Title: New Track In Maine?
Post by: dougie on July 09, 2023, 10:15:53 AM: Rumors continue to fly around Maine that First Tracks Cumberland is looking for a site here in southern Maine to open a new harness track. From what's being said, it will be a new but small facility off I95. As you all know, i love harness racing despite me being "hammered" when i owned four cheap claimers at Pompano. Trainers bills and vets killed me and my two partners. LOL! While i'd love to see a new track opening here, I don't see enough interest for the new track to make any real money.

Location is irrelevant as the bulk of Cumby’s handle is generated online. $250k several days ago with stands virtually empty. A new track would generate zero additional income.

12 races yesterday at Cumberland: handled $105,000. Purses totaled $55,000. Unless there is some added money by a mystery donor- No Chance

Harness tracks will never get federal funding.

Too busy giving tax payer’s money away to the deadbeats, cannabis/gay programs.
