Thursday, June 26, 2008 10:43 PM name = Ben There subject = Sturgis Fair Cancellation comments =
racing only 1 day a year. So when it rained, to what I could see, the track surface became very soggy. I know there was talk about a postponement. But I understand that couldn't happen because the next day another event was going on. Some say the money should have been split. Some say we should have raced for it. I don't know about either one, but I do believe that in the event of a cancellation that everyone entry should be compensated for showing up ( Gas isn't cheap ). This would help keep people participating in the small town fairs. Wednesday, June 25, 2008 7:12 AM name = Al subject = Pylons at Paducah comments =

Also I have asked who was in charge of cancelling. I have yet to get a straight answer. I ship my horse almost 200 miles to race. I understand weather, since I have been racing for almost 40 years. Most everyone there wanted to race, with postponement of course. I would like to ask but haven't until now, why is it so hard for the person that makes these decision to step up and take responsibility and say they made the decision. Hey if it is the right decision to make, then it should be easy to say I made or we made the decision. If was done for the wrong reasons and was a bad decision, then it may be difficult for the "Decision Maker" to take the credit. Whatever it maybe, I can't help but wonder if a certain leader's family members had other obligations and would've not been able to make it the next day. hmmm...sounds fishy to me!! I will let this be known. Could somebody please tell me why the races were cancelled. The real reason. name = kelly subject = comment comments =

if I was elected to the board, but I DO CARE about the state of racing in KY, the horsemen and women, and what WE are going to do to change things for the better!

elected to the board. Nobody wants someone that thinks they are better than everyone else. The KHHA can only do so much and politicians are going to do what they want to do no matter what anybody else wants. I can assure you the thoruougbred industry wanted this as much as anybody so are you going to say they are the reason the casino gambling did not pass??? name = Ken Terpenning subject = General Assembly and Casino Bill comments =
we all going to do now to keep our industry from crashing? What will the KHHA do?? Based on what they have done so far, my guess is a BIG FAT NOTHING! I hope they prove me wrong. It will be 2010 before the casino issue will be brought up again before the General Assembly for a vote...perhaps if we plan now we will be prepared for it when it happens next time. name = P B subject = watchdog committee comments =

organization (profit or nonprofit) would conduct themselves in such a disgusting manner. I also went to the K.H.H.A. website. I was surprised to the fact that there was not a CONTACT US tab or link to contact them on their site. If this is an oversight on my behalf could someone point it out for me, as I would like to send an email to the K.H.H.A. name = michael subject = Terry Cullipher comments =
GREAT NEWS. It takes some big shoulders to take the HEAT that he takes from the KHHA, comment posters, plopsters and negative horsemen. Not only are you winning Terry at the Yonk and Monti, but you have made big checks at the Big M,which is way more than winning 4 or 5 races here in KY or OH. Keep up the great work. As always your site is the most informative KY website on the Web, and as a horseman, I appreciate your hard work. Talk to you soon, Bud name = Ken Terpenning subject = Watchdog comments =
position that comes with a certain degree of criticism and depending on his actions he should be held accountable for the things he says and does with regard to harness racing. As the President of the KHHA, Mr. Stewart or anyone in the position for that matter should only publicly share ideas and thoughts that benefit the sport and benefit Kentucky. If Downtheroad truly is Mr. Stewart, then he should explain why he is in a public forum (nationwide-I might add) bashing those in the sport. It is okay to be critical but some of the things he says are down right uncalled for and unbecoming of an elected official of any kind. After all, do we want a loose cannon like that in front of the General Assembly asking for help for the harness horsemen? (not that he has done this...ever!) But there is no credibility if what the Watchdog Committee revealed is true. (Eliot Spitzer had to resign amid his sex scandal as the governor of New York because he lost all credibility...this should go for all elected officials.) We, as members, must now deal with the fact that Mr. Stewart has been re-elected to the board and I assume he will be the President again...how he addresses this issue and how we hold him accountable for his actions is detrimental to the future of the KHHA and our sport in Kentucky. If the issues are not addressed by either the KHHA, its members or Mr. Stewart then perhaps it is time to form a new organization that properly addresses harness horsemen's issues and represents its members with integrity, honesty and more importantly, loyalty! name = Bystander subject = watchdog committee????? comments =
or anyone else is doing on another website? These guys spend alot of their time, which is volunteered. They don't get paid. name = billy woodrum subject = BOB STEWART AND KY HARNESS RACING.COM comments =
he is really trying to do a good thing with this sight,that being said BOBBY STEWART has never personally done anything to hurt me and he whether you or whoever likes it or not is the president is he perfect, NO!! But are you making harness racing in ky. better by constantly opening up his personal life??? the answer is no, so i suggest growing up on both ends and try to work more together!! I know i will catch heck for these thoughts but im thinking thats what this sight is for the betterment of harnessracing, and i hope im right!! name = Allan subject = downtheroad comments =

