I think Harness racing is awful. That is what I think.

Thanks for your opinion.

Euro,

when I've talked to harness trainers and owners who admit cheating on a regular basis, it pretty much ruins any reason to even consider harness racing.

I know it goes on, but this is the Hambletonian. This race and the Little Brown Jug are two races I enjoy each year when it comes to harness. It is fun to try and handicap and I dont think there is cheating in these two races.

That I would agree with, b/c when there is that kind of money involved you are pretty much assured everyone is trying and or drugging if they can....So I guess that's fair?

I like the way Mr Pine Chip is training. Hes sitting on a peak effort. Johnny Muscles could prove tough in the stretch, he may be the pocket rocket but I dont think he has the muscles to beat Mr Pine Chip.

I agree 100% Gander. If Muscles can get the pocket then he might get to Chip, but Chip should have the race his own way.

Yeah I think it is fair. Just like I dont bet Penn National, Beulah etc etc because those tracks have had a history of race fixing rumors over the years. But with the BIG money races, I dont think that much cheating goes on.
