Default Hambletonian Thread

What do people think about the race this year? Mr Pine Chip looked good and so did RC Royalty. But the horse I am going to wager on is Jonny Muscles just because of the name.

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

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?
