,000. I don't think there was any CAW in play which is good for the gambler but bad for optics if anyone truly cares in the first place The post drag was awful, but was expected
The races were kind of average. That is to be expected with eliminations where making the final is really the only goal. The track crew did a good job. Multiple track records broken last night
The best horses or best performances go to Blazin Lou and Starstruck Dreamer
Impressive miles in those conditions. The 2 year old colt pace final is completely loaded with talent and will be a phenomenal race next week which will also have Shalom Hanover, Mr. Bear, Eastie Boy and Night Surfer
Honorable mentions to Blue Ranger, Big Ranger's full sister and Lifetime Dreamer 2 CT
Finally my brother and I bet 187 and won 128 for a $59 loss
We don't go ape shit betting together like I do solo. Pools to small. To much chalk.
