Harness Racing / Re: Aaron Merriman is awful

« Last post by JENNY FROM THE BLOCK on Today at 12:46:17 PM »

Sure AA ron may have his flaws. who doesnt. I will say the guy loves to win. he got into driving race horses the right way. Started at the bottom. working for his dad cleaning stalls. Then jogging and training horses. Winning his first race at raceway park with a mare named alberts filly. He would drive up to that shit hole every week to drive 2 horses. He then made that shit hole his home and learned to drive on bad horse with bad drivers. aaron is very personable and a lot of people like him. he has a great attitude most days and that goes a long way. He put his time in a deserves to be where he is at. he is comfortable making his 400k per yr staying at home close to friends and family. not a bad living if you ask me. i hope he stays healthy and continues to do what he loves to do.

Everyone seems to be missing the point here. Yes--Howard Taylor is suing Gural for Statements he made about the purchases Howard Taylor made. These have yet to be substantiated by facts as no one has seen the exact purchases of those indicted-and obviously challenged by H.Taylor.
HOWEVER--The REAL reason for Gural banning Howard Taylor and now his mother
-is the vindictive personality Mr Gural has for Howard Taylor when he sued Mr Gural for cancelling the Jersey classic in which h. Taylor had the favorite. Howard Taylor won that case much to the chagrin of Mr Gural. Gural has hated H. Taylor ever since--a testament to the controlling nature Of Mr Gural when it comes to decisions about running his track. He bans people seemingly just on rumors or innuendos or as in the case Of H Taylor-someone who actually was proven to be right in Court --Yet still punished by Mr Gural anyway..
So it seems to me Mr Gural is using the Fishman purchases-as an excuse to ban H. Taylor.
Has to be because why doesnt he ban everyone on the Fishman list?
I now believe Howard Taylor will beat Mr Gural once again in Court.

I agree with all your saying Bond. What happened was that Howard found out Gutal wasn’t going to budge so he tried to make his mom a paper owner for his shares of the horses. Where Howard fucked up is he should have done this either by either selling to someone other than his mom or make her a paper owner earlier than June. Howard expected to get his way. I’m by no means am sticking up for Gural but Howard has been representing the cheats of the sports for years and finding ways around everything and he tried to do it here also and it didn’t work

Not too many good races on the card. When the best races on the card are nw3500/4, what does this tell you about how good the horses are at northfield??
Look who actually beat him in some of these races--
Joe Kramp--who is he
Tyler Angus--who is he
Logan Loney--who is he
David Lake--who is he
Elliott Deaton
Eric Tharps Jr.

These 6 combined won’t win as many as Aaron does this year alone.

He was bet every which way including the win pool..

so when he sat, it did seem a little peculiar.

He had 15 drives tonight. And he could only win 2. He matched Grismore for wins tonight. Truly amazing the red headed stepchild is so bad at times.

He had 13 drives

13 - 2 - 3 - 4

he also had a win and was placed 3rd for cutting the last cone going into the super stretch.

Harness Racing / Wacky Wednesday at Monticello

« Last post by dinkadoo on Today at 11:23:51 AM »

Not much I like at Monticello

Race 6 #4 Hunters Gal -- the favorite last week, pulled at the half behind with cover but struggled to keep up. After
watching replay, Mike Merton took him back to the rail and he seemed to trot fine the rest of the mile
without being asked. Something was not right -- if back to himself, he is a solid trotter that has 6 wins
this year, and a very bad looking line last week.

Meadows --- Bonus Baby

Race 5 #4 Dandys Starlette - bottled up last week on the rail, Wilder didn't force the issue of asking for pace as
it was evident he was not going to hit the board. He let him pace up behind horses.

He goes on about all the drug they been there for ever all ways will,big oil get billions from the feds not a word about that cause he is in harness racing and never made a dime so doesn't want any one else to make money to complete loser.

Hey dumbass. Without big oil everything comes to a complete stop. Without harness racing money can be distributed to people who actually deserve it and are in need. Plus thousands of Standardbreds won't be created then destroyed for profit.

DEAL WITH IT LOSER...
