Did Pierce Make the Right Move? Only Time Will
Tell
By Bill Finley
As things stand now, Ron Pierce's move to Yonkers has
been everything he could
have hoped for and more.
The purses are huge there,
considerably bigger than
they are at the
Meadowlands, and Pierce
has been a dominant force
at Yonkers from the
second he announced his
intention to be a
Ron Pierce has been lighting
Friday-Saturday regular
‘em up at Yonkers
there. He came into last
night's card at Yonkers
with 14 wins from 44 drives and added 1 more win and 10
more starts last night. On most nights, there's simply more
money to be made at Yonkers than there is at the
Meadowlands.
But that doesn't necessarily mean that Pierce made the
right decision.
Pierce has come right out and said that it's all about the
money, but the real money to be made in harness racing is
not at Yonkers and not at the Meadowlands, but anywhere
where there is a Grand Circuit race going on. If Pierce
remains a factor on the Grand Circuit scene then the move
to Yonkers will have been a wise one. If he does not then the
move to Yonkers will actually cost him.
The reason that so many top drivers still slug it out night
after night at the Meadowlands racing for purses that don't
stack up to those at the top slots tracks is because they
benefit from a prestige factor that exists at the Big M and
nowhere else. Fair or not, owners and trainers still view the
Meadowlands as some place special, and they choose the
top names from there when choosing drivers for their Grand
Circuit horses.
That's a big reason why Tim Tetrick and Yannick Gingras
remain the two most successful Grand Circuit drivers in the
sport–not only are they good, they are good at the
Meadowlands. That's why young up-and-comer Scott Zeron
chose the Meadowlands and not Yonkers when making the
move from Canada. The flip side is Jason Bartlett. He's an
outstanding driver and wins a ton of races at Yonkers. But
come Grand Circuit time he becomes all but invisible.
Bartlett was ninth in North American in earnings in 2013,
good but not Tetrick or Gingras good.
Before he said goodbye to the Meadowlands Pierce
might have wanted to consult with the two other top drivers
who made the same move before him, George Brennan
and Brian Sears. If he did he might have gotten two very
different answers.
Brennan last drove regularly at the Meadowlands in
2010, when he was on top of the world. He was the
leading driver at the Meadowlands that year with 247
winners and his overall earnings for the year were $12.6
million. Yet, he sensed that the Meadowlands was going to
continue to go down hill and couldn't ignore how much
money was being paid out at Yonkers. In 2011 he became
a Yonkers regular and, at first, it looked like a brilliant
move. In his first full year there, his mounts made a $14.5
million, a career best for Brennan. Based on the driver's
cut of 5 percent of purses earned, he made about $85,000
more in 2011 at Yonkers than he did in 2010 at the
Meadowlands.
But it didn't last.
Brennan's drives earned $10.8 million in 2012 and $9.1
million in 2013. He's now making less than he did in his
last year at the Meadowlands and the reason is simple:
he's no longer a factor on the Grand Circuit. In his case,
there are other factors to consider. Brennan said he likes

Based on earnings, a look at how the careers of George
Brennan any Brian Sears have gone with their moves from
the Meadowlands to Yonkers
Yonkers not just for the money but because he can focus on
one track and not have to drive all over the place, which is
required of Meadowlands drivers who also have to go to
Chester and Dover because the Big M has so few dates. It's
a quality of life issue. He's also doing worse at Yonkers
because Sears took a lot of winners away from him and
everyone else.
Sears left the Meadowlands at the start of 2013 and the
result was a huge year. He won 507 races and his earnings
went from $9.9 million in 2012 to $13.7 million. That's a
difference of $190,000 in his bank account.
Yet at Yonkers Sears and Brennan had similar years, with
Sears earning $8.7 million to Brennan's $8.4 million. The
difference is that Sears made $4 million outside of Yonkers
while Brennan made just $700,000.
Sears managed to do both, win at Yonkers and win on the
Grand Circuit, and that was the key to what was for him a
phenomenal year. Can he keep it up or will his earnings, like
Brennan's, eventually begin to slide?
The next test case is Pierce. There's no doubt that he's
going to make a lot of money virtually any night that he
drives at Yonkers, but the real key to his year will be how he
fares on the Grand Circuit. Sears has made it work and
Brennan made it work, but only for a while.
Pierce might be 57 but he's still very good and he has said
that he wants to remain active on the Grand Circuit. He has
the talent and the drive and he might just have the type of
perfect year that Sears had in 2013. Or will he? These
questions aren't as obvious as they may seem.

