Dont' phucking complain then when you don't have any horses racing at your track. 18 for 122 at the Meadowlands and you are no longer welcome? What a bunch of shit. I hope some state builds a brand new mile track with slots and puts the Meadowlands out of business. No Brennan, No Sears, no trainers, no racing dates, and a guy who decides whenever he wants that you are no longer welcome...the chances of this place ever becoming what it was are dwindling by the minute.

But Erv Miller got to race his horse in the final of the Hudson last week while he was still under suspension.
Funny that Erv is back down as trainer on the horse this week slaphead

This makes the most sense of any post I've seen of late. Whatever happened to the mile track that was planned for PA? I don't hate the Big M, but I'm no fan of Gural. Racing 2 or even 3 days a week won't cut it for a track that is held up as the best in the industry. Can you really blame trainers that would rather race at a 5 day a week track that has better or similar purses?

Hey we all know you don't like Erv and that is certainly your right. I tend to believe his explanation about that positive at Lexington last year. He took his lumps and now is back and I wouldn't put him in the chemical trainer class by any means. Of course, he is a buddy of mine and could that skew my view. YUUUP, damn straight. Just like I'm sure you wouldn't believe crap about your trainer buddies.

I have nothing against Erv

I don't think he's bashing Erv...when other trainers had to serve a suspension, Gural wouldn't let their horses race under a different trainer while they served the suspension. But last week Domethatagain was allowed to race for John Butenscheon while Erv was serving his suspension. Made no sense why this horse was allowed to race, when all the other horses that were switched to different trainers weren't allowed to.
And I played Domethatagain so I'm not complaining that he beat me. :)

The betting public feels the same way as you. Last week Handle 2.6 mil, this week 2.5.

Poliseno's got a really nice horse. He was really impressive a couple weeks ago as well before breaking last week.

His 2nd trainer got caught tubing a horse who was in to go that night when the track investigator was walking through the barn.. Gural not taking the excuse he was going to scratch him after treatment....One less cheat, good riddance.. Remember Strand Hanover?

Two complete scumbags are the Allards. Complete filth.
Here's a couple excerpts on them:
Simon Allard had deliberately driven his horse into Earl Smith’s after a race during Gold Cup & Saucer night. He was handed a one month suspension and fine by the Maritime Provinces Harness Racing Commission. At a recent appeal hearing, the suspension was reduced to 15 days, but the fine increased to $1500. Allard traveled from Ontario to attend and is quoted as saying, "I was not proud of what I did and I came in person to apologize for that.”
At 27 years of age, Simon Allard has seen quite a bit in the standardbred racing industry. The now-full-time pilot has seen success in training. He has seen the Quebec horseracing industry crumble. He has also seen what the view is like from the top of the nation's driving colony after some poor decisions which took him away from the sport.
Allard now sits atop the pack in terms of driving wins on Canadian soil so far this season. Entering the programs of racing for Wednesday, February 10, Allard sits with 54 wins from 313 starts. He's added 51 second-place finishes and 40 thirds. His U.D.R. is currently settled at an even .305 and he has piloted his mounts to over $378,000 so far this year.
What makes Allard's current run so interesting is that with the depth of talent the Ontario driving colony offers, many would overlook the reinsman. Although, Allard has shown all that he is hungry and willing, and those motivating factors are proving to pay off.
"My love for driving horses really started at the age of eight, when I starting driving and racing ponies with my brothers and dad," he told Trot Insider. "When I turned 19, I decided to start grooming and training standardbreds. I eventually ended up making the move to Ontario, and after three months I was training on my own."
From 2003 to 2005, Allard's stable put up very solid training numbers. In total, his operation sent out 494 starters and won 91 races. Pupils from his stable notched 58 second-place finishes and 65 thirds. Over the three-year span, the stable banked over $704,000 in earnings, but those numbers didn't come without controversy.
Between 2004 and 2005, Allard received a combined $15,000 in fines and 21 months suspension. "I was very successful, but I went from a hero to zero," he said. "I ended up being suspended a few times. I paid my fines, went back home and started working as a landscaper.
"I ended up getting my license back and began driving again in Quebec for my brother (trainer Rene Allard). When I started back, I was only racing on the 'B' track at Trois Rivieres. I ended up doing really well right away, so my brother started using me on all the horses he was racing in Montreal and at Rideau Carleton Raceway."
After going from a lofty point in training success to the low point of having to leave the industry he loved, Simon then focused his energy on elevating his career as a driver -- and elevate he has.
"The 2007 season was really the start of my driving career," he said. "Horses I drove earned over $1 million in purses. I drove to 191 wins, 155 second-place finishes and 126 thirds for a .307 driving average."
After a 2009 season in which he notched 312 wins, drove his mounts to more than $2.6 million in purses and had a driving average of .311, Simon has been riding high so far in 2010. His 54 wins place him first overall in the country (ahead of Paul MacKenzie, 46, and Randy Waples, 45).
"My dream was to be a driver since the first day I jogged a horse. Right now I'm the leading driver in Canada in terms of wins, and I'm very happy. I'm very happy the way it's going because I'm working very hard, driving at 13 racetracks in seven days, including qualifiers. My goal this year is to win as many races as I can, and eventually make it to a 1,000-win career."
And one thing that Simon wants to do is seize the moment, and seize the moment he has. Things taste pretty good when you're number one, but as the old adage goes, things are tough at the top, something that Simon is well aware of, too.
"I might not lead for long the way Jody (driver Jody Jamieson) is winning, but it's the first time it has happened to me in my short career and I'm really enjoying it."
You can look up Rene's list of positives and they're just as bad and long. Plus they used a woman as a beard through many of their suspensions. People know who she is... Just scummy people.
