Batavia downs is probably in the top 3 harness tracks for being the most crooked. Even going back to when joe zambito was race secretary and Todd haight ran the races, those two bet with both hands, zambitos training buddies all seemed to draw inside posts. Race secretary Tom agosti now, is no better. They allow any trainer to come in , lots of ones that are known drug users , on top of the local trainers that use drugs, smith, kiblin, the Russo’s, rice, brandstatter hall, McDonough, Dave McNeight jr, petrelli, all scum ! Not suprised one bit that Taylor Fritz , the old trainer of cold decked b4 he was claimed last week loaded him up to win , which he did, knew he would definitely get claimed for $7500 , she knew he was gutted and lame , she dont give a fuck , he exhusband , trainer / driver Shawn McDonough probably had those needles so far in that poor horses legs and veins. Fritz now back dating McDonough , so she is using his free vet services .. I would never claim a horse from that track because of so many drugs going thru those barns and into the horses, you have no idea what you are getting when claiming from those piece of shit scumbags !
