[MIKE CAMPBELL]

I hear there are 6 baking soda positives at Monticello. Nothing but dirt bags.

UPDATE   WHO

I'm hearing Doherty has one and has one pending. He is one of the biggest dirt bags to ever set foot on a racetrack. How Monticello lets him race and stable there is a fucking joke.

Just one ruling so far.


On October 19  2026  the New York Drug Testing and Research Program reported to the New York State Gaming Commission the blood sample CV3700167  obtained pre-race from the horse SAVAGE LP  1st place finisher in race 5 on October 12  2026  at Monticello Raceway  revealed a TCO2 level of 42.1+/-1.3millimoles per liter  which exceeds the permitted threshold for a Lasix horse. On October 29  2026  trainer Jim Doherty Jr. appeared before a representative of the NYSGC. After consideration  it is determined that Jim Doherty Jr.  as trainer of record of SAVAGE LP  on October 12  2026  is in violation of NYSGC rules 4120.2; 4120.4; 4120.13(A). Pursuant to NYSGC rule 4120.13(D)(1)  trainer Jim Doherty Jr. is hereby suspended for a period of 60 days   Novemberr 13  2026  through and including January 11  2027  and fined the sum of $1 000.00. During the term of this suspension trainer Jim Doherty Jr. is denied access to all course and grounds under the jurisdiction of the New York State Gaming Commission and trainer transfers from his stable must receive Judges approval. Further  pursuant NYSGC rules 4120.13(E)  SAVAGE LP  is declared disqualified from said race and all purse earnings shall be returned and redistributed to appropriate finishers and must re-test at a permissible TCO2 level prior to being declared eligible to race. SAVAGE LP  regardless of trainer  shall be subject to 6-hour pre-race detention for the period of 6 months  beginning November 13  2026 through and including May 13  2027  irrespective of any trainer or owner transfers.

He won again on 10/19, so maybe that is the 1 pending.

So you brag about cheating and the money you say you made betting --how about the ones that died when some idiot put the hose down the wrong pipe?
You must really need to feel better than others.-- You love to use the term "pigeons" for people not in on the fix.

Maybe  you cheaters have caused all the "pigeons" to fly the coop.

Oh thats right, harness racing is doing great!  yeah, for the cheaters, cause thats all thats left.

Guys like you killed it and are so stupid you don't even realize it.

ON THE MONEY! 

[The Unstable]

I will tell you it's going to get a lot worse.  New Black Box arrived there and it is more sensitive is there and goes in to operation January 1. Unless thats what they told everyone and it's in effect now.  Plus have to be in the paddock a half hour earlier starting then i think also.  Lets see how the two leading trainers do after that.  I would expect much much worse.

I think it's sickening when somebody doesn't know what they're doing and tubes on down the wrong pipe. They should be barred for life. Professionals like myself would never have that happen.

     Cheaters get caught and punished like every sport.

Oh?
So only the cheaters that mess up should be barred for life?
But "professional " cheaters like yourself should be unpunished?

Another good one from this week

On Wednesday October 14  2026  following race #8 at Monticello Raceway  driver Jason Ricco did instigate a physical altercation involving driver Mike Merton and Monticello Security in the paddock. This action  aggravated by a continued pattern of verbal misconduct on the racetrack and in the paddock  is clearly detrimental to the best interest of racing. Pursuant to NYSGC rule 4102.3(A)(C)  driver Jason Ricco is hereby suspended for 60 days  November 5  2026  through and including January 3  2026  and fined the sum of $1 000.00 for violation of NYSGC rules 4119.1 and 4119.8(C)(D). During the term of his suspension  driver Jason Ricco is denied access to all course and grounds under the jurisdiction of the New York State Gaming Commission.
