Fact is they need the Chicago machine located in Crook Co to change and ok Balmoral which resides in Will Co. The way the city is scraping for two nickels to rub together as pension funds are killing the city. After the Mayor gave into the teacher union 3rd time in 7 yrs Crook Co needs every penny. For this to happen it needs politics and that has never been a horsemens friend.

So people this is about the state being broke without funds being poured in this fastest  way for them to get up and running .already agreement  in place to buy balmoral  just needed is changes to terms of deed which is easy since all parties agree. Dates already approveed in dec of 2020 so few months to fix legal documents  and agreement of terms and there back baby

Did you not read the article posted it's on multiple  news channels or sources the Gov in involved himself to get  it done to increase sources  of revenues. What's the problem everyone's  bitching about  new deal and try open, yet if they do open all of you will bet races if you get good odds

Ira is a great guy who did a ton for the horsemen and for the sport over the past 45+ years. open stretch? his idea. he also told me he was responsible for many of the exotic bets that Maywood added in since 1990. all them pick 4s and 5s? his idea he gave to antonides… but Ira never got the credit. 1/2 the ihha regs were his ideas too.

Misdeeds outway  any value of contributions he did in his life except to line his own pockets.burner phones set up races and many times haveing only tickets on pools .maybe back 30 plusyrs ago made a difference and was honorable  but that time is past and gone.

Illinois racing should have shut down years ago!!!! Ive been around for along time and when comments are made to take your horses to Hoosier park!!!!!! I truly see the hurt and destruction harness racing is in now!!! Its a shame illinois has fell this far off considering the jumpstart they once had over the competition!!!!

Another thing the fact that the volunteer state Tenn will run sports betting b4 illinois show how in the shitter this state is remember gambling has been illegal down there forever!!!!!

don't think so. anyway those who've been around Chicago harness racing a long time know Ira's many contributions. He's also totally harmless. You misguided fools who think he's some archcriminal are ridiculous.

I was always a Maywood guy living so close and only went to Balmoral for super nite. I seen the IHHA Tony Samone's comments about this Phil Goldberg...how fuckin rude! he rants about Goldberg not being a racing guy, then not being a gaming guy. well Tony, the last gaming guy is tied to wiretaps, political corruption in McCook and a few state senator's offices, and to a mob controlled bank. you IHHA creeps ran with open arms to this guy who'll be lucky to own 1 slot machine in Cahokia by the time they pull his gold rush bullshit gaming licenses all over the burbs.

once again the IHHA backs the wrong play.

no wonder Ira left those idiots!
