Title: Bangor vs Cumberland
Post by: Racetime on April 30, 2026, 06:24:53 AM

Bangor is much more horsemen and fan friendly  with a great betting area and food in the Grandstand and the Paddock is so nice.  Cumberland offers nothing!!

I agree! Cumby is much closer to me but Bangor is a much better place to enjoy the races.

They both offer opportunities to race when there are fewer places each year.

Bangor has heat a/c and real bathrooms. Been to both this year and the racing was good. And that  is what counts most.

Bangor much nicer, clean, usable restrooms, edible food, heat.  The pools are small, but racing is good with good drivers/trainers.  The horseman can do okay.  As long as there is casino money for purses and sire steaks, this level of racing is decent for all.

Cumberland is doing very little to benefit live audience.
