Title: Nick Surik
Post by: Lar4400 on February 16, 2026, 10:11:56 PM: What is his current status as it relates to harness racing? Is he clear to get back in the game. I remember on day at the afternoon delight where his horses won the 1st 8 races with 2 left on the day. Amazing accomplishment if no enhancers were in play.

I didn't start any of this until 2022. My only engagement was same as with the rest who were involved. Just bringing information forward that people might otherwise not see. From 2003 through 2021 I was never really in the game unless it was taking care of a farm. As for racing I paid little attention, I'd hop in the bike to drive one once in a while. I was clueless to how gross the drugs were, and even when I did have a barn I never did that shit "as you can tell by my training record".

No enhancers? Not sure he ever won a race without something extra!

Post by: smokingjoe on February 17, 2026, 11:07:43 AM: Surick got early release and is currently in a halfway house in NJ.

His wife divorced him while in jail.

His brother ran a fledging lawn service company in his absence.
