    Here's a challenge which I'm willing to take. On Thursday, we post all of our Yonker's picks for Friday. It must be done prior to the EMPIRE REPORT on Friday. We will count both most wins and highest amount of winnings for the night. We will also compute how well the REPORT does. Let's see who is up to the challenge and who will refuse to participate.

    netsfan3 Your pea brain fails to remember that you posted your father had won the other most wins title at the Meadowlands, not you. Yes, anybody can find out anything about me with very little effort. Guys like you are afraid to give your real name, so others can find out what kind of a man you are. I've been in the American Legion for 35 years and am always ready to stand up for another veteran. Stop with all your bullshit and accept my challenge for Friday. You can't be a champion in my eyes if you're unwilling to accept a fair challenge. Bye the way, did you hear what Edison Hatter said prior to the 7th race. To paraphrase it was something like I don't know what the Empire Report sees in the VA horse. But apparently the fans will bet anything he posts. Apparently, the Report knew they were going to open enough room for a truck to drop into the rail foe Bartlett before the quarter tonight. If that race was in Europe the stewards would have called in the drivers for failure to close the hole. RREAD1 is what we call a punk in NJ. You seem to be very forgetful of things you post. You posted recently that you inly bet very infrequently, when you do it might be a $20 win wager. Now you posted you won 8 out of 12 races last Friday. So, what are we to believe? I'll tell you what. In the BIG M SUMMER CONTEST coming up in May, I'll make it a point to play tons of chalk. I finished 27th in the money challenge in 2023. As always, if I win the most wins, I'll donate the money to charity.

    Nothing new on the tube tonight. Quite likely a bet on #2 THEE DESPERADO in the 5th at Western Fair in the early evening. He beat some of these same horse's last race.

    Tip of the hat to NYMET1986. He did choose #1 RESPIRATOR 9/2 in the difficult PARX 7th race. The 3 and 4 horses were never a factor. Now it's out to buy some hamburger rolls. Repeats of all 3 Chicago shows tonight.

    NY MET likes #1 RESPIRATOR in Parx 7rh race. NETS will try #3 BRUSHBACK 4/1 in that race. NESS horse has a good workout on 2/4/24 and has run o.k. on a muddy track before. No idea what track condition will be today.

    NYMet1986 TAMPA BAY Race3 #6 General Command popped up on my TVG Stable notifications. To be honest I dont even remember what I saw to put him in there?????

    Howi & METS: I have the Valentines Day past performances for Parx already. Choose any race, tell me who you like. Let's see if we can come up with a winning 3 horse box in a race. We each get to choose 1 horse in the box. I go last.

    SR Vegas lol Nets ...too, funny.
    Oh well , I missed all the Valentines Day racing strategies you guys were considering. That's ok .I Had a lovely day with hubby . Hope you all enjoyed your day

    I completely agreed with a post I read on Twitter by Tiki Barber. The 49r's made a terrible decision to take the ball first in overtime with the new rules. Having the ball 2nd is far more desirable. You then know what you must do to win the game or at least tie it.

    SR Vegas I can't wait for the Super Bowl to return to Las Vegas . !!! FAN tastic !
    next, New Orleans 2025. I've had the pleasure to attend (2) Super Bowls.
    One in New Orleans after Katrina was cleaned up and the city reopened , and one in Atlanta . Great times !!

    Great card at Yonkers on Monday night. But I'll be watching the returning shows tonight. No show betting on the 10th race Invitational with only 5 running. The Platinum Report has COVERED BRIDGE being upset in here. I doubt that will happen. Horse just has been razor sharp for about a year.

    NYMet1986 Nets when you have time go on Youtube and type in Larry Rolla's podcast. Former harness driver/trainer. Guy has a great story about the mob and racing. Think its like 36 episodes so far, but most are around a half hour or so. I think you'll like it. I'm only 5 or so episodes in and I'm intrigued. I like the guy, and the way he tells stories. I think it will be right up your alley. Talks about guys ranging from Herve Fillion to John Gotti. Give it a shot if you have time.

    Not at all happy with the $2.20 place price on HUGH HEFFNER at Flamboro. I figured the 1/2 favorite would pay $2.50 to place. The takeout at FLAMBORO must be 20%. I thought it was 15% on win, place. or show. The 1/2 half had more commercials than I have ever seen in a football game.

