Big M’s 50th anniversary, 9/1/2026

Old days,
Good times I remember,
Fun days,
Filled with simple handicapping,
Carvel, the food concessionaire Harry M Stevens; hot dogs, beer popcorn and pretzels.
Post time at eight, ten races nightly except on Sundays.

On to Cincinnati…, in harness racing terms on to The Red Mile, many of us prefer the bigger tracks, but last night was good. Can’t wait until next year in Lexington….

[Steve Meizinger @SMeizinger]

@mikehjet @GregReinhart Me too, small tracks aren't appealing for bigger fields and more permutations and increased excitement for the fans/bettors.

[Steve Meizinger @SMeizinger]

@JDHarness How can people think that is ok, makes no sense…

@Pullthepocket Betting seems to an afterthought nowadays… I dumbfounded by it… states/casinos subsidize this type of behavior…

[Steve Meizinger @SMeizinger]

@FollowTheFigs Good luck Dave, im playing tomorrow night, looking forward to you posting your selections tomorrow…

@mikehjet @TheMeadowlands @DaveLittleBigM Thanks Mike

[Steve Meizinger @SMeizinger]

Is The Meadowlands doing anything special for Breeders Crown? I’m in the area, wondering if they are promoting the event at all in their venue, curious if they will have special viewing for Scioto Downs Breeders Crown races? @TheMeadowlands @DaveLittleBigM

[Steve Meizinger @SMeizinger]

@TheMeadowlands @DaveLittleBigM Will there be any specific place in the track to watch Scioto Downs?

[Jessica Schroeder @HrnssRcngJess]

It’s all coming together. Just 2 hours till the doors open!

@KevG163 Nice field, the grass never looked that good for Mets games…😂

@gabe_prewitt @atTheTrack7 Thanks Gabe, you a great ambassador for the sport..

[Steve Meizinger @SMeizinger]

@DaveLittleBigM Thanks Dave, still debating if I come to thetrack, my fav track, or watch from afar, game time decision….

After 6 weeks, current Over/Under wins versus expectations.

[Steve Meizinger @SMeizinger]

@atTheTrack7 @HarnessEyeGuy Darin, I respect your insight. I’ve been a fan since i was 17 at Freehold, but once you see 10 horses or more and they all have a reasonable betting chance to win, why would go to smaller oval. My feeling is increased permutations is better for tracks/bettors maybe owners too.

Breeders Crown Two Nights Elimination Handle:

2026 at Scioto Downs: $1.58 Million
2025 at Woodbine-Mohawk: $3.67 Million (USD)
2024 at The Meadowlands: $4.38 Million
2023 at Hoosier: $2.4 Million

The big event does not take the handle with it to the host-track in harness racing. The host track is the larger impact on the handle of the big event than the big event has on the host track.

[Steve Meizinger @SMeizinger]

@atTheTrack7 Seems to a trend there too in those numbers Mohawk or M1.

[Steve Meizinger @SMeizinger]

@atTheTrack7 @HarnessEyeGuy Darin- u seem to me to be the only person that is willing to constructively analyze. Just my opinion, also i do have a bias, i dont think Breeders Crown should be held at 5/8 tracks, 7/8 or mile, allows for ten or more entries, better for fans, better for handle.
