It was worth a try by Trackside to attract new punters, but from most peoples comments it probably hasnt? The only wins they have had has been mainly on the greyhounds and they are being finished shortly! Personally do not think they have the right people presenting, except Blake who wasnt originally on the panel to pick winners? They have been treated very well by the TAB by gifting them bonus cash etc. and sllowing them to wager what they want, and yet some other punters are severely restricted to pathetic amounts ! The other hypocritical action is the way they advertise Bet Responsibly! Punting large on dogs, gallops, trots, sports etc sll over the place is not betting responsibly at all! At the end of the day hope the show works and they will do what they will until the funds run out! -
This is just another example of the total mess that the programming is. How on earth could they only just 'identify' the issue? -

Trainer Kevin Bond, whose Facebook page sported an antisemitic comment regarding Rob Reiner, has been charged with conduct detrimental to the best interests of racing and to the New York Racing Association's Business Operations, as well as a breach of his stall application, NYRA revealed Friday. NYRA has issued a notice of hearing and Statement of Charges to Bond. The hearing has been set for Friday, March 6. Bond, who has made 75 starts in his career, but just one in 2026, will be allowed to continue training pending final adjudication of the matter. In December, it was announced that Bond, the son of longtime New York-based trainer H. James Bond and Tina Bond, who is the president of the New York Thoroughbred Horsemen's Association, was being investigated over allegations that he made the antisemitic comments. Specifically, the remarks allegedly attributed to Bond were in response to a Facebook post regarding the alleged murder of Hollywood producer, director, screenwriter, and actor Rob Reiner and his wife. At the time, Bond said that his Facebook page had been hacked and that the comments were not made by him. He released the following statement: “The contents of the post on Facebook that were attributed to me were shocking and unacceptable, and they most certainly did not come from me. The comments were in response to an account I do not follow; it would appear that my account was hacked, or someone created a false account that looks like mine. In any case, I immediately put on my social media story that my account was hacked and have deactivated my account and now will do everything in my power to prevent anything like this from happening again, and to repair the damage done to myself and to everyone who was hurt and offended by the post.” Seeking an updated comment, The TDN contacted Bond via text Friday, but did not receive a reply as of the deadline for this story. NYRA released the Statement of Charges Friday regarding the Bond matter. It included a provision requiring that any trainer who turns in a stall application “provide his or her staff with anti-harassment and anti-discrimination training…” The provision continues: “Trainer will regularly train its staff on anti-harassment and anti-discrimination. NYRA may impose penalties or revoke the License if Trainer or its employees engages in unlawful, discriminatory, or harassing practices.” In addition, it states that “the stall application provides that NYRA may revoke a trainer's license to use its facilities and/or deny him or her access to its facilities, with or without cause at NYRA's sole discretion…” The Statement of Charges then delved into the specifics regarding the allegations that Bond was behind the antisemitic comments. “On or about December 16, 2025, the following comment was posted in response to an unsympathetic Facebook post about the Reiners' murder: “F*ck Rob Reiner that cocky POS Jew” (hereinafter, the “Facebook Comment”). The Facebook Comment was posted from Respondent's Facebook account.” It continued: “On or about December 16, 2025, NYRA's President and Chief Executive Officer, David O'Rourke, issued the following statement to the media: 'NYRA condemns in the strongest possible terms the vile, antisemitic comments posted today on New York-based trainer Kevin Bond's Facebook account. NYRA has zero tolerance for this kind of hateful speech and will begin an investigation into the matter immediately.' On Dec. 19, NYRA Steward Victor Escobar contacted Bond by email and requested further information, and, in particular anything that could shed light on Bond's claims that his account had been hacked. “At your earliest convenience, but in any event prior to the resumption of racing, please provide any documentation or correspondence you have received from Facebook concerning the reported security breach,” Escobar wrote to Bond. “This should include screenshots of your Facebook account login history for the period around the incident.” The email continued: “NYRA's objective is to resolve this matter promptly and efficiently. The sooner we are able to confirm that a security breach occurred, the sooner this issue can be concluded and all parties can move forward.” According to NYRA, Bond told Escobar, via return email, that he would not be complying with his requests. Bond wrote: “I want to reiterate that I did not author or post the statement attributed to my Facebook account. As previously communicated, my account was compromised, and the content in question was published without my knowledge or authorization. At this time, I will not be re-opening or re-activating my Facebook account. Based on professional cybersecurity guidance, re-enabling an account that is believed to have been compromised presents a risk of further unauthorized activity and potential misuse. My decision is intended to prevent any additional incidents or confusion while this matter is under review.” Bond provided NYRA with a letter from Sam Turetsky, whom he referred to as an independent information technology professional, in which Turetsky maintained that it was in Bond's best interests to keep the account in a disabled state. The email chain continued with a Dec. 23, 2025 message from NYRA Executive Vice President and General Counsel, Joi Garner, which stated, “This letter serves as formal notice that NYRA finds you are not cooperating with its investigation. Despite clear and reasonable requests, you have failed and refused to produce basic, readily accessible information that is uniquely within your possession, custody, or control and that would directly corroborate—or refute—your claim that your Facebook account was compromised. This information includes, without limitation, account-security data, login history, and related records for the relevant time-period. This information could tend to exculpate you. However, your continued refusal to produce this information permits the reasonable inference that it does not support your assertion that your Facebook account was compromised, and the content in question was published without [your] Fullstop or comma. knowledge or authorization. “Your conduct is inconsistent with that of an individual who is acting in good faith to demonstrate that they experienced a genuine cybersecurity incident.” Garner then received an email from Bond's attorney, Clark Brewster, who also maintained that Bond's Facebook account had been hacked. NYRA also alleged that the Facebook comment was not the only time that Bond posted antisemitic statements on line. “A review of Respondent's social media activity reveals a history of antisemitic or otherwise hateful commentary across multiple social media platforms, with tone and language similar to the Facebook Comment,” NYRA charged. The Statement of Charges also brought up incidents in which Bond allegedly engaged in “Ontrack Conduct Demonstrating a Threat to the Safety, Integrity, and Orderly conduct of Racing.” NYRA alleged that one such incident occurred on or about July 8, 2024 when a “licensed hot walker reported to NYRA security that Respondent struck him with a closed fist in the face while he was operating a golf cart on the main track horse path.” Three charges have been levied against Bond: Breach of Stall Application; Conduct Detrimental to the Best Interests of Racing; and Conduct Detrimental to NYRA's Business Operations. “As a result, the Statement of Charges reads, “NYRA seeks to exercise its reasonable business judgment to revoke Respondent's credentials and exclude him from the grounds NYRA operates or any portion thereof.” It is signed by Stuart Subotnick, Racing Committee Chairman, The New York Racing Association, Inc.

The 7am rating was a Soft 7. 8am - Heavy 8. 8:40am - Heavy 9. 16 mm of rain in an hour and a half. Still raining. Washout? None of the horses going around today need a bottomless 10 in their prep.
