All I can say is that my two partners and I had a lot of fun in the "business". We never made antymoney but that's ok. We met some great people at Pompano Park. I remember sitting around the barn chatting with Joe Pavia Jr. And George Napolitano. Used to sit around eating marinated mozzarella balls from Del Preste market. LOL! Great memories! A lot of fun.  Just try to avoid the stupid mistakes we made. Instead of buying 4 cheap claimers, spend you money more wisely. And buy good stock. It's an expensive venture. Our Farrier, Mike Cable was great to us. Always explaining the types of shoes our stock were wearing. It was interesting watching him shod our horses. One thing I must suggest is get the vet costs up front. They were very expensive. And while they gave us "30 Day terms" to pay our bill, they add up fast. Many a owner was "churned out" by the vet bills. So I wish you the best of luck in the "game". I can't tell you who's honest or who's not. But Mike P. and rainman2 would be people i'd ask if I was "jumping in" and getting started. Have fun, enjoy, and ' shoot" me a winner every now and then.

Thanks Dougie for the history and advisement, recommendations too! 

I don't imagine if it launches, many bills, nor any bills piling up, it'll get absorbed in a partnership arraignment with those professionals.

I'm not anxious, as patient as I need to be and have no problem pouncing if we're a go! 

nice talking to you,,trig  see you see at hoosier 

Dude, you're a trip, and I love the pics of Frankie, thank you! 

Shooting to be in Chicago and Hoosier for about a week in July or August...Tues to Sat racing, say no more 

Get a late model car and hit the road, rent a real nice AIRBNB house wherever we go, bbq, pool, see who wants to meet up and party, play cards, chill, cage match live w/ JOHN FRANK (if I can get him on the road)...

I need to escape Florida Hurricane, oppressive weather season as much as possible, so from June to November, any chance I get, I'm gone from here! 

Ray brings alot of energy but overanalyzes each race to death and never shuts up, he also needs to talk without using his hands so much. Peter is an average announcer and not much as a driver.

Speaking to SDST2009 he's (I assume a he) very sincere, very knowledgeable, respectful going back to his first posts here.  Talks straight too.

I'm winding down the gambling, I just don't enjoy it anymore.  I don't have the stamina, and obviously the results show that.

These are my conditions...

I'm in South Florida, let's say I'm alive in 2027, and I want to invest in harness racing $100k and never a penny more out of pocket, but profit, yes.  I'll likely have a home in NYC too before then.

Not in it for a hobby, but a business. 

I'd like to spend more time learning about equine well being, more time on the farm around animals and those who care for them.  Seems very tranquil and the hand full of times in my life I enjoyed it.

If racing, I never want to race an unsound horse, must always be 100%.

If I own a race horse, I want it for life, it's family.

No unlawful drugs, no undetectable stuff.  No nonsense.

Maybe not racing, but breeding, or some other aspect, although racing seems the most exciting, but I have the patience for breeding too. 

Lastly, part of my investment would be giving a (one free) junior partnership with i.e. trainer, breeder, vet, a very crucial person that we would share that common goal to win, be at profit and always look out  for the best interest of the horse(s).

Please tell me.

The first show, a week ago had some decent numbers and was fun. Almost 500 views, several dozen comments on the live chats we addressed on YouTube and Plop, and a dozen Likes!  Mike has a great following and Horseplop showed up too!

Mike is setting up the link and it'll be available today!...For Next Wednesday!

Guests....To Be Announced.

Updates on some potential guests that have showed interest...

JOHN FRANK, all fight no quit has been piecing his life together since the fire he was pulled out in his underwear.  He's moving into a new apartment May 1.  He's had an online presence for 30 or so years, at Plop, Barn2Wire, Public Handicapper...a connected gambler (fighter at the track and elsewhere ) on the Chicago circuit for 50+ years - a T-Bred guy.

LUCPARK and I have chatted, great fucking stories  , a 7 figure historic investor, a gambler, knows the game and players inside and out, many of the OG Ploppers too like himself who are no longer with us, and he keeps in touch with the big guy here, PIGLAND and his other pals...story after story, and he's a helluva an awesome gentleman....a family man with a great gal, a working man, who loves his doggie Frankie (I love Frankie  & Gina Romantica) and all his equine family too   

How great would a Chicago show be...Men of Respect?  Fucking awesome, I'd have to mute out because I laughed my ass off with the over the top stories of these Ploppers who lived and made history in their respective experiences!

I have no doubt if LUCPARK came on and spoke about anything he desired the smart $ would be down on it being the most viewed show ever and a helluva an interview with Mike!   

P.s. if LUCPARK comes on you'll go gay for him, so if you want to stay straight and unfuckable    anyway, don't watch...ya know 

P.s.s JOHN FRANK said I've already ruined Horsepolp  and now if I fuckbomb my girlfriend into orgasm during a hot mic interview he'll kill everyone in my family...you're too late pal! 

(I would never come off mute and do that to my girlfriend on air, in front of y'all, you think I'm nuts?    )

If you'd like to be on, come forward.  Any questions, or suggestions...as Rainman2 says - speak!
