Will Harness Racing in Michigan Disappear?
By Joe Scarpa
They've been racing at Northville Downs since 1944, at
Hazel Park since 1953. Michigan has a long and illustrious
history in the sport but its days appear to be numbered.
Northville and Hazel Park are attempting to convert to
thoroughbred racing and the state's other track, Sports
Creek, is believed to be interested in heading in the same
direction.
The tracks applied for 2014 thoroughbred dates after the
thoroughbred
horsemen's group
agreed to a
system whereby
horses would pay
f
for the privilege o
racing at the
d
state's tracks, an
not just in stakes
races but in all
Harness racing at Hazel
races.
Park...something you might not be
"W hat it looks
seeing much more of
like it has come
down to is choosing the way we'll die," said trainer-driver
Kelly Goodwin. "W e can die in three or four years or we can
just go away now. It sounds really bad to say that, but that's
the way it is."
W hen Michigan voters turned down a proposal in 2004 that
would have legalized racetrack casinos it seemed certain
that the state's racing industries were headed for an
uncertain future. Both breeds limped along over the next few
years, but their situations only worsened. W ith both
struggling to find ways to survive the thoroughbreds agreed
to a "pay to play" concept, whereby they would have to pay
to enter a race. The harness industry refused to agree to do
the same.
"The horsemen here were already starving," said Bonley
Farms' Karen Greengard. "At a certain point there's only so
much more you can give. W hy do it? It starts being a
situation like you get when showing Morgans. You win a
ribbon and $60, not even enough to pay for your gas. It
might be fun but it's not a livelihood."
The Michigan tracks originally submitted dates applications
for 2014 similar to their 2013 schedules, but amended them
in December with Hazel and Northville asking for just 10
harness dates each and Sports Creek putting in for 11. The
plan was to convert the racing surfaces to thoroughbred
racing after the harness meets end. With money so tight in
Michigan racing circles, it is widely believed that once funds
are outlaid to convert the racing surfaces they’ll never be
switched back to harness tracks.
"W e're confident that if they convert they would never go

back," said Brett Boyd, the president of the Michigan
Harness Horsemen's Association. "It is cost prohibitive and
really hard to see them reconverting back to harness
racing."
Boyd is among those who has issued a warning to
horsemen throughout the country, that if the "pay to play"
model sticks in Michigan that track managements in other
states will try to do the same.
"The tracks want to be paid, which the thoroughbreds
have agreed to do," he said. "I think this could have a
cascading affect on the entire industry; it's a potential
cancer that all our harness horsemen should be very
concerned about."
The battle is far from over. Boyd said that yesterday the
Michigan Gaming Control Board ruled that Northville would
have to conduct 26 harness racing cards. But Northville is
expected to sue the Gaming Board and the future of
Michigan racing likely won't be settled until the courts get
involved. Boyd argues that "pay to play" is illegal because
it is actually a roundabout way for the tracks to get more
than their legislated share of the state's simulcasting
money.
In the meantime, it's hard to imagine any scenarios for

Michigan's future that are rosy. So many of the state's top
drivers and trainers have already lefty and the breeding
industry has fallen apart. Greengard said it wasn't long ago
that there were more than 300 horses on the Bonley property
and now there are just 35. On the final night of racing in
Michigan in 2013, at Sports Creek, the top purse on the card
was $2,600.
And there is no hope of getting slots at the tracks.
"W hat people are having to do now is drive somewhere to
race," Goodwin said. "W e're not in a horrible location. It's 4
½ hours to Toronto, which is a long drive but it's not
undoable. W e've bought Indiana sired yearlings for this year
and the next. You can go for good money in Ohio and
Indiana and, still, in Toronto, so you try to get in as many at
those tracks as you can. That's how we'll try to stay alive."
Greengard said it's become a matter of everyone trying to
keep the state's industry alive for just one more year, but she
believes that sooner or later their luck is going to run out.
"W e are hoping they will force the tracks to abide by their
original dates applications so we might get one more year
out of them," she said. "But once the tracks make the
changes to accommodate thoroughbred racing I can't see
them ever changing back. The question becomes when do
you go down the tubes, 2014, 2015, 2016?"