    Mt wife was turned down today for donating blood. She was told that while her iron level met the old standard, it did not meet the new iron standard. No wonder there is a blood shortage emergency in the United States. My wife took an iron pill for the last 3 days, This seems impossible.

    Dotheloop Mrs. Fan3 tried...perhaps next time. Credit to the Mrs. Stay well!

    For those who don't really care about the football game tonight. #1 HUGH HEFF 8/5 in the FLAMBORO 4th race should be in the top 2 tonight at 8:04 P.M. Give that track a thumb up for running opposite the football game.

    rread1 For a soft landing flap your arms as fast and hard as you can. Good luck.

    #1 MOUNT ROYAL 5/2 in the SARATOGA HARNESS race 1 is worth a small wager at 5 P.M. Horse has been picking up checks at the BIG M recently. This race seems easier. I'll watch the wagering before deciding how to wager on him. Win, place or in an exacta? Free past performances for Saratoga Harness online.

    netsfan3 Actually, I think it is listed as KINGWOOD, NJ. I know there are a lot of small boroughs and towns in South Jersey. I'll look it up later. The Federal Government raised the standard deduction for 2023 up to $27,700 for a married couple. Add $1500 for each spouse that was over 65 on 12/31/23. SKINHEAD must not know, I finished 27th in the BIG M summer contest. That isn't too shabby when there are over 2000 contestants.

    On paper, #5 OSCAR'S WORLD 7/5 is hard not to bet in the GULFSTREAM 2nd race today if it stays on turf. It's a TVG MBS race. POST IS 12:39.

    netsfan3 OSCAR'S WORLD, another easy winner at 2/5. Almost no risk in this TVG MBS race. I don't have the past performances for Santa Anita 7, so I'll just watch.

    With 16 minutes to post at Yonkers, the 2/6 daily double is paying even money. Not worth it, in my opinion.

    Was lucky to get a last-minute bet into the TVG MBS 5th race at Gulfstream. BEANPOT at even money looked like a low risk bet on paper. Held on gamely at even money. Season finale of TRANSPLANT at 9 P.M. on channel 4. Waiting for the 2nd at Yonkers tonight.

    Dotheloop There appears to be no bridge jumping in the second at Yonkers. Check the pools at the U.S.T.A. website.

    No doubt that #6 MIKALA 3/2 with Brennan in the 2nd at Yonkers is the best mare at the moment in the land. If they allow show betting, the bridge jumpers will be out in force.

    I will be rooting for MIKI THE CLOWN in the 6th race at the MEADOWS at 2:30. She's a daughter of GIGGLES THE CLOWN, who was a favorite of mine. She will be hard pressed to win with the 2 favorites inside her. Her daddy is ALWAYS BE MIKI, another great pacer.

    NYMet1986 Dotheloop I'm trying to forget that Cowboy debacle!!!! Still stings would have had a couple big parlays if the Boys romped. Can still see the stupid look on McCarthys face from that game when I close my eyes. lol

    If you simply must bet tonight, URIEL BLUE CHIP 9/5 in Yonkers 6th should be in your exactas. I'll be watching AMERICAS MOST WANTED.

    rread1 Who would do that. You're a loser.

    Watched all of the Grammys on Sunday night. It was mostly very good. The highlight in my opinion was Tracy Chapman and Luke Combs? duet of FAST CARS. The lowest was Jay Z taking a swipe at Taylor Swift for getting undeserved awards. The hip hop guy breaking chairs to a racket was dreadful.

    rread1 Had to be one with no cover charge and had discount coupons for a lap dance.

    Damn, the way it's going at the Meadowlands I'll be the last stable member in this contest. Anyone else still got 2 lives?

    rread1 You're in a hole, Barker, so quit digging.

    Unbelievable, at one time years ago RREAD1 was listed as a friend in the stable. It must have been before dementia took over his brain. He's now been 81 since Biden took office. His birthday must be February 29th. Still no Fuzzypants. Must be all that rain in California. Wondering if they are running at Cal Expo tonight?

    netsfan3 SR VEGAS: I haven't heard from my San Marino friend either. He has a beautiful house. But there are mountains very close to his back yard.
