Post by: goblue on January 05, 2025, 04:45:23 PM

No talk of the Illinois bill that would open a new track in Decatur?

I doubt it even gets brought up in the lame duck session. I would rather see a Chicago area track. But I am guessing horsemen would like any track that had a decent number of racing days.

What ever happened to the Richton Park syndicate? And what about the huge empty track by the Ohara airport??

Another Illinois track.   Why?

Tune in to Hawthorne and watch a race. A couple of leavers that are not pressed. All drivers keep their position until the stretch. Worst racing imaginable.

Talk about a track that should go away, you have it.
