Saratoga 8th

Not sure what caused that 8 maple leaf mel collapsed right at wire. Had race won. Looked like a bad step. Rosario walked off. Horse id pray for; didnt look good though.

That was horrific. I am familiar with the trainer and she truly loves her animals. She was sitting on the rail crying as the poor horse was being tended to. Parcells was pretty upset too. We all know its part of racing but it's still heartbreaking.

Was awful to watch live as a fan of  horses and racing. Ive seen a few tragic scenes and this one hard to watch.  I guess they all are. I remember the one with the filly and mare in 1990 when go for wand broke down. There, the stretch drive was neck and neck ala affirned/alydar. Yesterday at spa just looked to me like bad step. Feel bad for all, parcells in particular. He a local legend now and horse lover. Well liked in commuinity - rare celebrity that im told is approachable and personable to average joe.

It was terrible, immediately made me think of Go For Wand as well. I feel so bad for the trainer with all she has been through.

I was at the track Saturday and was never so disgusted in my life. I saw a bunch of people yelling and high fiving when she fell because they cashed a bet. One of the guys had a Tiz the Law hat on. I was hoping to see Jack Knowlton on the backstretch Sunday morning and tell him what a bad look for his stable/brand but didn't see him. I will never forget the cheers when that poor horse went down.

No body ever says that race fans are classy people. But some people can reach new depths of disgusting. I saw much of the same and left after that race, before I said something to the wrong person.

  • dougie: Harness racing Revolution.....I understand why you feel the way you do. But like me, there are many who support the care of horses and the work that you do. Why penalize your supporters for the actions of a few misguided ignorant shit stirrers?

  • Harness Racing Revolution: Here's my response, I don't care. And not a fucking thing they can do about it. Same way they choose to not care. Sorry dude.

  • dougie: Harness Racing Revolution.....I never knew the Iceland connection. I believe it when you tell me cyber harassment is illegal. But if the admins choose to do nothing, what avenue is there for the folks who want to enjoy the "horse talk" in this group?

  • Harness Racing Revolution: dougie, DDOS attacks are illegal, in this country. Plop is based in Iceland. But cyber harassment is also illegal, in the US. Most of these IPs talking shit are US based. Just saying. Admins condone it, so fuck em!  ngc3

  • JOHN FRANK: What the point,MIKE. You don't get to fiqure out those with monikers. At times no one do. But if one inquesitive,trusy me: You will eventually find out who they be. And Haters be HATERS. In 37 years only one bothered me. And I know all ,includin my most hated. Why you think you responsible for slowdown,the same you think you know everythin is beyound me. And there are ways to correct this situation. Don't think you can beat the system.

  • dougie: Harness Racing Revolution.....I can understand your distaste for some of the schmucks on here. from hate speech to political ramblings, it would seem horses are the least talked about subject. I have learned to ignore the "usual suspects" and enjoy "Plop" for the horse talk. Trying to slow down the site is self-serving and punitive. Most "ploppers' would probably applaud seeing whoever admins this site to get rid of the nimrods. But I'm a big supporter of letting folks say what they want. So putting them on "Ignore" as I have, is a great way keep your sanity. LOL!
