Harness racing level as can be By GARRY FORBES Of The Examiner Most horsemen are closemouthixlThey keep their own that of fool who has been steered into few losing bets Thats the opinion of Tom Ainslie worldrenowned gambl in his view of the backstretchdwellers horse very wellarespected horse was suffering from various ailments veterinarian didnt even agree on Theres nothing wrong with that if horse is sick theres nothing wrong with discussing it After talking about the tired looking iiags internal troubles for awhile though the owner told me he was sound meanng he could after running qualifying race be allowed into competition again in the near future And considering the leii th of time this horse had been out of action he could probain be entered into lowerrclass conditioned race than he used to run So whats going to happen This horse is going to trot out there in front of all those funloving racetrack patrons theyre going to look up his record in higher classes and pro bably bet him favorite Everyone in the backstretcli knows that this horse is just going out for workout though the owner would he quite pleased to collect the better half of the purse But the bettois dont know this And when the animals tummy begins troubling him on the far turn and he finishes seventh ttt lengths back there will be sure as theres hay at Hawthorne an immense cry of heat fraud from behind the enclosed glass aircoiiditioned grandstand it happens every day at every raceway iii the world if hose doesnt run exactly the way the majority of the bettors predict it will it means the whole business is sham toiisider this racetrack depends on customers Win or lose harness track in Ontario takes 12 percent of every 52 et of which half goes directly to the horsemen iii the form of purse money If horseman is caught trying to pull fast one he would have to try it under the scrutiny of at least four judges press and some very able exixrieiiced handicap pers its very safe bet that word will spread fast and people being as they are will refuse to come to the SWliKll ing establishment Everybtxly loses the hettors because in horse race han dicapping its the more the merrier the horsemen because drastic drop in attendance means drop in purse money and especially the track and the industry which is controll ed by very capable businessmen who got that way because they dont take losses easily There have been instances when shenanigans haic been successfully illilllotYtltd And there have been instances when horsemen have been caught in the act ilil the pcnalt ies are severe heating is reputation the harness racing industry was tagged with in the old days when the sport was iii is early growth period With the development of more sophisticated techniques brought about by the track owners and horsemen themselves it has come to be that anyone who attempts to make tiiciiiselves an extra little bit at the expense of the bet ting public is simply tool linal word from respected harness racing writer and handicapper Harry Meadows Tell the poor souls who believe that harness racing is rife with chicaiiery to take off counsel because they are brought up that way in the rural tradition and because thev know that Hell hath no fury like ing expert in his book Ainslies omplete Guide to Harness Ractng And from my experience Ainslie is very accurate gt Thats when it surprised me when during conversation with an owner few weeks back was told that particular some of which the owner and the Gary Walter right of Penetonguishene Junior Kings throws his arms around