Eighteen Years Later, Augustine Has Returned to
the Sulky
Trainer-driver turned blueberry magnate Bill Augustine has
resumed his driving career more than 18 years after he hung
up his colors.
Augustine won three races in 1992 before driving sparingly
over the next three years. His attention has turned to his
growing and lucrative blueberry business, which took him
away from the sport. But he never lost his itch. In 2012 he
bought into eventual Hambletonian winner Market Share and
spent big money at the 2012 and 2013 yearling sales.
Late last year he got ack into driving, first as an amateur
and later as a professional. The 57-year-old finished up 2013
with two winners.
“W hen you are involved with a Hambletonian horse like
Market Share and our socializing with great trainers like
Jimmy Takter, Ron Burke and Linda Toscano and hanging
out in the paddock with drivers like Pierce, Tetrick,
Campbell, Gingras, how can you not get the driving bug
back?” Augustine said. That was my background and I
always regretted giving up my license all those years ago. 21
years ago. I got in a wreck and broke four ribs and got real
involved in this
multi-million
dollar blueberry
operation. But
socializing with
the cream of the
harness racing
crop

“This is
something I am serious about. I workout every day and
have lost 35 pounds, I eat blueberries every day and am
on a strict diet.”
Tim Tetrick does not have to worry about losing the
driving assignment with Market Share to Augustine but
Augustine said he would like to drive many of his own
horses in major races in 2014. He is not interested in catch
driving.

Year for the first time, he co-owned, trained and drove
Wisconsin Pacer of the Year Mel’s Z Tam and Good Ride
Cowboy, who shared Wisconsin Trotter of the Year honors.
In 2010, he campaigned his third Pacer of the Year, Mr
Shankopotamus.
Carson's award-winning freelance writing has appeared in
more than two dozen national publications. He has been a
steady contributor to the USTA’s website
www.ustrotting.com, Trot Magazine and Timeline Magazine.
“Bob is one of the few writers that can be serious and
funny at the same time,” commented Langley. “His frequent
articles on the USTA website are always informative, usually
a little far out and very readable. His stories on educating
new owners to be patient about first year losses ring a bell
with all of us. I once told him that I had a somewhat similar
problem but in the reverse when trying to explain that
successes with the first horse don't necessarily work the
second time. He is very worthy of this award."
In the fall of 2010, Carson conducted an experiment taking
seven non-harness racing people along during a year-long
trip into the world of harness horse ownership and
documented it on the USTA’s website in a 25-part series. In
the spring of 2012, he attracted eight new owners and did a
follow-up series of 24 reports on the behind-the-scenes
experiences of ownership. Each chapter had a simple title
introducing the topic and a secondary one using a song title.
After more than 200 magazine articles and stories, his first
novel, The Voyage of Mess (humor) was released in 2009.
In 2005 he produced the documentary film, Touching Home
(Minor League Baseball). In 2006 he received the Hervey
Award for Journalistic Excellence and Best of Ohio Fiction
awards. He has published Minor Trips (Minor League
Baseball) since 1991.
Carson has owned harness horses for more than a
decade, including a stint as a weekend trainer.

'Trying to Win' Revisited
A recent article in Harness Racing Update titled, "In
Sports - Especially Gambling Sports - Integrity Matters" ,
the (primarily) harness racing phenomenon of not trying to
win a race was examined. The example used was Market
Share's effort in a prep for the TVG where he went to the
back, at 2-5 odds, while the next week he went right to the
lead, in a wire to wire effort.
This prompted a couple of letters to the editor to Harness
Racing Update.
Gates Brunet wrote: "Dean Towers' article makes a
point using the NFL on how differently the integrity issue is
handled in other sports. W hile, there's obviously a case for
enforcement which is sorely lacking in many parts of our
game and in most cases impossible to defend, I feel he

