Sunday, A pri l 10, 2016 Ev eryth i ng but j ai al ai Mark Loewe has led a nomadic life from a standardbred trainer to the manager of horse tracks of all breeds ? even a greyhound track ? but now feels at home as the vice-president of Ohio racing operations for Penn National Gaming overseeing thoroughbred?s Mahoning Valley and harness racing?s Dayton Raceway. by Bob Roberts Scan Mark Loewe?s resume, particularly the roster of tracks where he has worked, and your pari-mutuel curiosity might leave you with at least one unanswered question.

Of course he has. Loewe, one of the busiest managers in racing, perhaps even a lone wolf in the wagering world, has worked with pacers and trotters, thoroughbreds, quarter horses, even greyhounds and the electrical rabbits they chase. But it?s his current position as vice-president of Ohio racing operations for Penn National Gaming that makes Loewe one of the most unique front office officials in North America. Harness Racing Update | 1 | April 10, 2016 THE TIME IS NOW TO BREED IN NJ! With North Jersey casinos on the horizon, New Jersey anticipates substantial purse increases. “This is historic” Assemblyman Ralph Caputo D-Essex NJ lawmakers voted overwhelmingly to add a Nov. 8 ballot amendment asking voters whether to approve two casinos in North Jersey. “The odds are pretty good that there will be a casino at the Meadowlands... in the latter part of 2017.” “...I believe that we’ll be able to have the highest purses in the country again.” Gural Why breed in a crowded market when you can take advantage today of limited competition? http://sboanj.com/2016/Renaissance/renaissance-documents.pdf Leverage the SBOANJ Stallion Rebate and Mare Residency programs • Breed to a NJ Stallion in 2016 and be eligible for a rebate of up to $1,500 when you pay the fee in 2017.

Two tracks, two breeds. Loewe, 58, runs the 75-day harness meeting at Dayton Mark Hall - USTA Raceway as well as M ark Loew e the 100-day thoroughbred stand at Mahoning Valley Race Course in Austintown, OH, a suburb of Youngstown. The tracks are 234 miles apart. There are days when Loewe is actually in both places at the same time. Well, almost at the same time. ?I?ll leave Mahoning Valley around 3 p.m. and while I don?t make the daily double at Dayton, I?ll make part of the card,? he said. In addition to quarterbacking the two tracks, Loewe also travels to Columbus for the monthly meetings of the Ohio State Racing Commission. ?I can handle two tracks at once, and the Commission meetings, because I have good teams in both locations,?said Loewe. Too busy to exhale? Not really. These days, his schedule is actually a reduction of duty compared to just two years ago. Back in 2014, Loewe was wearing hard hats and a couple of soft caps, one for thinking, the other for tipping farewell. While he was overseeing the construction of Dayton Raceway and Mahoning Valley, Loewe was also in charge of the fading race programs at Raceway Park in Toledo, which was replaced by the Dayton track, and Beulah Park in the Columbus suburb of Grove City, which eventually made way for the Youngstown area track. ?At one point, I was managing live racing at two tracks and Harness Racing Update | 2 | April 10, 2016 M ark Loew e conti nued two piles of dirt that would become racetracks,?said Loewe. ?I was living in Columbus, which put me in the center of all the activity.? By the end of 2014, Beulah (in May) and Raceway Park (June) closed so Dayton (Oct. 3) and Mahoning Valley (Nov. 24) could open and Loewe could begin his standardbred-thoroughbred juggling act. thought he was good, but not that good.? That good was winning the 1992 Little Brown Jug by a nose over super pacer Western Hanover in a dramatic raceoff. Fake Left?s brave effort denied his rival the Pacing Triple Crown. ?I guess you could say I got stupid at the wrong time,?said Loewe. As for dealing with two different breeds of owners and trainers, Loewe doesn?t see much of a difference. Nonetheless, Loewe had put down his condition sheets and picked up a microphone. ?I?m not racing, but horsemen are horsemen,?he said. ?I don?t find it hard to deal with them. And I see many similarities in thoroughbred and harness horsemen. ? ?My first job was as the TV handicapper at Pompano Park. I did it for a few years and then worked my way up, going from the simulcast department to the race office to assistant racing secretary to racing secretary, to director of racing.? Loewe?s roots are in harness racing, but from the backside, not the frontside. As a teenager, his love for the sport had him taking subway lines, buses and trains from his Manhattan home to groom horses at Yonkers and Roosevelt Raceway, but he fulfilled his promise to his parents to get a college education. ?I graduated from St. John?s University in 1978 with a degree in government and politics,?said Loewe. ?Still, I wanted to be at the track.? After 13 years at the Florida track, Loewe took a short detour, putting together a sale for Hanover Shoe Farm in Pennsylvania. But he was back in racetrack management in early 2005 as the racing operations manager at Prairie Meadows, an Iowa facility that was a triple threat for horseplayers. ?It was a unique situation,?said