General Harness Racing Discussion / Re: Meadowlands/Tioga/Vernon Implement Cobalt Threshold

Before today this was the only Cobalt I had ever heard of:




This is a big step in "cleaning up the sport". You are always going to have someone that wants to get the edge on everyone else... that will never stop. Kudos to Jeff Gural for stepping up to the plate !!

I think the 2013 Battle Of Brandywine was the Captains best effort and my most exciting race of 2013

2013 Battle Of Brandywine

Upon further review, I have to admit I think it is a tie for me after I remembered this race. How big of a mile did the class master Golden Receiver go !!:

Don't use Norton, however my FireFox browser detected the bad link as well.

The site itself wasn't hacked, rather there was a link to a malware in one of the advertisements.

 I contacted Janine and she's attempting to correct the issue with Google.
 Janine has converted all the adds to display in text only in an attempt to disable the link.

 In any event, it will take some time to for the search engines and malware detectors to give the site a green light.

My Firefox detected the same thing. I will wait to see if things are cleared up before I go to that f***ing site again.

General Harness Racing Discussion / When Colts Were Colts And Horses Were Horses
« on: August 07, 2013, 07:04:35 PM »
I have been "out of the business" since the late 1980's so forgive me for my ignorance. I thought that a male horse that was 2 or 3 years old (that was not a gelding) was listed as a "colt" and a 4 year or older male horse (not a gelding) was listed as a "horse". I think it is now the same for fillies and mares? When I look at the current USTA results they list a 2 year old (not a gelding) as a horse. When did this listing status change?

Is the horse Aiken? "1972: Aiken, a Hickory Smoke trotter George Sholty purchased for $6,500 as a yearling, is favored to win tomorrow night’s Hilltop Trot at Yonkers Raceway. Aiken, who won both preliminaries and was therefore the highest money earner, was assigned the eight post, while Harold Dancer’s Noble Conquest, the second highest earner."

I think I have my trotters mixed up  slaphead Anyway he is listed at both tracks and 1 race at yonkers

is going for a 450k purse, like HH said I'm sure he'll be in at least that race and maybe more.  idunno

According to ustrotting.com, Brian Sears is listed on 7 horses (so far) at Yonkers and 4 horses at the Big M (so far). If he wins the Yonkers Trot, he may be listed as the driver on Dontyouforgetit in the 2013 Hambo? As a driver would you rather have an opportunity to win the Hambletonian Oaks or the Hambletonian?

It's difficult to use colors as recognition from back then.

Very frequently drivers wore owners colors, which only happens rarely today.

 Too bad I don't have a precise date and the USTA Yearbooks would confirm the driver.

I went by this pic I found:

Shelly Goudreau, the Ackerman family, Rick Plano, Jim Dennis, Richard Farrington, Lou Pena.....their have been some great California trainers. Of xourse many if them came from other places originally.

When I was there in 1982-1985 with Rick Plano, I remember James Grundy, Ross Croghan, Robert Gordon, Roger Stein, Brian & Brett Pelling, Jim Todd, Robert Johnson, Glen Holt (he married Annette Funicello). At that time Lou Pena was a groom for Gary Baker.

Does anyone know if there are any funeral arrangements yet? Where and when? I would like to pay my respects. Dave was a good person.
