Vince Tamburello at Maywood Park was killed after being thrown from his sulky into the infield .

I didn't even notice all but one driver was on a horse!!! I've never, ever, ever seen a buggy behind a horse, with no driver! Let alone 3!

Stiff job

Where was the punch???

Good. Better the jockey than the horse.

Like I always say , NO ONE EVER QUITS THE HORSES , THEY QUIT YOU AFTER THEY TAKE ALL YOUR SHIT.

Without a doubt!

There are judges in the start car that follow the race start to finish. There are also judges posted thru out the race. The horse may have been throwing in a few extra steps indicating an impending break and the driver may have been trying to hold him together. Second place is better than a disqualify.

No he didn't because he was not the favorite

Was he suspended or lose his license for this….Stevie wonder saw that and said to me what’s up with that….I said very superstitious writings on the wall…

Sears was once banned from meadowlands for lack of effort. Lachance got thrown out of ny. For stiffing races. Came out smelling like a rose at the neadowlands

Total stuff job

4 was 1-9 pays 2.10-2.20 That means he was tons the best here, This looked like it was a maiden race, no one whipping a lot, just teaching their horses to race. 2 likely could have won but why push him hard against a 1-9 shot and get him outta the maiden races. This was not a stiff job, It was more like just teaching a horse to race.

H had the exacta pretty large I would guess, as well as the stewards

Yeah he seems to pull back on the reins , that lyin cheating dirtbag , probably a biden supporter .

This should have been declared a no race.

Which driver?

They are actually looking straight into a horses 🏇 🏇 arse 😬💩💩💩

Sure looks stiffed. They wanted the 1/9 shot to win

I don't know how people can watch horses het hurt and killed like this and still support racing. Sociopaths I guess.

Well don’t you think that driver should be put in jail don’t you think that penalties like this should be extremely stiff it’s pretty disgusting if you think about it stiffing a horse and a horse race where money is being gambled you are legitimately ruining peoples lives

i love this

In the description, you spelled 2013 wrong

Thank you for putting that in the description I love horses and I really don't seeing them getting life threatening injury and neither as well with the jockeys

Just a crooked business not a sport

Anybody that loses a bet puts the blame on the driver not saying that there is not bad people in the game but for the most part they wanna win and earn money and respect from their owners. We can blame others cuz we don't like the result. If you think that you are being cheated why do you return to the track because you are addicted. They used to say the fastest 2 minutes in sports now it's the fastest 1:50 in sports still a helluva experience if you ever drove a horse you would be hooked adrenaline rush for sure

My father had the second best horse at a county fair track in Michigan years ago some of the young guys came to dad and said this is Art's last race in his life we are going to let him win we will let you finish second dad said no I will not be involved in race fixing mind you there was no betting. Well long story short dad finished 5th just getting his entry fee back. I said dad if you had agreed you would have gotten 25 percent of the purse damn stubborn Irish man but I respect his decision all horseman looked up to him

Cirkus

The harness drivers do what the owners instruct them to do. Harness racing is a business. Never forget that.

certainly not trying to win

Some horses don't like the whip. Anyway i don't think anyone fixes a race so a 1-9 shot wins. You have to bet tons of money to win a little

Yonkers had a huge fixed race and Herve Fillion and others got suspended. The driver obviously fixed the race by looking back and not urging his horse.In 1995, Filion and fellow drivers Frederick Grant and David Ingraham were accused of grand larceny and conspiracy for allegedly fixing races at Yonkers Raceway. The charges were dismissed in 2000 when the three drivers acknowledged they failed to file state tax returns in 1996. A fourth driver, Darron Ryder, pleaded guilty in 1996 to a charge of tampering with a sports contest. Bookmaker Daniel Kramer, alleged to be the mastermind, pleaded guilty to gambling-related charges in 1996 and agreed to a $2 million settlement with the New York attorney general’s office.

"I'd go to the dry cleaners, pick up the groceries, pop into Aqueduct to cash tickets on Frankie's fixed horse races" -- inadvertent disclosure from a mob girlfriend in a Cosmopolitan article.

There is nothing here, why would you let a horse 1/9 odd horse win. No money in the race if you win for a bettor. 🙄

God love the horse that never broke his pace. :D

Why the fuck is the driver not pulling up his horse? Seriously what purpose does it serve to continue riding around the track when there are loose horses and drivers injured? I really hope the driver was reprimanded and fined for their stupidity.

At Greenwood and Mohawk it was a given when a horse dropped down in the claimers it would always be a stiff the first time the horse dropped in the claimers. Novice bettors lost the maximum amount of money this way.

I don't know if he was trying to hold his horse together or avoid a close call . Or holding his horse back , it wasn't wacking and cracking urging his horse home . If he was the 1-9 that would have looked worse .

I must have seen or bet on over 50,000 races where the chalk horses got stiffed. Dave Wall and Doug Brown were the two kings of the stiff job. Ron Waples senior always stiffed his own horses every other week but always went with a horse coming in from another track. Waples made me millions, the imbeciles betting at Greenwood and Mohawk in all the years never figured it out.

I was a track kid since the 80s when my uncle owned horses at Roosevelt/Yonkers and have seen more races then I care to remember lol.that was a flat out fix. Herve Filion used to do that exact same move years back… crooked game, always has been

Who the hell would want to sit in that position, right behind a horse's buttocks?

sssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss

Sadly, it happens a LOT in harness racing...which is why I refuse to bet. And I used to work at Saratoga Raceway.

It's the first time I see the narrator is more interested in the accident than in the race and no mentionning 'hold all tickets".

did i miss something?

Easy to see here in the comments section that many here ever drove Standardbreds for a living, I did before retiring. This race was not stiffed. If there was an infraction the driver would have been called into the Presiding Judge and queried. Some horses respond to the whip, others will back up in your face, others high lining, which is a technique some trainers prefer to goad a horse on. You might find 1 in over a thousand races, nowadays, are stiffed. Ask a politician if when voting on a 1000 "Bills" up for a vote if they ever capitulated.

If you can't tell how hard he was pulling on the reigns, you're completely blind.

Ron Marsh???

Mohawk, Yonkers and even Meadowlands are becoming so crooked, always making sure the 1 to 9 chalks win, sometimes throwing in a long shot..all horse racing is crooked but harness racing doesn't even bother to hide it anymore..

I guess a lot of people took on the 1-10 , 1-12 favourite with the second favourite backed it into 9-1 but the jockey couldn’t let it win ....that’s what I gather anyway lol