Loewe. ?We had thoroughbreds, quarter horses and harness racing. The So in the early 1980?s he launched a career as a driver and a trainer. Among his clients was George Steinbrenner, the late owner of the New York Yankees, whom he trained for in the mid 1980?s. ?We had a great relationship. I lasted longer with George than Billy Martin,?said Loewe, referring to the fiery Yankee manager who was hired and fired five times by Steinbrenner. Loewe trained his share of good horses, including Threefold and Goalie Jeff, but it?s the one who got away at the end of his backstretch career in 1991 that sometimes haunts him. ?I decided to try racing from the frontside and a couple of factors went into my decision,?said Loewe. ?My wife and I were starting a family and the constant travel from track to track was getting to me. Plus, I didn?t like the direction that racing and medication were going. I wasn?t going to win races that way.? One of the horses that he turned over was a pacer with a big knee who had moderate success (five wins in 14 races) as a two-year-old. His name was Fake Left. ?We got him for $20,000 because he had run into a fence post and hit his right knee,?said Loewe. ?I broke him and Harness Racing Update | 3 | April 10, 2016 M ark Loew e conti nued thoroughbreds and quarters shared the same racing surface, but we had to turn it over for the harness horses and it was a mile track.? ?I?m in the right state, now,?said Loewe. ?My only goal is to keep it growing and going strong.? Loewe recognized a good opportunity when he saw one and left Prairie Meadows in 2007 to spend some quality time with man?s best friend as the general manger of the Sanford Orlando Kennel Club in Florida. ?It was a chance to join a big company,?he said. ?Penn Gaming had recently purchased the greyhound track. It was my first job as a general manager. I was there for two-and-a-half years.? In the fall of 2010, Loewe headed for Penn Gaming?s foundation track ? Penn National Race Course ? where he spent two years as the track?s vice-president of racing operations. His work at the track at the foot of the Blue Mountain range helped prepare him for the racetrack management challenge of a lifetime ? two tracks and those two piles of dirt that would become Ohio?s newest racetracks.

JF: 5-1 ?It depends if the definition of In the next three years, harness tracks in New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Delaware will work together to coordinate schedules to address declining horse numbers and help fill races in all jurisdictions ? JF: 30-1 ?as that would involve too much of a constriction of racing opportunities (dates) that would have a long-term greater negative economic impact on the owners in the sport. It would also require track owners to give up advantages they now enjoy after years of being ignored, made to feel insignificant as the step children of those who used to enjoy those privileges? Everyone at times is short of horses but we all make do.? A number of big-name trainers will be handed major fines and suspensions this year over the alleged Glaucine positives in New York ? JF: 3-1 ?Unfortunately, the trainer?s responsibility rule which I argued against in the Federal Court system up to the U.S. Supreme Court while construing Harness Racing Update | 5 | April 10, 2016 Setti ng Th e Odds conti nued the rule as a rebuttal presumption also has a catch all that a trainer in these cases has a ?duty to guard and protect the horse from the administration?of any foreign substances. Some defined specifically and some generically whose administration within certain time periods is prohibited with outer limits of seven days. Many of these trainers are well known and respected, one I have personally used in the past. I'm sorry to say they will face the same fate as others. The process is the same for all of us. I have dealt with this NY lab and its predecessor in the past and it is difficult to fight the pharmacologist who has been at this for years. This does not for a moment mean that this Class ll drug has been intentionally administered by anyone, but it raises the question of a per se violation of the trainer?s responsibility rule. I don't think these very respected trainers are any different than most other trainers who are, and have all, participated under the same responsibility rule. These rules of conduct are followed by the regulators as that is their own mandate in order to protect every participant and those bettors we still have in the game. Fortunately for the game there are a very high number of samples tested in the U.S. with a very low incidence of reported positives as per the ARCI.? More trainers than those announced this week will test positive this year for allegedly high levels of Cobalt and be handed major fines and suspensions by the state of New York ? JF: 4-1 ?Cobalt is problematic from a diagnostic point of view and its pharmacological effect is still subject to debate as is it excretion time from a horse's system.? In the next 10 years, Yonkers will expand the size of its half-mile track to a five-eighths or larger ? JF: 1,000-1 ?When the VLTs first came to YR, the horsemen offered to pay for a conversion to a 5/ 8ths.

