Anyone else hate leashes?

I think that leashes(aka “harnesses” are extremely demeaning to children. If you want to corral a being, get a dog! If you cannot control your child, PLEASE don’t have anymore. Leashes are a lazy parent’s way of keeping track of their kids.

Nope. I strongly disagree and find you overly harsh and judgmental about something that should be each person’s personal choice.
Parents that don’t care about controlling their kids let them run wild and don’t care about the messes they make at stores and other people’s houses, etc. Those parents don’t care enough to do anything to make sure their child is safe, which is the purpose of those leashes.
I don’t use them myself right now but I used one for about 2 months when my 2 year old was going through a phase where he wanted to do things all by himself. I could have forced him to hold my hand or carried him but he enjoyed the freedom of his “monkey” and I loved to see him be so excited about being able to do things himself.
Even if you are a wonderful, perfect parent your child will still have “moments” where he/she wants to run or play at a time that is inconvenient for you. The best of parents have their children snatched up by pedophiles while they are bagging tomatoes at the grocery store. It only takes one second for bad things to happen. I would rather have judgmental people like you thumbing their noses at me than have something bad happen to my child.
I don’t intend to take my eyes off of my child for one second and I don’t need the harness(which is actually a cute little monkey that hugs his back with a really long tail to hold on to. He LOVES it!) anymore as he is old enough and responsible enough to understand and be reasoned with as a small child can’t, but I consider these things a blessing. They are an added little bit of security(whether needed or not) in a world where terrible things happen that you can’t foresee or control.
There is nothing wrong with that!!!!

Can You Bet On Both Dogs and Horses And Make Money?

Harness racing and dog racing might seem a lot alike, unless you’re a fan of either. For some reason, a lot of dog players shun the harness races and vice versa. I used to think that I’d never bet on anything that had a rider or driver, but I changed my mind one day not long ago.

A friend of mine named Bill took me to a local harness track and showed me how he bets on the harness races. With his guidance, over the course of a couple of programs, I learned how to handicap well enough to make a little profit.

You could have knocked me over with a feather. (Well, a pretty big feather. I’m no lightweight.) I would never in a million years have thought that I’d be betting on animals that are controlled by humans, rather than dogs who are running of their own free will. But I was and I was enjoying it.

I realized after a couple of races that the drivers have good reason to want to win, just as much as the greyhounds want to win. Many of them own and train their own horses and need the purse money to stay afloat financially.

I used to think that the harness races were mostly fixed, and years ago that might have been true in a lot of places. Nowadays though, many of the tracks have big casinos subsidizing the purses and it’s more rewarding to win than it is to cheat.

So, if you’ve been avoiding the harness races because you think that they’re too hard to handicap or because you think they’re as crooked as a dog’s hind leg, you might just want to reconsider and give it a try. Whether you start from scratch with a program, use a tip sheet or a free handicapping system or buy one, the harness races are fun to handicap.

What’s even better, they pay pretty well and are remarkably consistent as far as post position and driver stats go. All the information you need is in the program or reasonably priced data sheets from information brokers like Trackmaster.  Don’t wait thirty years like I did, find out what you’ve been missing and pick some winners at the harness track.