Back in 2008 I was a little miffed. W eek after week after

the best three year old colt pacer to look through a bridle

win a weekly poll. I was cranky and so were a lot of
hard-core horseplayers.
Then one day Moira Fanning of the Hambletonian

She was right. The key words in the first paragraph were
"I" and "thought". Dewey was undefeated, looked great,

vote. At that point of the year, you had a horse who was not
defeated, against another with the same record. "I thought" it
was a bad vote, but I didn't know, and we never know.
This prediction or poll
game makes you
humble, so "just an
opinion" is a phrase we
can all remember to
respect. Take it from the
guy who wrote in
Harness Racing Update
last December that the
four year old ranks would
be dominated by Sweet
Lou this year (sorry for
A Rocknroll Dance deserved an
O’Brien Aw ard over Foiled Again the jinx, Ron), and the
December before, that
(Lisa Photo)
the Horse of the Year
would be Drop The Ball (sorry too, Ross).
However, sometimes - just sometimes - things really make
one wonder. Sometimes "just an opinion" does not apply,
because an opinion can be so far out in left field, when it
looks to its right, Karl Marx is standing there.
The O'Brien Awards - Canada's version of the Dan Patch were held this past weekend in lovely Prince Edward Island.
The expected won, like the all-world I Luv The Nitelife for
three-year-old filly pacer, Canadian stand-out Riveting Rosie
for two-year-old trotter, and the extremely talented
Precocious Beauty for two year old filly pacer, among others.
Then came the "shake my head" (or as the kid's say
"smh").
Look, I love John Campbell. He is Mr. Harness Racing. He
treats the sport well, has given back what he is getting out of
it; he is an ambassador and an all around nice fella. But is
he worth a vote for Canadian driver of the year? He raced in
47 times in Canada in 2013, and did not win a race. Sure,
that is obviously not reflective of his ability; he was driving
tons of longshots and did bring home six seconds and eight
thirds and made the connections some coin. He'll probably
win at a 40% rate next year, anyway.
But I think John might be embarrassed he even got a
mention. Smh.
The curiosity for me continued. Like I do John Campbell, I
love Foiled Again. I made him my third top horse of the
millennium in a column here a few months ago. He is
arguably my favorite horse in the here and now and might be
for some time. But he did not deserve to win older pacer of
the year over A Rocknroll Dance.
Let me explain. Foiled Again raced three times on
Canadian soil (which is what the vote is based on). In the
Molson Pace in May, he came third. In his Canadian Pacing
Derby elimination, he came third. In the final, he came third.
His record was 3-0-0-3. He did not win a race north of the
48th.
A Rocknroll Dance raced three times on Canadian soil,
too. He won the elimination of the Canadian Pacing Derby in
147.3, and the $651,000 final in a (tied) track record in
147.2. This was two thirds of a three sub-1:48 mile stretch,
which was never before done in harness racing. The
Canadian Pacing Derby is the longest running and richest
race for older pacers in the country.
The aged pacer of the year in a country should at least
win a race in the country. I don't think that's asking too
much. I feel sorry for A Rocknroll Dance. Not only do I
think he should've won Three-Year-Old of the Year last
season (he won all those "Grade I" stakes, remember?")
but he can't even beat a horse for an award that didn't win
a race.
In addition the Foiled Again (remember, I love this horse,
so it's nothing personal old buddy) story continued. He
received six first place votes for Horse of the Year. His
opponent? Bee A Magician.
Bee a Magician went ten for ten on Canadian soil, and is
likely the Horse of the Year in the US. How does she give
up votes to a horse who didn't even win a race? Smh.
Maybe the instructions for awards, or polls in our sport,
are not given out correctly. Maybe a vote for Foiled Again
was considered a lifetime achievement award, maybe
someone hit the wrong box, maybe John Campbell's
second cousin has a vote and votes for him every year, or
maybe someone's cat voted. I really don't know.
Sometimes these awards are pretty comical, maddening
and strange. But something tells me it won't be the last
time, me, you and everyone else will have to "smh" after
an award ceremony.