The USTA will still be supporting the cost of getting major harness racing events televised beyond 2017 ? JF: 3-1 ?TV according to many is not beneficial in this technology age but I believe in limited support of the TV effort. A few years ago, when the USTA leaders were subject to unfair criticism for their decision to study the specific TV issue before committing funding in excess of what is done now, that was unfortunate even for the advocates of the then inflated plan. Undermining dedicated leadership with uninformed but well meaning membership outrage leads to reactionary decision making without thoughtful consideration.? A major casino will open in Manhattan in the next five years ? JF: 100-1 ?Heard all those discussions sometime before. We'll have to wait for pigs to fly.? You will become president of the USTA in the next 10 years ? JF: 10-1 ?If I was to be a candidate and was elected I would bust my butt. I am devoted to the game and beholden to no one. As SOA president I am very used to serving for years without pay and while that is the same as the USTA, in my case, that may be that it is a measure of real value.? A casino will open at the Meadowlands by 2019 ? JF: 8-1 ?There are many suitors for a slice of that pie and The Meadowlands choice of Hard Rock as a partner in an effort to gain some inside track has backfired.? Takeout on wagering at tracks in New York will be lowered on most bets from the current level ? JF: 100-1 ?Lowering takeout needs much higher wagering to compensate for lost revenue. Also, tracks are more inclined to take signal at higher rates as they make more money on those imported signal. Sounds good plays out bad. Double whammy.? You will own a major stakes winning-horse in the next five years ? JF: 25-1 ?Maybe Schnittker or someone like him can save me there. Otherwise, I rely on the horsemen's wisdom ?even a blind squirrel can find an acorn.?Maybe.? In the next five years, New York will allow shipped semen ? JF: 30-1 ?NYS sees an economic benefit to its agriculture industry by maintaining this prohibition for its eligibility to its Sire Stakes program and resident mares incentive. While NY dedicates 10 per cent from VLTs to racing and breeding they can and will continue with this.? The New York Sires Stakes program will still have the highest total purses in the sport five years from now ? JF: 5-1 ?Competition and reorganization of formula distribution of available funds by other jurisdictions which become healthy with racino/ casinos can become more aggressive and have the power to be more competitive. NYS may not be the leader, but we will be a real player for sure.? Horse racing will still ? for the most part ? have the support of politicians in New York five years from now ? JF: 3-1 ?There are thousands upon thousands of jobs in the most labor intensive industry in NYS. Its agriculture, farming and breeding components are far too important to the economic engine in NYS.? Citizens of New Jersey will pass the 2016 constitutional amendment to allow casinos in the north of the state ? JF: 4-1 ?Over the past decades, only two referenda on NJ have been defeated. The only thing that may make a difference is the war between viewed economic views of the north and the south. I am interested in the participation that Harness Racing Update | 7 | April 10, 2016 Harness Raci ng Update I had similar thoughts this week ? minus the knucklehead part ? learning trainer Blair Burgess was not elected to the Canadian Horse Racing Hall of Fame. What were the voters thinking? This is not a knock on the man the voters did pick in the driver/trainer category. Quebec legend Yves Filion is a fine choice (see Paul Delean?s lead story in Friday?s edition of HRU for his credentials). Filion is definitely worthy of serious consideration as evidenced by the fact he?s been on the ballot in the past. But with Hall of Fame rules stating only one person can be elected in each category, I?m simply trying to understand the voting logic ? or lack thereof ? of Filion earning the nod over Burgess and driver Trevor Ritchie. Was Blair Burgess snubbed for the Canadian Hall of Fame? I would have thought Burgess would win that race by open lengths. In fact, he should be a Hall of Famer in both Canada and the United States. Burgess has outstanding credentials, including several career achievements most, if not all, of the trainers already enshrined in the Canadian Hall cannot match. Let?s start with the Holy Grail. Burgess has won the Hambletonian not once, but twice (Amigo Hall in 2003, Glidemaster in 2006). He is the only Canadian in the history of the sport, and only the second person of any nationality USTA Tw o-ti me Hamb l etoni an w i nner Bl ai r Burgess When Ken Griffey, Jr. was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame in January with the largest percentage of any inductee in history, the story wasn?t that he received 99.3 per cent of the votes, but who were the three knuckleheads that didn?t vote for him. Harness Racing Update | 8 | April 10, 2016 Bl ai r Burgess conti nued (Steve Elliott being the other), to win harness racing?s four biggest stakes races ? the Hambletonian, Pepsi North America Cup, Little Brown Jug and Meadowlands Pace (twice ? 14 years apart, in fact ? which shows his career longevity and continued success). He has excelled as a trainer of stakes champions of both gaits as evidenced by the fact he conditioned a U.S. and Canadian Horse of the Year in pacer Real Desire and a U.S. Horse of the Year and Trotting Triple Crown winner in Glidemaster. In fact, Burgess pupils have won two Horse of the Year awards in Canada (Tell All (tied) in 2007 and Real Desire in 2002) and two in the United States (Real Desire in ?02 and Glidemaster in 2006). Voted the Canadian Trainer of the Year in 2007, Burgess has seven other O?Brien Awards to his credit over a career in which he?s won over 1,000 races and nearly $28 million. strengthens a Hall of Fame that is only as good as its inductees. That?s not to say the Canadian Horse Racing Hall of Fame is lacking, just that it could be better. Outside of integrity ? of which both Burgess and Filion reportedly excel ? accomplishments should be the only measure of worthiness. In baseball, a long list of star players with great stats are not enshrined in Cooperstown. The Baseball Hall of Fame is notoriously hard to get into, which is why it is one of the most highly regarded Halls in the world and the honor is truly meaningful. In harness racing, we have a long list of exceptionally talented, tremendously successful people worthy of consideration, but not all will, or should, be inducted. Blair Burgess more than deserves the honor. He?s also excelled as an astute picker of horses. Many of his biggest stakes stars were moderately-priced yearling purchases. Glidemaster was $10,000, Real Desire cost $16,000, Frugal Gourmet was $15,000, Amigo Hall was $32,000, Road Machine was $22,000 and Armbro Deuce and Tell All were $30,000 apiece. Yes, the process is subjective and can be political, but evaluating the candidates strictly on merit, the fact Burgess did not make the cut is questionable. He has produced multiple champions over multiple years on both gaits with the North America?s biggest spoils in his trophy case. I?m not saying Filion doesn?t deserve to be a Hall of Famer, but, perhaps, not ahead of Burgess. Best I can figure it out, enough people voted strategically for Filion ? perhaps because he has been on the ballot in past years; perhaps because he?s 69, 15 years older than Burgess; perhaps both ? which, in turn, denied Burgess the honor in the first year he was eligible. While it?s nice to see a class gentleman from one of racing?s greatest families honored and it?s tempting to say Burgess likely will be inducted next year or the year after that, there?s no guarantee, which is why I?m not a fan of strategic voting. If voters consistently select those with the very best accomplishments ? ignoring age or