Well there is still nothing concrete about the scandal in Michigan involving the said to be up to 30 individuals in cheating...I threw out some names including Art McIllmurray and Brad Kramer...and for now I have to apologize to Brad because he is still driving and not hiding like Arthur...I did see a ruling by the ORC (Ontario Racing Commission)effective March 5 2010 which suspends him indefinitely...It will take some time to shake the whole story out...I rarely bet on Art over the past 30 years..he was good at getting blocked in and blind-switched...I remember I got so upset over one of his stiffs I went out to the rail and had a conversation with him while he warmed up another drive...I used the word "Moron" several times...If you would like to read more comments about this news your best bet is to go over to horseplop.com message boards under harness racing...Have a nice day Handicapping Harness...Good Luck!
Once again it is a Saturday at The Meadowlands practice card for me...about 7 weeks until the National Harness Handicapping Contest (NHHC)...I may play some of the picks if I get the right odds...for them click on Meadowlands Practice Selections March 6, 2010 ...in other news about 30 drivers, trainers and owners have been under observation by the FBI in Michigan for alleged cheating...Already Arthur McIllmurray and Brad Kramer came up missing from their drives last night...there is nothing concrete yet in print about the who did it...when there is I will post the news...for now (as well as the past few years) I basically ignore my Hometown Tracks here in Michigan)...Have a great day Handicapping Harness...Good Luck!

Due to the tsunami warning in Hawaii yesterday, I won't be able to post Al Stanley's Harness Handicapping Newsletter until later this week. Thanks for your patience!
We are going to take a trip out to the relatively new Pinnacle Racetrack located a mile or so south of Detroit Metro Airport this evening to check the place out...Exacta Eddie, $2DaD2$, myself and possibly Carl the Closer Sr. ...I am curious if the location has lured some of the Northville patrons.. In other news The Estimator was woken by a 6:00AM Tsunami warning siren in Hawaii...hopefully there will not be too much damage there..we will know at around 4 or 4:30 EST..I will have a write up after the trip...until then..Have a great day Handicapping Harness...Good Luck!
In two months I will be at the National Harness Handicapping Championship.(NHHC) at the Meadowlands...Since I usually do not really scrutinize The Big M I will be devoting more time to Handicapping and watching Replays there to see if I can spot any favorable trends...to see tonight's picks click it on