used a very poor example with the Market Share race. I will
go down the same path he did, using the NFL and this being
playoff time, would like to ask this question. W hen a team
has clinched its playoff berth and home field advantage with
one or two games to play, would you think it unwise to bet
the opposing team which is clearly inferior but needs the win
for a playoff spot? "
This prompted a rebuttal from David Perry: "Gates Brunet's
comments sound like those of a naive person whom knows
little about what racing patrons think. The Market Share
debacle is a good example. To use an analogy of a sports
team saving its best efforts for the final points this out. The
difference? If the best players are sat and not used till the
final, that information is published and bettor can factor this
into his/her betting before the event. When a racehorse
enters the betting pool, the assumption is that the team:
owner/trainer/driver-jockey/horse will deliver to the best of
their ability and the public makes that assumption and bets
accordingly. Integrity is what has been called into question
and I believe Mr. Towers article points this out. The quality of
the information you publish reflects on your publication's
quality and integrity, I would hope you publish a rebuttal from
Mr. Towers."
Since Mr. Perry asked, and with the NFL in high gear and
harness racing on a mini-hiatus for the most part for the
holidays, I figured I would take Mr. Perry up on his
suggestion.
As we mentioned in the original article, the NFL does take
gambling very seriously, despite them not earning a dime of
hard-revenue from people wagering on game outcomes.
That was never more apparent in week 17 of the season; the
part of the season Mr. Brunet and Mr. Perry are speaking of
in their letters. It's the part where there may be some "no
try" efforts.
One such game happened this past Sunday. The Kansas
City Chiefs, who were already locked into their playoff
seeding no matter what happened, were taking on the San
Diego Chargers, who needed to win to have a chance of
entering the playoffs. W ould it be a no try effort? W e did not
have to guess.
Early in the week Chiefs Coach Andy Reid made it clear
that bettors would see "quite a few" backups playing in the
game. By the end of the week it was announced for all
bettors to handicap forthwith:
"W hen the Chiefs' inactive report came out, it read like a
Pro Bowl roster - quarterback Alex Smith, running back
Jamaal Charles, receiver Dwayne Bowe, linebacker Tamba
Hali, linebacker Derrick Johnson, offensive tackle Branden
Albert and defensive lineman Dontari Poe will all be on the
sideline when the Chiefs and Chargers kick off."
The spread, sitting at KC + 9.5, was solidified. There was
no mystery. The Chiefs were not trying too hard to win this
game, as a must win, but they would be fielding a team of
hungry back-ups who would get to shine on National TV.
As Mr. Perry, in my view correctly noted, that's what sets
about the Market Share and other "to the back no try efforts"
and the NFL. The NFL supplies perfect information to bettors
so they can handicap and decision-make, based on a
spread. In harness racing this does not occur. A "no try" or
"try" effort does not occur with such perfect information. It
simply occurs based on the connections view of the race, or
a driver's decision making before, or right behind the gate.
Did you know for sure Market Share was going to the back
on a speed favoring track at 2-5? For sure? Of course you
didn't. But you did know the Chiefs were sitting their best
players.
Industry insiders like to say "well, it’s buyer beware and
that's why they call it gambling." That's nonsense. You're
not running an industry where customers have to guess if
a magician is pulling a rabbit out of a hat, or if a little
spinning ball will land on six; it's a betting skill game with
statistics, and impact values and past performances. More
apt (and in the bigger picture), that's a reason why so
many in the public think insiders are crooks, like extolled in
this recent article in Vice.com titled "The Sport of Kings is
Full of Scum, Horse Racing's long history of shady
dealings" Have you ever heard of a story like that using
example after example of an NFL player or coach secretly
throwing a game to cash a ticket each week or month? Not
likely.
In addition, when (in a two part series early this year)
HRU asked several thoroughbred bettors who had played
harness racing what they don't like about it, one bettor
spoke of the "control a driver has to simply not try this
week" as a major turn-off.
The Market Share race is not singular, or even remotely
rare. It happens with some frequency and it is maddeningly
unhandicappable. Fortunately some drivers get it. I saw an
interview with Ron Pierce after he had a well bet horse
from the outside and drove her aggressively for the win.
He said (paraphrasing, as one must do with Ron Pierce in
interview prose) "I wanted to give her an easy one, but she
was hammered at the windows so I had to try." I have
seen other drivers like John Campbell say the same thing.
Some don't seem to prescribe to the same doctrine, and
they throw you for a loop so often it's impossible to model
effectively. "Is he going to the back or going to try?" W ho
knows. This is sending the public, who bets $2 billion a
year, a very conflicted, nebulous message; a message no
gambling game should ever send.
One might think this is a pretty simple fix. W hen bettors
complained about something in the NFL, like which players
were injured or not, the NFL created the injury report. In
the 2000's they created the NFL Network, which has more
betting news than the Daily Racing Form. It's clearly about
the gamble. In racing it would seem to be fairly easy to fine
or suspend trainers or drivers who don't put forth an effort
in these situations, and that would have an immediate and
effective impact. It's not like that's not being done in Hong
Kong or Australia, because if you read the world racing
news, you see these offences called and penalized often.
It's nothing new. W hen something like that is even
suggested here, it's like you're asking for a free share of
Somebeachsomewhere.
An airline executive recently said something I found
apropos. "Customers don't expect you to be perfect, but
they do expect you to fix things when they go wrong." Not
trying with a horse when a customers' money has
hammered them down to odds-on is wrong. There's no
getting around that, there's no excuse for it, and its
high-time someone fixed it.

