Harness Racing / Re: Which drivers are the biggest gamblers
« Last post by Mrpick5 on Today at 01:27:16 AM »Herve was gambling on dice big time at the Atlantic City Casino’s and on horses. Stephane Bouchard had absolutely no shame in ripping a horse. The Brennan, Morrill Jr, and Howard Parker show was absolutely brutal at freehold on Saturday afternoons in the late 80s early nineties. Jacky Mo was a degenerate back then. Donald Dancer who had one of the greatest last names in the history of harness racing was relegated to driving garbage claimers at the end of his cheating career. Rene Poulin would not try on a horse for several months and then rob the entire tri and exacter pool at Yonkers. Peter Wrenn was asked to not come back to the meadowlands after he robbed the early double years ago with a Rodney Lorenzo trained horse from Pompano. I could type for hours about the race fixing at Yonkers back when I was a silent/part owner of horses back in the late 80s early 90s. I had a horse in at Yonkers when they used to have double headers. I think it was Monday or Tuesday back in the day when they raced at noontime and then again at like 6:30. My horse was in raging form and was going to be an easy winner. My trainer tells me. We can’t win today. Ray Schnittker paid my driver $1500 cash to sit second and don’t try to pass him to win. So I bet a exacter just one way. With my horse second. Herve shot for 3rd. $6.00 exacter and a $8.20 tri payoff. Those were the good ol days. Today’s modern era? I believe just about all drivers bet at Mohawk and Northfield.
