Go Warriors!

Not harness racing related but I have to give a shout out to the old alma mater, Wayne State University, playing in the NCAA Division II Football Championship game at 11:00am EST this morning. The Warriors will be playing the Pittsburgh State Gorillas for the DII Crown. The game is broadcast on ESPN 2. Good Luck Warriors! Go Get Em! 

Goodbye Bodog!

Bodog is gone and has rebranded as Bovada.lv. From the website:

In case you haven’t heard, we’ve made some changes. We have a new name and a new site. What hasn’t changed is the same great service. 

Everything is pretty much the same but the speed of the site seems to be quicker. Have a great day Handicapping Harness!

Northville Closes

I'm in Michigan for a few days and I headed out tonight with The Clocker and $2 Dad to our old stomping grounds, Northville Downs. It was closing night for the year and there is not too much to say except that it will probably be at least another couple of years before I make a return engagement. With on-line betting, there is just no point in putting up with the crap out there. On a brighter note however, after we drove back home tonight, I hit my 3rd $100 horse of the year (win price) the last race at Northfield Park. Nothing like being able to handicap with no distractions! Have a great day Handicapping Harness!  

Happy Halloween!

Actually, The Clocker has decided to go out dressed as himself this Halloween!

Have a great day Handicapping Halloween Harness!

Someone mentioned they heard about this video on the Pace Advantage forum. Check the harness racing dig at about the 4:10 mark.

 

The Delicious Mr. Ed

An article in Slate online magazine about why Americans don't eat horse meat. Anybody ever have some?

Raw deal in NJ?

Daily Double points us to a post in Harness Eye, regarding the replacing of established drivers with provisional drivers at Freehold Raceway last Friday, October 15th. I didn't bet the pick 4 but I had bet the pick 3 and never knew anything about this until now. When you read the story, I'm sure you'll think that something just doesn't smell right about it. Thanks DD!
