General Harness Racing Discussion / Dan Noble
« on: September 16, 2017, 07:21:40 AM »
Realize this board is literally dead, however there used to be quite a few Ohio folks here.

Could somebody explain Noble's motives Vs Josh Sutton?
Opening day at Dayton Noble won six.
But when Noble and Sutton are in contention, Noble makes some bone-headed decisions! Is it a matter of vanity?

Shambala!!!

Had to be one of the best bets of the year!
Wish I'd wagered more.

Miki really surprised me coming back out at the end.

Duh! Should have read Wiggle It. . .

Just a single elim!
Are the top 3YO's that thin?

Believe there only two elims for the NAC?

Even that pre-stake for the NAC? was called Burlington.
I recall one year there were five divisions, course it's been a while.

Hal,
        FWIW, I've read in the Craps Forums, that multiple casinos in Vegas are implementing parking fees.

Although the idea is absurd, it's no different than the Daily Resort Fees tacked on to your room rate that have been going on for some time.

 There on casino (in the east somewhere) on the Craps Forums spoken of that charges an admission fee ;)

Recently there was an announcement on the USTA website for CalEx where a race had been named in honor of Keith Willey.

Debbie Willey had been a recipient of many old Cal articles that I archived. Keith began posting them (and pics) on the CHHA website.
 Keith and I communicated often, although not recently. I'd not seen any press release of his passing last fall on the uSTA website. Contacted the CHHA to confirm and was disheartened to learn in this way that Keith has passed.
 Little late for me to be offering condolences to the Willey Family.

FWIW, unless a family member or horseman's org submits an obit to the USTA Newsroom than they are not added.

This started happening a couple of years ago. Yahoo could not trace the sender, but they assured me that my email was not hacked. They are apparently sending emails from a totally different address, but are using my personal email address in the line as the apparent sender. Hell I get spam from myself too.

Gary,
         I forwarded the first email back to you via a website email address and sending to your Yahoo account.
Then received an immediate reply from the 'hacker' to the 2d email address with a different URL.

Despite what Yahoo says (they are full of shit), your account is hacked, else the hacker wouldn't have the capability to view the emails when they arrive so quickly.

I've both saved emails. The headers are different, however it makes no sense at all to send them to a Yahoo account that is hacked (or at least privy) for another to view.

Not that I know of, unless there is some dump like Vegas World I don't know about.

hal,
       It was a dump, however I won enough off of their table free-play (using my own money for the free-odds) (their table free-play was limited to one to one bets), to cover the air-fare and rooms for the trip.
 Stayed there three nights and after my guest departed, moved up the street to Flamingo for the remainder of the trip.

Flamingo had somebody from the pit chasing me out the door requesting that I sign up for everything.
 They sent me mailers for Craps Tournaments (despite three address changes) for more than ten years.

FWIW here's a site where you customize your days, hotel, departure and arrival

It takes some tinkering to determine heavy traffic days for both hotels and airlines.
 Cheapest rates are with lesser airlines.

I'm sure there are other similar sites.

In 87, did all my own booking and bought a package from Vegas World (found the pkg one either the LV Chamber or some other website), where they gave me quite a bit of free-play tokens for staying there. My recollection is it was like $400 per booked person on the gaming tables and $200 on slots.

 Any casinos do anything similar these days?

No OTB's in the wilderness and the closet track is some 250 miles away.

Mount Pleasant was open for simo until the plug was pulled last year.
 Sports Creek closed as well.

Mich., sucks for wagering, and the edges of Ontario aren't much better.