Tetrick Has More to Say About Kicking
Some four months after being fined for kicking
Captaintreacherous in the stretch drive of the Tattersalls at
the Red Mile Tim Tetrick still isn't apologizing for his actions.
Appearing on the Meadowlands' "In the Sulky" program
Friday night with Sam McKee Tetrick said the anti-kicking
rules in the sport need to be changed.
"My theory on that is that it's not really kicking, it's nudging
or urging, and it's a lot better than taking your whip and
slashing on the horse with the whip," Tetrick said. "The way
the rule is written now, I think we need to change the rule.
W e need to
reword the
ruling. The last
thing I want to
do is to abuse
the horse. I try
not to hit them
very much. I try
to hand drive
them."

hooked up in a
dramatic stretch
duel in the Oct. 5 race, but the real focus afterward was the
actions of Tetrick and Brian Sears, who drove Vegas
Vacation. Both were clearly kicking their horses and were
fined.
"That was a great race and instead of everybody talking
about the kicking I think we should have seen how two great
champions were fighting it out down the lane," Tetrick said.
"Captain was passed at the seven-eighths and he fought
back and fought that other horse off. W hether it was kicking
or nudging, the horse just fought back and did what he had
to do.
"W e're dropping our foot down and brushing the hock.
That's not kicking. It definitely does not hurt the animal and,
if anything, they respond from it. We're trying to make our
horses do their best for the owners, for the gamblers and for
ourselves, and that's very important. The owners want to win
and the gamblers want to win and the fans want to see great
racing.”
Monticello Horsemen Release Statement
by Alan Schwartz, president, Monticello Harness
Horsemen's Association
I offer this to help those who are concerned about the
future of harness racing in New York State. Please allow
me to answer some of the queries I have received from
horse racing fans and others about the contract stalemate
with Empire Resorts at Monticello Raceway.
The Monticello stalemate is about saving our industry
from those private New York racetrack operators who want
to morph into standalone casinos. It is about an effort to
stop the track owners from destroying harness racing by
actively telling legislators and other government officials in
Albany that increasing the track operators’ profits and
shortchanging racing is the right thing to do. The New York
Gaming Association (NYGA) members (consisting of all
seven NY harness track owners, as well as the owners of
Finger Lakes Racetrack and Resorts W orld in Queens) are
hell bent on maximizing profits for themselves through the
death of the Agriculture and Racing industries. They do
this by pointing to racing deficiencies they themselves are
orchestrating.
Consider that, despite the fact that New York State offers
racino operators a dollar for dollar reimbursement for
marketing racing, most don't spend a dime marketing the
sport. Worse still, the track operators blame the horsemen
for not cutting purses to market the sport; of course, unlike
the track operators, the horsemen would receive no
(continued on next page)
HarnessRacingUpdate.com

