If they do what will change Hawthorne is limited dates a less each year now for harness .promised lots but full of crap maywood was two or three nights a week year round and Balmoral was 4 nights a week for ever before scheduling was changed and reduced before track closed a went  to banckrucy court  Hawthorne is Fri sat sun for 3months it was nice to play  for a while but now gets worse every year

If the tracks get slots and sports betting Maywood will run from October to May 1. Windy City purse will be $500k.

Ron Burke is already looking for a farm. You will race for 3rd, 4th and 5th money.

Hasbeen....who are your sources Maywood would open? You are aware in the bankruptcy deal that the named casinos against the tracks have in place NO par-mutual wagering cannot take place for 10 years. So stop with the non-sense
 Plus dates are set in stone for the 2019 racing season. They never add but like last year could take days away which they did with lack of horse population.

Maywood never got the 10 year clause, it was balmoral.
2019 dates will never change. Only hope is another track and more dates in 20 with a slot bill, which is almost a given to happen.
