Ive been told they also have no heat or food?? Sounds like a nice place. Great job to the bushings and hall for pushing out Scarborough.  I've heard the association is useless

As someone who lives in Maine, I feel bad about the "state" of harness racing here. Not much left to cheer about. And while we have heard of "anonymous" investors wanting to build a small new harness track in southern Maine. I don't think it will ever happen.

I have zero to do with Maine racing but have been told by very reliable sources THERE WILL BE NO NEW TRACK
