4/28/08 KyHarnessRacing.com

When you see the names Loney and Binkley, Brian

Loney and Clint Binkley may come to mind. But those

two are absent from Bluegrass Downs this year. So

then who are we

talking about? That would be Chris

Loney and Larry Binkley.

On Thursday evening, Chris Loney, who had his

drivers license re

newed earlier this year, had a driving

triple. Chris appears to be back to his winning ways,

after being inactive the past five years. On

had a driving triple.

With all the Open and Invitational races on Saturday

back to the winner's circle. From claimer to the Open,

Count Masone is owned and trained by Pat Melloy and

was driven this week by Antonio Love.

Thoroughbred horsemen want there share of revenue

and

are urged

to stay the course.

Here are a couple of quotes from an article on

Bloodhorse.com:

“They say, ‘we will cut purses until they bleed to

death; they will give up’,” Hiles said. “They are saying

that horsemen have no rights. They should take what

we give them. Be quiet and be happy.”

“We are saying, we are not going to recommend to

our members that they grant approvals unless you

pay us a fair share,” said Bob Reeves, president of

the THG, which has 18 horsemen’s groups in its

membership.
