Harness Racing / Re: A Harness Racing Data Insider’s Exit Interview
« Last post by Billsmafia on Today at 06:07:39 AM »
Great job! The piece is very well thought out and certainly makes you reflect on the direction that harness racing is going (not a good thing).

I'm intrigued by and strongly support two of the suggestions--the use of a variety of distances when writing the races and the need for larger fields. Watch the races at Vincennes from Paris if you have any doubts--fields often with 16 horses and many different distances on a race card. Parisians and French gamblers and sports fans love harness racing and support it. Crowds on the apron for every race are reminiscent of a different era in harness racing in the US and Canada.

Large fields require longer distance races to level the playing field. This idea doesn't mesh with half mile race tracks. How big a loss would that be? Racing at Yonkers, Saratoga, Monticello, Buffalo, Batavia, Northfield, Maine tracks and Canadian half mile "B" tracks has become unwatchable.

Thanks for your exit interview. Your insights and comments are right on target.

The one thing i will give you credit for is that you never brought up drugs and most here think thats the biggest issue and yes it is a sick problem but horsemen could care less and gamblers factor it into handicapping and drugs have always been an issue but with movement tracks like the bigm had in years past drugs were not a huge issue because drug horse are almost always up front and if the track has give good luck to those new people who think 2-5 is a good price,      The new form of huge cheating by giving up needless holes absolutely makes the game boring and i see people producing new children in PEI that will keep that train going.

I wish i could write as well as you can but here is my truth,     Everything you talked about is so ABC to me and most people reading this have no concept of what you are talking about but its dead on,      Your article is exactly what real players talk about but they are all gone but you left out a very important fact that someone is corrupting the pools with huge money going on horses that leave well and that makes the rake even tougher to beat and you have to look for closers because they become value an eighth of a mile into the race,         I never thought that carryovers would be a losing bet for the pro but all carryovers do is eliminate the rake and with the racing so biased on speed and small prices carryovers are nothing special even though it better than no carryover,       Send your article to drivers and management and most likely no one will read it or understand it but all you need is one to understand,    When i first wrote about the death of the game i had one of the big posters say that i have spoken to many gamblers and no one is quitting and this is one of the better writers on here and last join in and talk about stupidity and you will fit in,    i can go on and on but like the guys who have no clue would say it a dead game laddies without telling us why.

Harness Racing / A Harness Racing Data Insider’s Exit Interview
« Last post by tmgreg on Today at 01:55:52 AM »
Greetings fellow harness racing enthusiasts! I wrote the following article late last year while still involved in the standardbred industry. The piece discusses my career in harness racing, where the game is at today and its outlook for the future. Although it never found an audience or outlet for publication, I though the content was relevant to share with those still invested in the sport. I look forward to seeing your comments.