again when the time arises unless one of those elected decides not to take the spot they have been elected to and they ask me to fill it since I had the highest number of votes out of the 3 not elected. Either way, thanks to the 49 KHHA members that voted for me, I sincerely appreciate the support and hope you will continue to consider me for and leadership position that comes along as I am here to serve you, the people. Unfortunately, that means every one of the incumbents have been re- elected and things stay status quo. I call upon the leadership of the board and each individual's integrity to use their positions responsibly, ethically and morally, but even more important than that effectively. I also call upon each of the members of the KHHA to hold the elected members responsible for the decisions they make or lack there of whichever is the case and rally together to make sure we are represented the way we want to be represented. In the next election, please make sure you think hard and long about what and who you think would do a better job in the next 3 years they will hold positions and I pray those individuals get the job done. Thank you and God Bless all of you! Ken Terpenning subject = slots comments =

and hopefully return to his fast self. This is his second surgery since I purchased him last June from the Meadowlands. The first surgery, a tieback, did not work. Please say some prayers for him and us...any "good" words you can put in with the Lord are needed and welcome. Thanks! Hopefully, you will see him make his debut at Hoosier Park in May and perhaps even the Red Mile later in the summer. Also, I wanted to thank all of you that have shared your kind words about my story "Things as I see them"...they mean a lot to me and those that didn't have anything good to say and refrained from making those comments, well, I appreciate that too. :) name = Mary subject = Info for those racing in Indiana comments =

man that trains at Bardstown is one of the most interesting people you will ever meet if you give youself a chance to know him. My husband and I have been factory workers all our lives. He started at GE in 1973 and today I have been on my job 31 years. We have poured our heart and soul into this sport. We are willing to do anything we can to see it survive. We stand a stallion who has had moderate success. Can we donate some breedings? We hope to be like Lucy and Neal Shirley and keep racing horses until the Lord takes us from this world. Let's all start asking what we can do to help. Not just the industry but each other. Divide us and we all fail. As a team we can conquer. The current leadership may welcome help. Has anyone asked, What can I do? Please call us and let us know what we can do. 502-231-4977 Anyone else out there willing to step forward and offer some help? By the way, when will we know who won the election and when is the next KHHA meeting? name = vince mcmann subject = ken and phil comments =

not feel I can make a difference than so be it. I will not stop my attempts to make our sport better for all of us. If that is a crime then charge me now. At least my comments make all the sense in the world and are not empty or without basis like yours. Let's not forget the rally I tried to propose all those weeks ago and not one of you spineless, comment giving, sitting behind your keyboard, think you know everything, so-called caring people even volunteered!!! As for the KEEP rally, I was not informed...as were many of others...there is a problem there somewhere if our organization which we all pay hard earned money into each year doesn't let us know nor do they give enough notice to make it a bigger event than it is. Last time I checked PHIL...you are not psychic and neither am I. So let's cut the bullsh*t here and get real with the comments. Unless ! you have something intelligent to say than let's not say anything at all. Oh, yeah, that reminds me...I am still waiting for you to introduce yourself PHIL so we can sit down and actually see what each of us can bring to the table to save this industry instead of picking on each other like a bunch of sub-humans with nothing better to do. In the meantime, instead of posting comments on here that are of no use to anyone, why don't you go watch videos on TMZ.com and find out what the latest is with Britney Spears...maybe your comments will be better suited there. name = New Person subject = Harness racing comments =
you come from ,but the top people make all the decisions.The harness industry is in trouble and we all know it, my question is what are we as a group of horse owners and trainers going to do about it? Are we going to sit around and whine about it or do something? name = connie blakeman subject = khha comments =

