Usta website, racings 'tales from the....crypt'

If you want to read about death, depression, darkness and despair, head over to usta, they'll keep you 'in the loop' (front page style) on everyone who died.

Reading that site is like reading the obituary page. Yikes.

C'mon guys, lets stick to harness racing.

Agreed. I am 72 years old and I don't want to hear about people dying.

Burke said he just worked harder than everyone else. He meant at getting his eastern block dope imported. Couldn't happen to a nicer guy.

Many people have been waiting for the shoe to drop for Burke for a long time. I wonder if this is it? If this is proven, Gural will most likely have to ban Burke, and that would dramatically change the stakes season in harness racing. We'll see how it plays out.

Only question I have is: Will Jeff Gural treat his trainers in a similar fashion given previous offenders that were served Not Welcomed notices to those with positives?

Gural said all trainers involved would be in good standing at The Meadowlands until the NY Gaming Commission issues an official announcement.

LOL!

So you're allowed to race in good standing at Meadowlands if you have hundreds of horses, even if you're a proven cheat.

Yes, that deserves one of THESE >>>>>>>
