Which harness track has evolved the least / most ?

[Pete Butler]

As I watch these simulcasts from home it seems Hawthorne is stuck in a bygone era and the Meadowlands is at least trying to keep up with 2020 standards of providing a fresh product.

Your opinions? Who's stagnant? Who's most ready to provide folks with a good racing experience?

[HHTremor]

The New Meadowlands!!

Look at the places, Meadowlands at least has a newer nicer building and venues to eat. Mots RACINOs are NOT bulit for Harness racing they are casinos with a race track, plain and simple. They spend the least possible to promote, never looking to work with areas they are in to promote RACING product. Do you really think there is a casino that actually wants racing. If they shut racing down people will bet on cockroaches aor anything else. At least when tracks were owned by individuals we had a fighting chance, now Harrahs, MGM, Penn gaming etc we are fighting with both arms behind our backs.

I FOR ONE CANT STAND THAT LURCH LOOKALIKE MUELLER GUY THEY HAVE AT HAWTHRONE. 

HOOSIER IS THE BEST IN GIVING THE FANS MORE BANG FOR THEIR BUCK

The least is a lock. That would be Monticello Raceway. The Action Attraction. You couldn't even get back in the building when you went outside to watch the race. That was of course when they were racing. You had to walk about a 1/2 mile around the building because they kept the doors locked. 

[NJ The best]

Freehold never changed post fire . Got a much older clientele though .

A lot of people bitch about Gural but he does at least try to make the product attractive. Clean facilities and for the most part, at least in my experience, he treats horsemen well.

Trying to move forward  = Grand River
Trying to move backwards = Flamboro

  Fair, however some leave feeling like the place is temporary in some capacity.  It could be for the better, but they got work to do.

Does regressing from a racie track to a garbage dump, rat infested manure pile count?  Scarborough Downs wins hands down.  I think Miami Valley is trying to keep up with the times.

[Village Idiot]

The one that has regressed the most is Raceway Park.... It's now a parking lot

[dinkadoo]

watching online or thru TVG, some tracks have upgraded the video/feed and others look like I'm watching races still from the 80's

MV and Dayton are up to speed.  Decent facilites for fans and top notch paddocks.  Sad that these OHIO horsement have to spend 4 mos @ rundown Scioto.

scarborough downs gots to be the best at keeping up their apperiance.