they did not do they would have got the word out in about 30 minutes. mr napier uses email, newsletters, poney expresss to cover his ass/accept credit when something goes right, but sends a town cryer on a bobcat to inform 4 trainers and 10 employees at The Red Mile of a very important happening at Frankfort, Keep up the good work mr napier we will all be relocating to PA shortly. name = Phil Blanding subject = ken t comments =
many others I believe you have lost a lot. The rally was a week in advance it is impossible to get the info out thats why Billy and many others went out of there way to let people know.

horses, but more for the state than anything. Bill Napier does not care about Terry Cullipher nor this site. he does everything he can. A big thanks goes out to Billy P at the Red Mile for passing out sheets concerning the Rally in Frankfort. Good Luck to us here in ky we need it. name = fedup subject = Mary comments =
notify your membership of where and when to show up for such a important event? captain bill is too worried about fighting Terry Cullipher on the correct measurements of some county fair track to pay attention to the real issues that harness racing faces today. I guess there is no room on the KHHA newsletter for such important news without deleting some of captain bills propaganda! name = Mary subject = Why didn't we know in time? comments =

horse in any race on a track in membership with this Association without having first obtained from this Association an Active Membership including a driver's license. Any person violating this rule shall be fined the sum of $25.00 for each offense, and no license shall be issued thereafter until such fines have been paid. The proper license shall be presented to the Clerk of the Course before driving at any matinee, fair, or other non-extended pari-mutuel meeting" Most tracks will not let you attempt to drive if you fail to have the proper license. I cannot speak on behalf of the KHHA and their stance on licensing, but I can say in my opinion that licensing is necessary for the integrity and regulation of the sport...it also keeps those that cannot drive or are dangerous to others because of a lack of judgment or whatever from possibly doing harm to others in the race both human and animal. It is not as easy as it looks and you really have to know what to do in certain circumstances or you could be killed or kill someone else. So I advise you to not attempt it until you get the licensing required. If you need help raising the money to go to the driving school or to simply take the exam, let me know and I will see what I can do to raise the money for you to go if you really want to pursue it. Who knows, maybe you will be the next John Campbell or something and make millions of dollars. Best of luck! name = J. Smith subject = question comments =
participating without a license...for 4 yearss? This one is for the KHHA. Does the KHHA think we should do away with licensing? And this one is for the anyone that is reading. What do you think? name = T. Cullipher subject = bpacin comments =
the Fair Finals). It's about a paid representative embarrassing our association and making it less respected by starting races for 5 years without a starters license. It's about misleading the membership, just because you don't like the race secretary that was at Bluegrass Downs, by printing in a newsletter that BGD's race secretary left $43,000 in the purse account, when this was totally untrue. It's about calling the GM at BGD, and telling him that Billy Perkins will not be able to work in 2008, and Napier hadn't even talked to Billy Perkins. Yet he said he wouldn't be able to work. And Perkins will be able to. Bpacin, would you say this is lying or misleading? How about the starting gate at Thunder Ridge? What about the Telephone Account Wagering at The Red Mile? What about asking for $80,000 when there was $200,000 out there. These things aren't even the beginning. And this isn't about me. It's about our current leadership and the future of harness racing in Kentucky. Where does the KHHA stand on the steroid rules. Bill Napier sits on the Equine Drug Council. Will Bill take a stand for the horsemen on this issue. (And not back in the corner, raising his hand to speak, where he can't be seen.) It's about someone being paid to represent the horsemen, not mislead and manipulate the horsemen, or being a mediator for them. |
