This is a result from Freehold Raceway, May 10, of the early Daily Double. There was a 1:2 shot in the first race that was fried, parked to the quarter in 27:3 and finished 7th (Jimmy Morrill) and a 4:5 shot in the 2nd from the rail that was fried on the front end by a horse driven by Cat Manzi from the 5 hole that applied constant pressure until the 3/4. The double paid about 1/7th what it was supposed to, and with 2 hot favorites off, probably should have paid maybe 10-15 times what it did. Reportedly there was a fight in the Paddock between some drivers after the 2nd race. In the old days at Roosevelt/Yonkers, there would have been many fires set in the grandstand.

Guesser--EVERYBODY in the HARNESS RACING BUSINESS is a LOW LIFE,GYP,CHEAT,LIAR,and BROKE!

The game is a dead #! How does it feel to be sitting 3rd on the rail at any price and the A-HOLE driver doesn't pull to go 1st over? Not to good,right? You just lost all your money.You are boxed in and not trying to win.You can't win if you do not pull!You me or anybody has to pull and be 1st over to have a shot to win.
Indian file is to common in this sport.

How come Walter Case jr. can't drive in New York or Jersey? Because he is a junkie.

The sport or event is not exciting.It really is garbage.No value for your mighty dollar.
