Title: ILL RACING BOARD CONSIDERING MAKING HAWTHORN HARNESS YEAR ROUND IN 2024
Post by: LAW AND ORDER on January 03, 2023, 12:25:51 PM

JUST TALKED TO SAM AND HE WAS AT THE LAST IRB MEETING. THERE IS SOME BEHIND THE SCENES TALK ABOUT THE IRB FORCING HAWTHORNE TO RACE YEAR ROUND HARNESS LIKE NORTHFIELD AND YONKERS DOES AND SENDING ALL TBREDS TO RACE AT FAIRMOUNT PARK RACINO. ITS NOT A FOR SURE THING BUT THEY ARE DEFINTELY CONSIDERING IT. IM NOT SO SURE ITS A GOOD IDEA. I THINK IT MIGHT BE BETTER TO JUST BUILD A NEW HARNESS TRACK OUTSIDE THE CITY OR MAYBE REOPEN BALMORAL.  ITS DEFINTELY CLEAR THAT THE CHICAGO FANS AND POLITICANS WANT A HARNESS TRACK AND THEY WANT IT NOW!!!!!!!!

Hawthorne tbreds are horrible. 5-6 horse fields and all mediocre trainers long gone