number of times on the ballot or regional interests or likeability ? it only Harness Racing Update | 9 | April 10, 2016 O P P O R T U N I T Y + P R O F I T D U E N O R T H $ 2 0 0 , 0 0 0I NP U R S E SP E RN I G H T R A C I N G4N I G H T SP E RWE E K O P E N I N GN I G H T A P R I L 7 M A K E Y O U R F I R S T C O N N E C T I O N A T M o h a w k R a c e t r a c k . c o m TM T r ademar kofWoodbi neEnt er t ai nmentGr oup Harness Raci ng Update Bit Of A Legend, Wiggle I t Jiggleit top Levy, Round 4 Horse of the Year, making his second series start, won the draw in the second division and his rivals dutifully demurred. Yonkers Raceway?s Saturday night brought with it the fourth round of the George Morton Levy Memorial Pacing Series. The result was a qualifier-esque first half (:28, :56.3) and a :54.3 back portion (1:24.1, 1:51.1). The final margin was two-and-three-quarter lengths over P H Supercam (Jason Bartlett), who outgamed a pocket-sitting All Bets Off (Matt Kakaley). Wiggle It Jiggleit, a four-year-old Mr. Wiggles? Mozzi Hanover gelding, is now two-for-three this season and 25-for-30 in his $2 million-plus career. George Teague Jr. and Teague Racing Partnership co-own WIJI, trained by Clyde Francis. The exacta paid $16.20, with the triple returning $27.60. ?It?s as if he didn?t have the break after last season,? Montrell Teague Jr. said. ?When I looked over and saw everyone else take of the gate, I knew it was his race. I just popped the plugs, never even had to ask him.? Mike Lizzi Bi t Of A Legend N (Jordan Stratton) i s now si x -f or-ei gh t i n North A meri ca Four, $50,000 divisions brought the series further in focus, with the gazing especially glaring at both Wiggle It Jiggleit and Bit Of A Legend N. Starting with the latter, even-money Bit Of A Legend N (Jordan Stratton, $4) extended his perfect preliminary resume, easily winning the third division from the pocket in 1:51.2. Making the first lead (:27.4) from post position No. 5 (in one notch after a scratch), Bit of a Legend N yielded to Let?s Drink on It (Tim Tetrick). That one then led the way (:55.2, 1:23.1), taking a length-and-a-half lead into the lane. Unfortunately, something went awry with Let?s Drink on It, who faded to last, but not before he carried Bit Of A Legend N to the Promised Land. He won by a length in 1:51.2, with a second-over Lettucerockthem A (Brian Sears) second and Limelight Beach (Yannick Gingras) third. Bit Of A Legend N, a seven-year-old Down Under son of Bettor?s Delight? Soky?s Legend owned by Harry von Knoblauch and trained by Peter Tritton, has won six of his eight North American starts. The exacta (two wagering choices) paid $14.80, with the triple returned $54. Tetrick bookended Saturday night?s other Levy groupings, the first with Ideal Cowboy ($11.20) in 1:52.1 and the finale with Mach it So ($3.40), also in 1:52.1. Ideal Cowboy, from second-over, snapped Take it Back Terry (George Brennan) by a neck??Terry?s?first series defeat? while Mach it So went the distance to edge Te Kawau N (Gingras) by a nose. ?

Bushwacker was third. Yonkers shipper Always At My Place displayed good early speed and led through fractions of :27.1, :54.3, and 1:22.1. As McArdles Lightning came alongside the leader at the head of the stretch, driver Scott Zeron put Dovuto Hanover in striking position just behind the dueling leaders. Asked what?s impressed him about his steady date, Stratton offered that ?he?s done all this with me driving.? McArdles Lightning got past Always At My Place in deep stretch only to get caught at the finish by Dovuto Hanover, who paid $17.80 to win in taking his second straight. The winning time was 1:50.3 for the six-year-old gelded son of Dragon Again? Daughterofortune, who crept closer to the half-million dollar lifetime earnings plateau, his bank account now at just over $480,000 for trainer Richard Norman and owner Martin Scharf. As for Wiggle It Jiggleit (Montrell Teague, $2.10), he earned the respect Rodney Dangerfield never could.