reimbursement. By not marketing racing with money literally
given to them by the state, the tracks simply seek to hasten
the end of racing. The sooner they get rid of racing, the more
money will flow into their pockets from VLTs, and soon slot
machine and table game revenue. The tracks continue to
receive roughly half of all racing and simulcasting revenue,
but that apparently isn’t good enough for them.
Think again about these
racetrack operators going to
Albany and hiring virtually every
lobbyist in the state to sell a bill of
goods. They argue that the state
should limit the future of the
agriculture and racing industries by capping payments and
stifling the growth of a 4.2 billion dollar industry and the
livelihoods of 32,000 people. Then they argue for a better tax
rate for themselves on casino games. All the while, they
have the audacity to trumpet their support for racing and
agriculture on their website. They are fooling no one.
NYGA argues that the renaissance in racing should be
stopped because the horsemen are getting too much from
the expanded gaming revenue the VLTs have brought to
New York. They selfishly hide the fact they make three-fold
the amount the horsemen receive. That doesn’t account for
all of the related sales they make, like on a $4 bottle of
water. Funny, but the law they lobbied for doesn’t cap their
revenue. Putting a cap on the future of racing is today's
latest assault on our industry. As the harness track operators
gain casino growth and exponential power in the state's
capitol, don’t be surprised if you see deeper racing industry
cuts in the future. Plug in any state capitol you want; Albany;
Harrisburg and, don't be fooled, Trenton too.
Monticello is the first to face this challenge directly. The
Monticello Harness Horsemen's Association supported a
casino here, thinking we would not be neglected. W e
extended our agreement with the track for at least eighteen
months before the stalemate in an effort to try to work things
out. First, we want to see what the law would provide. Then,
we waited to see if the statewide casino amendment would
be approved in early November. Later that month, Monticello
slammed the door in our face. Obviously, NYGA has drawn
the line.
The hope was to negotiate something fairer than a 2013
purse level cap and a yearly consumer price index (CPI)
increase. The yearly CPI is negligible, hovering at about
1.4%. In one recent year, it was actually a negative number.
Think about how much the price of diesel or a bag of sweet
feed has gone up in recent years. The cap and CPI
‘increase’ would assure our destruction.
Realize that instead of growing purses at the current 8.75
% VLT level (and N.Y. Sire Stakes by 1.25%), the tracks will
now have slot machines; this permits them to get rid of VLTs
and the horsemen and breeders’ percentages that flow from
them, while the tracks increase revenue and grow.
These track operators engineered a law that will, for all
intent and purposes, freeze our industry out of existence in
the long term. Tell your supplier of feed, your vet and
blacksmith that they can't raise their prices above 2013
levels in the years to come because of the selfish action of
the NYGA track owners. Think about all the free play
money doled out to the VLT players, while a handicapper
gets but a torn up ticket on a horse race at the same
venue. As was said not too long ago "If you don't fight for
your future, you may wake up one day and wonder why
you don't have one."
MHHA’s leadership has tried, and continues to try in
good faith to negotiate with management something that is
fair and reasonable. We seek to moderately share in their
casino revenue success above the cap foisted upon us by
them in the latest version of the law.
The MHHA has very few weapons in this fight, but we
would be even more foolish after eighteen months of failing
to realize some progress not to use them. W e are aware
that the exported simulcast signal and its pools are
important to the loyal fans of the daytime harness racing
Monticello and its horsemen provide. W e are also acutely
aware of the loss of revenue to the track, the horsemen
and the industry. Yet, we have pondered just how much
money these track operators strive for while they
jeopardize and entire industry for their own profit; a racing
industry that worked hard to spawn the birth of VLTs at
tracks in this and other states. W e cannot just sit by and
watch an industry get swallowed up by a handful of track
operators professing to be concerned about our sport,
whose ultimate goal is to kill it.
The right to withhold the export of signal from Monticello
across the N.Y.S. line is a right granted to horsemen by
Federal law. That 1978 law very wisely recognizes that the
horsemen at a host track are the real guardians of this
sport. It armed the horsemen with the important tool to use
only when they perceived a crisis threatening the very
existence of the game. It has been used very sparingly and
with the utmost of caution.
I recall the law being invoked in 1987/88 by the
horsemen at Roosevelt Raceway when management
refused to sign a contract with anyone in order to clear the
path to closing its doors. Ultimately, management not only
closed, but stole the overnight purse account on the way
out the doors. Also, as an MHHA board member in 2006,
we withheld simulcasting consent here at Monticello.
At Roosevelt, had permission to simulcast been granted,
its Management would simply have taken even more
money from the horsemen’s pocket when its plan to close
was realized. At Monticello, we have watched these
developments over the years. W e can no longer support a
casino here that excludes the growth we have all;
agricultural; racing and breeding shared, over the years.
W e will not fold up our tents and watch our game be
destroyed by greed. W e remain hopeful that the N.Y.S.
mediator, appointed by the Gaming Commission, will
continue to work to bring us to some common and sensible
ground upon which to preserve each other’s goals in a
reasonable, and not one-sided, fashion. After eighteen
months, we would welcome some progress. Hopefully, the
next time you hear from me, the news will be better for our
game.

