Overheard today that there are many trainers and a few drivers that are going to boycott Yonkers if they don't ban the trainers like the Meadowlands. Most are tired of training and driving against the drug trainers.
-
It would work. But everyone is too much of a pussy to stand up to these criminals.
-
Yonkers will never do that and would love it if they did boycott. Plus the drivers and trainers there have a place for easy money
Another reason that Yonkers can be use to stop racing and eventually develop the property
-
Racing needs to go..Bartlett driving for bongiorno...dowse ...per engblum....its honestly a criminal enterprise
-
It would be like the MLB umpires strike of 1999, completely misjudging their value to the sport. Any excuse....sorry.. ..reason to disconnect harness racing from life support would be welcomed by any casino.

It's organized crime in the truest sense. A sharp prosecutor could probably shut everything down via the RICO act if he or she could get solid proof.
-
It's in the works

I said this a long time ago. They need to enter and then scratch late. Let the product have one or two horses every race. But with Yonkers, there are so many shady characters they will still have many fields with 6 or so. ngc3

Where is Faraldo on this action? Unless I am missing something, I don't see where the horsemen have much if any leverage. It is not like they would be cutting off the profit center. They very well maybe signing their own death warrant.
-
It's interesting because civil RICO means treble damages
Also no statute of limitations when there's an ongoing pattern
People realize the honest horsemen were the victims, they need to step up and start claiming their victims' fund
-
The death warrant is airing tomorrow night at 7pm

faraldo is a good guy and a christian
very honest good guy family man tmbz1

Like Ronnie Burke says "when the circus loses a monkey, they just get another monkey". He's not going to stop entering, just get another monkey, they'd all like the chance to pick up his drives. Tell me who the first driver or trainer who will boycott.

If it happens it will be hardly noticed. The big guns have enough to fill the box.

Faraldo main trainer is on the list. Of course his last one is in prison. Lol

I would say the first drivers or trainers that boycott might be the guiltiest ones. They may figure the FEDS are watching closely so why not make it look like you're on the straight and narrow by rebelling.

Won't happen or will be short lived. People still have to eat and pay their help. It's only hurting them. The casino and racing board couldn't care less! tmbz1

Things that'll never happen

the track owner would welcome that 100%. The only way this will end the industry will have to fix itself. The owners have to be penalized; they know the trainers are cheating but want the money. When it is all done, they will move on another investment. These animals are just a commodity. It has gone to far and probably not worth the effort to repair. Greed and corruption rule sad to say.
-
Yonkers may just be hoping for a walk out. So lets review the facts. #1. They dont really want to deal with the track and its issues. #2 The dirt is worth much more per sq. ft. housing more machines. #3. Its a corporate owned casino company. they have a different view. One that precludes horseman. And last but not least did I already mention NO HORSES = MORE REVENUE.

If you knew nothing about harness racing and read all these posts you would have to ask: 1) Why would anyone want to in this business? 2) How do so many criminals walk around with so few repercussions? 3) Where is the governing body and why is their heads in the sand? and finally 4) Are people crazy betting their hard earned money on this sport?
-
It will never happen. Everybody knows what is happening and they don't want to cut their own throats. The casino owners would love it and there is an eight-billion-dollar casino coming to NY.
-
I’ll believe a walk out when I see it. If you got inside information please let us know what trainers and drivers you chirping about

I only bet half of what I used to.
