It is past time just to FLUSH MAINE, if you cant race at a real track by now the sport really doesn't need you. Maine would be better off NOT seen or heard. It's history is nice to read about, so lets all go to a Library and forget about the joke of harness racing called Maine, the racing in Maine, is indeed a pain.... in the ass
New tracks and casinos. The go to knee jerk reactions to fixing racing. Wrong, maybe a bigger track would help. But there's nothing you can do to change the basics of what racing is. And today it's antiquated and obsolete where the younger generation "that's the fan base you need if you want to survive" wants instant gratification and hands on interaction. Build a new track, you'll have an instant interest for a while, then the novelty will wear off and you're right back where you started. This is 2019, harness racing is in the same category as 8-track tapes, rotary phones and woodside station wagons.
