Don't know what to tell ya, porchy....I couldn't really figure out what you were trying to say, so I just looked up yesterday's results 08/08 @ DRF--no Scioto Downs. Went to Equibase--Nada. It's almost 1:30AM here in Cali and I've been looking at numbers for hours, so it might be me LOL. Anyone gets it figured out let us knuckleheads know--Good Night All

I have been to the races for 40 years. I have never seen a horse run so bad

for a 3700 dollar purse . Then next race win a 100,000 dollar race.

I wonder if anyone else has seen such a dramatic move up in class and win after running poorly for such a cheaper class and purse.

I'm not a harness guy, but this was not that dramatic. The horse had raced at Scioto Downs a few back against the logical horses in the race and actually finished second.

As far as the fair race, it looks like the horse lost stride and that is why it lost by so much. The horse was in the lead most of the race.

Betting barns will sandbag their horse in order to get better odds in succeeding races. It's been done for quite some time. In BOTH breeds...
And that is not intended to be cynical nor am I offering a conspiracy theory. Just an observation.
Bettors often miss these inexplicable drop offs in performance and fail to look more than two races back in the performance lines. They also miss important changes in equipment.
Lastly. it could have been "one of those days" when the horse in question simply threw in a clunker. It happens.

The fact that the "sandbagged" race wasn't at a farm track, the purse was $40,000 and not $3700, and the horse led for most of the race are also wrong "facts" from the original post.

Then why the $100 dollar gift? If all that happened was a logical horse that was fast enough to lead ,broke stride in its last race?
