Not true. Hawthorne said they will always continue to host a small harness meet.
Ryan Anderson was the youngest driver to ever win a breeders crown race. It's all popcorn penny.

Yes Hawthorne and the Carey’s have publically said  they will host harness racing until the end. They are committed to trying to do what they can to make sure harness in Chicago doesn’t go away forever.

I'll remember being introduced to harness racing in the mid-80s. Going to Maywood on Mondays with guys that worked in a GM plant in Wisconsin who used to go damn near every night before OTBs. Leave after work, and sometimes go right to work after staying in the bars near Sportmans too long. Used to have fun at Maywood. Then that corrupt piece of shit state went to hell. Every one that lives there is either on the take or thinks they are in the mob. Illinois has to be the most worthless state in the union. It's too bad. Used to a great time at Maywood and Sportsman's. Now the tate has less money than I do, but everybody hat lives there acts like Tony Soprano. Especially when they live in Wisconsin all summer.

Both candidates for governor oppose racin of any kind and slots madigan the real governor hates racing and gambling how long will Hawthorne stay. Costly to change track from tbreds to harness. Plus tbreds are what the Carey's all about.

Short meets now aong shot.

Downstate racing more of a reality

Just saying
REAL AMERICANS DONT TAKE A KNEE

 IF RACING IN CHICAGO, THE TRACK WITH THE SECOND MOST HANDLE IN THE UNITED STATES, COMES TO AN END, I HOPE THE MEADOWLANDS WOULD BE THE NEXT TRACK TO CLOSE ITS DOORS.  THAT OWNER IS NO BETTOR THAN THE JOHNSTONS WERE. HIS BEGGING FOR OTHER PEOPLES MONEY IS DISGUSTING.  HARNESS RACING DOESNT NEED HIS MEADOWLANDS IF ALL HE IS GOING TO DO IS COMPLAIN

Hopefully it ends soon! Illinois racing has harvested more douchebags than ANY state. Many horseman just dont understand that the time has come to get a real job. Its fukin sad.
