Yes. How many fans did the J Dunn drive lose us? That was one of the worst drives I've seen. Get The Chocolates had zero chance driven like that. punters robbed, multi bets gone. He didn't give his horse a fair chance. And it was a G1 race. He should have been charged in my opinion, but stipes said nothing! I guarantee Australian stipes would've acted, he'd get six months on the sideline. Shocking!

Chunk of Gold is one of this year's "feel good" stories heading into the Kentucky Derby (G1) because the modestly bred gray or roan colt who cost just $2,500 as a yearling makes every fan feel like they, too, could one day realize their dream.View the full article

Godolphin USA director of bloodstock Michael Banahan paused for a moment to think of an adjective to describe Kentucky Oaks (G1) favorite Good Cheer before remembering her accomplishments to date didn't need added definition: "She's undefeated."View the full article

Spot on Blue. Clueless for decades…and now a questionnaire to find out if anyone still cares……

Nikola Tesla registered more than 700 patents in 35 countries of the world, and many of those inventions brought progress and prosperity to mankind. However, Tesla, when he died in New York, was penniless, and if he wanted money he would be one of the richest in the world. “Scientia potestas est.” Nikola Tesla 1st Electric Car in 1918 That Regenerate Electricity from the Earth. This is Nikola Tesla's 1921 Pierce-Arrow electric car, powered by pure etheric electricity. It is a self-charging car; it does not run on batteries, oil, or gas. Electric cars have been around much In 1931, Nikola Tesla presented and tested a new automobile. Tesla had developed it with his own personal funds. The motor had been removed, leaving the clutch, gearbox and transmission to the rear wheels uninterrupted. The power receiver (gravity energy converter) had been built by Tesla himself. It was installed in front of the control panel. A heavy antenna, approximately 1.8 meters long, protruded from the converter. This antenna apparently had the function as that of the moray converter (radiant energy!). "Now we have power," said Tesla? he said there was enough power in the converter to light an entire house, plus run the car's motor. The car was tested for a week, reaching a top speed of 144 km per hour effortlessly. Someone commented that no gases were coming out of the tailpipe. Nikola Tesla replied, "We have no motor."

Yes I realize that but that is preaching to the converted - these other issues are what are turning people away - these are the issues that they should be looking at

100% agree Idol...start small and can easily lead to big...but still a ton of fun..a win is a win...nothing like the thrill of that.

That "paltry" $50 per month can mean as much to some people as $50,000 per month would mean to others. A cancellation may even mean more to them as it's likely their only horse, whereas the big spenders could possibly have shares in several runners over different days each week. Don't belittle today's small spenders. They may catch the bug and later on put more into the sport than they are now, and racing is definitely a sport that needs more owners just as it needs more breeders and more foals.

I've not seen anything that resembles marketing of the Harness Racing Industry for many, many moons.

Not really a statement Insider, more of a comment to the question of getting the Trainers and owners involved. Not sure what they can do about the receday track situation and there already seem to be experts galore unable to come up with an answer.

A wet track would be the only risk. Jimmysstar will be too far back to run down Ka Ying Rising, who has an ability to sustain its speed throughout and not get tired at the end. It will be great to finally see an HK sprinter head overseas, so hopefully he comes.

On a quiet April 28 morning at Churchill Downs for Kentucky Derby (G1) prospects after a half-dozen breezed April 27, three Derby entrants notched their final high-speed workouts for the 1 1/4-mile classic, the opening leg of the Triple Crown.View the full article

Msybe they shouldn’t have gone then Liz ? 🤔

Has to get there of course, but wet track and Jimmysstar ( $7 for the adventurous ) look the only dangers.

Spike mate it is a 'marketin survey' for marketin they look for/at different shite 🤔   Cheers Iraklis

F.ck the all weather track.......trying to get a line on her on a grass track 🙂

Absolutely correct. They (Cambridge) were a tenant club, who raced at The Rapa but obviously didn't have any say on day to day matters.
