Title: Illinois race dates out.
Post by: horses first on September 21, 2023, 10:08:35 PM

3 less harness dates for 2024. 46. Jan 1st to Feb 12 2 nights of racing Sun and Mon. NO HARNESS racing at Hawthorne until Oct 19 to Dec 30. 3 nights Sat,
Sun, and Mon. Not sure about Springfield racing how that situation plays for 2024. Like 2023 was any success. Eliminations rained out and finals rained out. Not to mention a few cards prior to the state fair racing. On face value doesn't seem the best scenario for the limit stake racing program.

Night of Champions in the snow next year?

Springfield and DuQuion received 28 dates and spread from June to Oct I guess.