Monticello’s Response
In response to a statement issued by Monticello Harness
Horsemen's Association president Alan Schwartz regarding
the impasse between the horsemen and Monticello Raceway
management that has led to the curtailing of simulcasting
from the track, Charles Degliomini, executive vice president
of Empire Resorts/Monticello Raceway has issued the
following statement:
Monticello Casino & Raceway
("MC&R”) continues to support the
Upstate New York Gaming
Economic Development Act
("Gaming Act”). When they
authored the Gaming Act, the Senate, Assembly and the
Executive protected the Monticello Harness Horsemen's
Association ("MHHA”), and the entire racing industry. As
New York State moves toward approving four casinos in
upstate New York, future revenue for the horsemen is
governed by the Gaming Act, and current revenue is
governed by the New York State Lottery for Education Law.
It is sad and unfortunate that we are being attacked for
legislation that actually protects harness horsemen's
interests. While MC&R continues in good faith, through
negotiation and mediation, to attempt to secure an
agreement with MHHA, the MHHA is now attempting to
amend a law that they don't like by unfairly punishing our
business, our employees, our loyal customers and even their
own members. We are simply track owners, not elected
officials. The MHHA should stop this destructive behavior
and turn the simulcasting signal back on.
I hope the industry recognizes that when they decide
who to use on their stakes horses but, again, people tend
to do what is in their own self interest. I think we still have
the best drivers in the world at the Meadowlands and I
appreciate the guys who have stayed very much.
This winter, along with the Super Bowl break, has been
very hard on us, but I hope the industry appreciates the
fact that we don't close when a few flakes fall and we try to
maintain the racing surface no matter what the cost.
Hopefully, we will get a casino some day because this is
not easy and losing top drivers doesn't make it any easier.

Murray Brown is No Fan of Claiming Races
The recent situation regarding the claiming of the mare
Sydney Seelster brings this up.
I am probably among the very few Harness Racing fans
who remember when there was no such thing as claiming
races or they were very rare indeed. It was a great and
competitive sport when we didn't have them. I believe the
sport would be much better of if we were rid of them. I
know that the likelihood of my being berated for my view is
a guarantee. But those who know me, know that for better
or worse, venturing into the lion’ s den has never really
bothered me.
In short: I CONSIDER CLAIMING RACES TO BE AN
ABOMINATION TO THE SPORT.
I believe that a good racing secretary can put together
competitive race cards by utilizing conditioned or classified
racing or a combination of the two. In so doing she or he
can not only put together good and competitive racing, but
also shed us of all the ill feeling produced by claims as
exemplified by the recent situation regarding Sydney
Weaver and her mare Sydney Seelster.
Another negative regarding claimers is that the likelihood
of horses being treated beyond the pale increases with
their presence. After all, if a person has a horse in his
possession for a very limited period of time, the chances

seen described as masterfully as Dean Towers did in his

community to take care of their own in times of adversity,
and to endure the long hours of early morning training and
late night racing with a tired smile on their faces. Thank you

Where to Find Prix d’Amerique Coverage
I would like at this time to point out that Mr. David Janes
said in a letter to HRU in the February 9, 2014 issue about
lack of coverage of the Prix d'Amerique in France here in the
USA and that only "the occasional blurb in Harnesslink" was
reported. Please note Mr. Janes that Harnesslink.com did a
superb job in covering the events taking place and not only
had a reporter live at the track but that Harnesslink.com
posted more than 20 preview, live and post race stories on
the race and events surrounding the race, including links to
the race program and live feed. Unless you have a paid
service you usually cannot view the program or live feed but
Harnesslink.com went "over the top" in providing this service
via linking with a racetrack in Budapest, Hungary who was
simulcasting the race, to provide those feeds! Our reporters
Tom Hicks and David Sanders did a great job in their
coverage!