Dave Little / Meadowlands Media Relations War N M unn wins Youthful The Youthful Series final highlighted an action-packed Saturday (April 9) night at Mohawk Racetrack. A competitive field of eight three-year-old pacers competed in the $39,800 series final. War N Munn was made the 9/5 favorite in the Youthful final and came through in the clutch for his believers with a career-best 1:52.2 victory. The Carmen Auciello trainee was driven by Jonathan Drury and found an early seat in fifth. Flaherty cut the mile and posted opening fractions of :27 and :56.1, while Easy Lover Hanover, who was going for the series sweep, sat in the pocket. The Catamount Kid came first up from fourth, which allowed Drury to catch cover and place War N Munn second-over around the final turn. Flaherty posted a three-quarter clocking of 1:24.2 with his rivals breathing down his neck. In the stretch, War N Munn fired off cover and despite drifting out, the Auciello trainee cruised home to a four-length victory over Easy Lover Hanover. Flaherty finished third, while The Catamount Kid was fourth. A son of Stonebridge Regal? Stonebridge Venus, War N Munn was forced to skip leg two and qualify due to miscue in leg one. Despite making a break in the first round, the sophomore pacing colt finished second. Saturday?s victory gives War N Munn four wins in seven starts this season, including a second series final score. Back on Feb. 19, the Auciello trainee captured The Count B series final. War N Munn, who is owned by George Munniksma of Washington, NJ, now has over $106,000 in career earnings. He paid $5.80 to win. Also on Saturday, the first leg of the Don Mills Trotting Series and the $34,000 Preferred Pace were contested. Musical Rhythm had been the talk of the town all winter and he brought his impressive talents to Mohawk Saturday. The Ben Baillargeon trainee picked up his eighth victory in a row in the eight-horse $20,000 Don Mills Trotting Series first leg. Driven by Mario Baillargeon, Musical Rhythm sprinted out to the front and never looked back. He posted fractions of :28.1, :58.1, 1:27.4 and 1:55.4 to score his sixth victory in six starts this year. Grana Padanno, who is also trained by Baillargeon, finished two-lengths back in second, while Mystery Bet was third. A four-year-old son of Cantab Hall, Musical Rhythm has now won 10 of 11 starts since being purchased by Santo and Nunzio Vena, Claude Hamel and Baillargeon in November. Saturday?s victory pushes his seasonal earnings to $81,000. Musical Rhythm now has 15 career victories and earnings exceeding $177,000. He paid $2.50 to win. ?

Industry partners from Horse Racing Alberta, Century Downs Racetrack and Casino, the Alberta Standardbred Horse Association (ASHA_, and many sponsors, owners, breeders and horsepeople were on hand to congratulate the horses and horsepeople who excelled in 2015. First Class Horse was victorious in both three-year-old colt and gelding category as well as the prestigious Horse of the Year. Trained and driven by long-time horsemen and Hall of Famer Keith Clark and owned by Robert Jones and Doris McDougall, First Class Horse was definitely a standout for these categories. The Meadowlark Farms filly Divas Dragonfly trained by Carl Archibald and driven to numerous victories by Jamie Gray, took home both two-year-old categories of Alberta Sired Filly as well as Alberta Filly. Travis Cullen had a great year again, taking home driver, trainer, and horseperson of the year as well as six awards for horses he trained and drove. Once again, the combination of Kelly Hoerdt and Blair Corbeil was well represented taking home owner of the year, as well as two-year-old Alberta Sired colt / gelding (with Dr. M Stewart), three-year-old filly and Fastest Boy with Ghost Pine. The Ron McLeod Award was presented to long-time horsemen Rod Hennessy, who carries on the tradition of Harness Racing Update | 11 | April 10, 2016 Harness Raci ng Update generations before him in standardbred racing in Alberta. Hennessy has dedicated many years to the industry in many different facets of the industry and his son Mike heads the next generation of Hennessy horsemen. Long-time owner and breeder Pieter Besselink was honored with the Breeders?Award of Recognition for over 30 years of dedication to the industry. For the first time ever, caretaker of the year was tied between Kaitlin Haining and Danielle Schedlosky. Each of these hard working, gifted women was honored to receive the award, but both were very excited for the other to have received it as well. A complete list of the winners is here: http://www.asha.ab.ca/asha-awards-night.html ? ASHA Rockin Ron wins ninth straight Rockin Ron invaded Miami Valley Raceway Saturday night (April 9) and ran his win streak to nine with an impressive 1:52 win in the $20,000 Open I pace. Driver Chris Page sent the prohibitive favorite, who won six consecutive races at The Meadows