Race 7, N/W $75K Life Pace
It's about time that MAGIC TRICKS gets some respect and
all three of his tries here at this winter meet have been
excellent. After shocking on opening night here in
November, this one ran a decent third against Twilight
Bonfire and then had sharp pace at both ends of a 1:50 mile
last out. W atson barn off to a good start. TROON was a
game first over last out as a big longshot; a possible
breakout kind of mile. BURKENTINE HANOVER was
collared last week against a very sharp foe; he still closed in
:26 and change. BIG GAME HUNTER comes out of
consecutive sub 1:49 miles, that's almost not fair. An
obvious contender on the drop. MUSCLE BEACHBOY
makes his second start for Capone; he was good last week.
Race 8, C-1 Pace
It's really hard to be particularly inspired by anyone in here,
but BOLERO ANDREW has a solid enough history here and
still should be good enough to win in this spot. Going third
start for the new barn, this one closed strongly two back and
then was up against it in his most recent, almost a month
ago. Likely blasts, as Dave Miller's pick. STAND BY CAM
had an impossible trip when last seen here on opening night;
rates a shot. EAGLE JOLT drops for Ford; picks up the hot
hands of Callahan. SONIC DANCER finds the rail again;
this field is probably a touch softer than what he recently
faced. ALEX BULLVILLE didn't miss by much last out; he
raced well here throughout much of last year. DREAMZZZZ
R FOR U was YG's somewhat surprising pick.
Race 9, C-1 4YO Pace
It looks about time to take a swing with TARPON HANOVER
as the former 2-year-old champion came to life with an
eventful trip last out in his third start for Surick. This one
actually took an open length lead into the stretch despite a
tough early part of the mile; moving in the right direction.
HUMILITY was used early last out into a :26 and change
opening quarter; his best would give him a shot. BIG ART
closed in :26:2 last week coming from the Saunders barn;
not without a prayer as a longshot. MANCHESTER was
DM's pick; short priced contender making his second start
back from the vet scratch.
Race 10, C-1 Pace
STOLEN CAR blasted from post 10 last out into a :26:1
opening quarter and did well to finish second. That race
from 12/21 was more recent a race than anyone else in
here; chance for Cat to break through with a rare M1 win
these days. CAM B ZIPPER finished right behind the
classy Silent Swing last out but that was nearly a month
ago; tough finding spots for horses here these days.
FREDDY DAY HANOVER moves all the way from post 10
to the pole; he fits with these when on his game.
BLUERIDGE WESTERN drops and while making his
second start back, but again the gap in races is tough to
gauge. This looks like class relief for Burke's FITZ'S Z
TAM. SAMANDER is primarily a smaller track horse but
shouldn't be outclassed.
The Plays:
$24 ticket ($1 base): 2-6-8 / 4-9 / 4-6 / 3-4
