Though Thiessen might take the week off and head to his roots, Calgary Stampede. In a colony littered with hacks, he’s easily the biggest.

Blanchard drops in and immediately becomes their best announcer. What other industry allows that to happen?

@RyanWillis1 You don’t worry about names. Just get that money order ready for next Friday.

@doubleplayball I wonder what her barn name will be?

Put a claim in on a horse last night but didn’t even stay to watch. Listened to it in the car on way home. She never got a call until the half even though she was on top all the way at 1/9. You fucking stink Gary, time to call bingo cards. Aggravation never fucking ends.

How about that great OSS program they never shut up about it. A whopping 12 horses entered the 3 yr old filly grassroots today in Dresden. So lucrative that most passed up the 300 shipping bill, plus paddock fee, plus starting fee to keep their filly home.

@Pullthepocket That’s what I like about Mohawk: you just look at the tote board and it says it all. No need to try and figure out who’s dropping a line or who got a new drench. Look at last night Pacino Hanover was so official. Gamblers are all about the puzzle and trying to figure it out

Last night we had shoe changes after the pick five started at the M. Today we find out jocks don’t want to race a distance that’s been on the sheet for a week, ruining thousands of hours of handicapping. Does anyone know we actually bet these races?

@GregReinhart @GateToWire I’ve said numerous times, five trainers utilizing five drivers who are all buddies 99% of the time has killed the product. Combined with CAW and stupid bankroll killing non stop Pick5/gimmicks, the game has lost the guys it had for 3 decades and for sure can’t find any new blood

@GateToWire Miki And Minnie stalling and the pocket-sitter gapping in a 28 second third quarter makes no sense.

Another scintillating Meadowlands race that despite having a purse of $165K only one horse tried and the other 8 decided to just to mail it in until next week. 🤷🏼‍♂️

@john_rallis Jeff Gural’s accountant?

A pre-M1 Pace lunch. Any guesses on who’s accompanying me this afternoon?? #SendItIn

@GregReinhart Nobody wants anything to do with horse racing’s pricing model and the preordained shit racing. Same five trainers with the same five drivers driving the same five horses for three years. It becomes boring after the two year old races

Pace night handle was down to $4,053,560 from $5,099,674 last year.

@Pullthepocket He tripped over a couple of billionaires and went from racing five claimers to having a who’s who in a 40 horse barn. But yes, seems like a good guy

Anyone want to book my Fragment-Odds on Mr. Mamba ex box for the Breeders Crown? Happy for Andrew Harris though, dude hasn't really had much luck.

@GregReinhart When Burke has them on go, they are all racing for second

Meadowlands Pick 5 paid $11

@TheTriactor @GredigNancy @CBCPEI @newstartstbsONT Give her the O’Brien for Horsemen Of The Year 2026.

@GregReinhart And if you do, you’re most likely eating that horse be years end. Catch driving has done an unbelievable amount of damage to the sport.

If you don't have your 2YO trotter ready to go 54-55 or your pacer ready to go 51-52 at the M or Mobine first time out, for the most part you're not winning.

@GregReinhart Don’t forget Epogen Eddie or Cobalt Cowboy or Auntie Aranesp. All suitable names for a few stables and the owners who support the scumbags.

way past time someone named one Arm N Hammer too lol

Stable Genius is racing in Mohawk 7 and Unstable Genius is racing in Mohawk 8

D barn =1 second

When they closed the doors for good at KD please remember that they put more time into racing weaner dogs than getting a camera man.

@RyanWillis1 Surprised it took three kicks at the proverbial can. You just knew that Louie wasn’t moving that horse over there from his buddy not to win the Open, let alone beating the _ _ _ horse of _ _ _ _ _ _ _’s

They just know when the Menary Miracle is in and bet all their money on them. I guess it’s just that easy

TSN coverage for Toronto is akin to TMZ. The vancouver guys, even though I can’t make out a word they’re saying, are the gold standard.

Jody comes out and wipes out Bobby and nothing to see here. Thiessen- an easy guy to make an example of— drifts a tad at the top of the stretch and he’s pitched. Meet the new judges, same as the old judges.

Latest tidbit just to prove how shit the product is at Mohawk: class that’s basically a junior open goes 26”4 56”2 124 150”3. Next race NW 2 or 30K 26”4 55”2 122”2 149”3. Way too many races are pre ordained. I could go on and on but what’s the point: nobody seems to care.
