Yours is a nice change of pace, not too many harness blogs it seems and I like to follow both though I do more wagering on the thoroughbreds. <BR/><BR/>I don't understand why any of these trainers would give Ledford mounts after him and his father were cheating them. I mean these two nit wits were racing the horses they were doping/drugging against these guys.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8560898823512627114.post-78627473658290422162008-01-21T14:03:00.000-05:002008-01-21T14:03:00.000-05:00Thanks Lou.

Oft times there is simply no value in the bomb tris. I guess rakes on tri's, sometimes as much as 30% at places plays a part, but I think mostly it is people "boxing their numbers". It seems that can and does make a difference. To me anyway.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the comment!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8560898823512627114.post-11607351512890303732008-01-21T03:29:00.000-05:002008-01-21T03:29:00.000-05:00Man, these guys at SC are causing a frenzy lately ...Man, these guys at SC are causing a frenzy lately with their results.<BR/>Last week it was that $56 7 of 7 they posted that got many in a uproar, only to find out later that it was for 4 of 7.<BR/>Now this?<BR/>That triactor paid out on EVERY horse for third as NO TICKET was sold on that 4-10-8 combination.<BR/>I'm thinking I should start collection some commission for publishing their corrections.<BR/>As far as the Ledford thing goes, maybe it's not him that we should be standing at the fence throwing eggs at...we should be throwing them at the guys like Varty, Adam, Fusco and the like that have the testicular fortitude to list him on their horses.<BR/>Marion Jones had to give up all her medals.

I have found that when a race finishes like that, with a bunch bombs in the exacta and tri, sometimes the tri doesn't pay as much as it should. I haven't found it to be with the exacta really, but often the tri comes up light. I have never really thought about why, or what circumstance might lead to such an anomoly, but I know that it happens. At some of the smaller tracks I chalked it up to pool size, but Woodbine Harness on a Saturday night should be handling quite a bit. <BR/><BR/>My other comment was about the Ledford/Rucker fiasco as you call it.I kind of feel the same way that the gentelman you quoted does ... I have a post up on my blog about those two plus another trainer on the thoroughbred side ... http://horseracingtalk.wordpress.com/2008/01/15/the-snow-brings-thoughts/<BR/><BR/>Take CareAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