this year and a pair at Hoosier Park at the end of 2015, directly to the front from an assigned outside post position. Trained and driven by Gerry Hudon for the Racing Club, Warrawee Rap prevailed in the afternoon's $5,200 third race for filly and mare maidens. The 2-5 favorite was gapped back in fourth-place through fractions of :28.4, :57.4 and 1:29.1 before coming on to score the 2:00.3 victory over 7-2 second choice Joyful Sound. Whysantanna was the best of the rest, finishing 11-1/2 lengths behind in third. More than 50 new owners purchased a share in the Century Downs Racing this year for just $250 each. The Club owns two horses, including the Mach Three? All For Me filly Warrawee Rap and four-year-old pacing mare Southwind Luna, who has not yet raced for the newly-formed group put together by the racetrack's marketing department. Members will get to experience all that is involved in horse ownership throughout the Century Downs harness racing season. So far, it's been a great start for the group with Warrawee Rap earning two close seconds and Saturday?s victory in her first three starts since the Club launched in late-March. ? Standardbred Canada Although eventual runnerup Fancy Creek Elusiv (Josh Sutton) forced the four-year-old Real Desire? Im All A Roan gelding to scoot to the quarter-mile marker in :26.4, Rockin Ron was able to post a pedestrian second quarter (reaching the half in :56) before coasting through an identical :56 back half. Fancy Creek Elusive did make it interesting in the final strides, falling just a half-length short. Tyber Tyke (Peter Wrenn) raced well to finish third. Rockin Ron is trained by Ron Burke and owned by Burke Racing, Weaver Bruscemi and the RTC Stable. Miami Valley has been on a roll handle-wise with back-to-back betting records on Monday (April 4) and Tuesday (April 5) afternoons earlier this week. Following a handle of $395,433 on the Monday matinee, a total of $401,001 was wagered on the Tuesday program. ? Miami Valley Century Downs Racing Club scores win Three-year-old pacing filly Warrawee Rap broke her maiden on Saturday afternoon (April 9) at Century Downs near Calgary, AB to the delight of a large group of new owners from the Century Downs Racing Club. Curmudgeon bows to Finklestein In response to last week's letters: Harness Racing Update | 12 | April 10, 2016 Harness Raci ng Update year. I remember one race where Insko was boxed in on the rail at Roosevelt, and it opened up just in time for him to sneak through to keep the streak alive. Curmudgeon bows to Finklestein Richard Finklestein is absolutely correct. Overtrick did not race against Bret Hanover. I guess when one gets to my advanced age, although Richard is there is well, one sometimes sees things that never occurred. Richard, I stand corrected. John Christiansen is partially correct. Tarquinius had the ability to become a horse for the ages, but unfortunately fate intervened and he left us far too prematurely. In terms of sheer ability, he was one of the all time greats and I considered having him on my Baker?s Dozen. I feel vindicated in not doing so, since after the article was published two different people asked me who this Tarquinius horse was. I am almost certain that he was not a gelding. He was a stallion. I was told that his owner was in conversation with Mr. Sheppard at Hanover Shoe Farms to possibly stand him there once his racing career was done. Tarquinius died either during or after an operation to correct something thought to be not necessarily essential. Complications developed and the horse died. I believe that a lawsuit resulted that was eventually settled out of court. I would have no problem at all putting Overcall on my honorable mention list because of his undefeated season. If that is the case, then Forrest Skipper belongs there as well. Also my dear friend The Captain - Captaintreacherous deserves honorable mention. ? The Curmudgeon / Hanover, PA A nod to The Curmudgeon I was amazed how closely the Curmudgeon and I think alike on the greatest horses, and I particularly enjoyed the comments from those with differing opinions. Keep'm coming. I disagreed with the idea that Tarquinius should be moved up out of the AEs because as great as he was, his window of superiority was just too short. Same reason why Overcall does not belong anywhere on the list. His window was just too small. But we sure loved Overcall's undefeated If Wiggle It Jiggleit keeps showing the form he showed in his first Levy race, he soon will be moving up the ranks. Frequently, it is the non-winning races that show how great a horse is (e.g., Niatross?fourth-place finish at the Meadowlands after a speed break in the first turn followed by a monster brush to the top before the half), and WIJIs second place was off the charts circling dead cover. One has to wonder why all of those Yonkers drivers were sitting out there on the outside not going