What a joke Scioto Downs racing has become 🙄
« on: September 07, 2025, 05:00:12 PM »
 Scioto is the only track in America faster than the Meadowlands now since the renovation of the track. They pace the 1st half in 52 in a speed dual and never come close to packing it in at the wire or if you get an unpresssurd half,  have the ability to come home in 52 on the chooch! What say you?. Is this track short like NFLD was or should the Epogen suppliers get all the credit 🤔?

Go measure the track, ask for it to be measured.

Why not just say your underlying gripe...

I can't win there as a horseman and or I can't win their as a gambler...

Nobody is coy here anymore, just fucking say it!   ;D

Does the time really matter? Turn off the timer and they still race 1 and a half laps over a REALLY nice track.  tmbz1

Somehow this story reminds me of Vernon Downs in N.Y.
It has always been a super-fast track and cheap horses' race there now. At one time good horses would ship there for a race or 2 to establish a fast lifetime mark.

If all the guys just filling races would quit they wouldn't be open long!

  • dougie: IIB, I think the mayor will sign the bill if it reaches his desk. The optics on this issue is bad for the horse carriage industry. Animal activists are adept to using the media to enlist horror and anger by the public.

  • Ignorance Is Bliss: It's now a bill with city council. Public hearings will be scheduled then the council votes on it. If passed it's sent to the Mayor to sign into law. He has already said he's in. Marte just took over, Bob Holden is the actual author of the bill who retired last year.

  • dougie: IIB, I have been reading some of the work Councilman Marte has been doing on this issue. I think he might be successful with passing the 'Ryders Law" Bill this time around. The image of the horse dead on the street has even been seen here everywhere. If the animal activists can get this on the ballot, who knows how the vote will go.
