"A Whole Lotta SHAKIN GOIN ON"
- The Kentucky Fairs are over and the prestigious Red Mile
meet has begun......I have to admit, being from the east
coast with the BIG M , the new Chester Downs and
Fabulous Freehold, this (The Red Mile) is my Favorite place
to race.
So what's new in this wonderful world of Kentucky Harness
Racing. Well, fuel is UP, Hay is too.. Purses are way up and
so is the Black Box Levels of KHHA Rep Lendell Coleman.
Now.....
The General has taken himself off of ALL of his horses-
"finally" - and put up .... none other than .... Uncle Chrissy
Loney. You know, the turncoat, kicked out for cheating,
stiffing to cash a ticket, failing drug test after drug test and
of course dragging his tube from barn to barn preracing his
catch drives...CHRISSY LONEY!!
I'll bet, ALL of the Coleman's horses.
So let me take you back to last week.
The 2nd race (1st of 4 for the General) Chrissy is down to
drive and "BING" whata ya know. A BLOWN UP BLOOD
GAS. So the judges scratch the old horse. But what about
the other 3 you ask?
Hmmm... Well they all race like Somebeachsomewhere and
run off only to all finish 2nd--GO FIGURE!! No more tests that
night or any other night for the KHHA REP Coleman.
Swiss Miss Coleman said "we don't shake, we gave her
breathing powder." Well honey, I do too, complements of
ARM & HAMMER... Is this cheating the public?
- Well let's go further, and I use the Colemans, not because I
dislike them, but ......
- one Coleman is a KHHA rep and goes down as trainer
- one gets the numbers
- one catches the post race urine
- one does the photo finish, and
- the other leads them into the winners circle.
HEY TIMES ARE TOUGH and we ALL need money. But how
does this look to the betting public?
THE COMMENT LINES ARE OPEN!!!!
But enough about the "Soda" saga, lets go inside the life of
Uncle Chrissy Loney. I went to my GOOD friend Gary
Neafus's barn and across from him I saw WIDE EYED CHRIS.
As I recall Gary said, "Hey it's Kravchak." I guess Chrissy
thought he said "XANAX" because he jumped up like a
firecracker set off. I looked into his spaced out eyes (no
one was home) and he said, "look it's the P---Y." I guess
when your down and out (and I mean Absolutely OUT) you
have to call names like Chrissy did. Just a note to Chris, "I
haven't fought since the 4th grade and I kicked her ASS and
your not much bigger, so BRING IT and meet me in the
WOODSHED.
- Now that-that is off my chest, a BIG congrats goes out to
Newlywed Tyler Shehans 2yr trotting filly for the BIG win at
Freehold. My friend Scott Rollins was training the filly for
Tyler in NJ. I will warn you TY, that shipping, feed, training
bills and equipment fees will ADD UP, so bring her home
when you can. But I am so happy for your win.
Through the BEE LINES, I hear yet ANOTHER has left the
Brian Loney stable. He told me that he jogs all of 30, trains,
bathes, paddocks, EVERYTHING...ALL DAY EVERY DAY while
B money sleeps in his Camper.
I am not there and I know Brian is a hard worker -----
(nothing like his dad) HE WORKS. BUT this is what he said
and thats that.
SO where do you stand? I mean to the Judges. I know you
see this, what are you doing about it? You all want a clean
fun sport, then punish the bad ones. Not the Colemans
(they wouldn't know a shake from a sundae). But their
driver CHRISSY LONEY. Like INDY did to the other KY crook,
rid them of the sport. RAISE THE BAR KY.