forward, but I digress. ? Gil Winston / Manalapan, NJ No game plan for Wiggle It in last week?s Levy? With high anticipation I tuned into Yonkers Saturday night (April 2) expecting to see another outstanding performance from the equine rocket, Wiggle It Jiggleit. However, what I got was I got was a glimpse of a supremely talented horse and a seemingly over-matched driver. During pre-race interviews the driver admitted he had no game plan and would let the race unfold as it unfolds. Well, he spoke the truth. The feeling I got was that I was watching a confused driver that perhaps thought he had the field covered by five seconds and all he had to do was put his rocket three-wide and simply zoom by the others. How do you let a classy closer that is starting just one position inside of you out-leave you and that in a relatively moderate fraction? Surprise! You are racing against the best drivers in the world and they want to win, too. Contrast another young driver, Matt Kakaley, and how he employed a revised strategy of leaving aggressively with his "closer". He did not rely on the horse to determine what to do. One thing is for sure, Always B Miki and driver David Miller are waiting around the corner and further less-than-inspired drives by Montrell Teague will not beat them. On another front, I see Yonkers with a casino which has attracted better horses and enhanced purses being out performed, make that crushed by the Meadowlands. Why are their handles dropping? I would be interested in seeing a discussion with Yonkers' marketing principal and what they plan to do in order combat the drop offs. With an impending casino to be added to the Meadowlands in the near future, it would seem Yonkers needs to stem their losses now rather than later. Overseas pools and trot races are apparently not resolving the issues. I do not understand why Marketing is always reactionary in this business? ? David Perry / Dearborn, MI Harness Racing Update | 13 | April 10, 2016 Harness Raci ng Update Meyers fires back at Haaker While in many ways it's against by better judgment to respond at all to David Haaker' letter bemoaning what I had to say about the end of video stream on the Meadowlands, I was hoping I would get a more intelligent, reasoned response from someone connected to the Meadowlands about their actions. Then again, Haaker is a lawyer and maybe he has some connection and was asked to respond as he did. You are right about one thing David, I have never paid $5 for a hot in my life, but I don't know that I've ever even paid $2 because with rare exceptions. I don't eat out, and all the food I consume is made by my family, or myself, from scratch. horrific decline in quality of racing, which was only good on a few select stake-studded weekends last year and has declined this year. The lack of any real response from the Meadowlands and the fact that we are not talking huge dollars being made by the Meadowlands with this change, makes me question whether or not I should just plain dump the Meadowlands at this stage. I've stated my case and will not be adding any additional thoughts or answering any other responses. ? Avy Meyers / Chicago, IL I also shun sports bars, night clubs, casinos and the like, so how is it that I tie to the Meadowlands? I am a horse player. I don't gamble with friends, bet NCAA brackets, football, play the lottery, etc. I love quality harness racing. I love handicapping and I love playing the horses, preferably in person, but Illinois racing is on life support and has been for some time. I have handled over $3,000 on given nights, keeping careful records. I have averaged nightly handles as high as $800 some years and average a 99.7 per cent return on my wagers. I have no interest in the circuses, just the basic product. When I stopped going to the track to build my business, what brought me back was initially watching a short-lived ESPN horse racing show that featured harness. I moved to a local show on Sports Channel featuring Mike Paradise that showed the previous nights?races. When Sportsman?s Park closed and real meets stopped happening, I found the video stream of the Meadowlands. Many tracks, much less well off than the Meadowlands share their video stream and I consider that a sign of true class, of respect for fans and is an unmatched marketing tool for those who may come to love harness racing. While the Meadowlands has a rich past history, the book on present ownership is still in question. The quality of their weekend cards is poor, barely better than some grade Btracks. The Meadowlands management has called on those in the industry from drivers to trainers to owners to sacrifice to race at the Meadowlands. It's not the $5 David, it's the attitude of the Meadowlands and the idea that the bars and clubs, restaurants and gimmicks and now the serious possibility of a casino is their primary concern, followed by the racing.
