LOOK FOR HAWTHORNE TO GO ALL OUT ON TBREDS IF ARLINGTON SELLS
the careys will always take tbreds over harness ,,,
,,THE HANDLE ON TBREDS IS BIGGER THAN THAT OF HARNESS.ONLY THING THAT REALLY MATTERS IN LONG RUN.
SAD TIMES IN ILL HARNESS RACING
,,
BALMORAL CANT BE REOPENED FOR HARNESS ANYTIME SOON
NO NEW TRACK BEING BUILT,,ANY TIME SOON
CAN FAIRMONT AND SPRINGFIELD BE THE HARNESS HORSEMENS ONLY SHOT AT THE FUTURE

Nice knowing you.
-
best kept secret in history!!!!! NOT -LOL. I had the feeling as about 5 years ago they started letting the place fall a part literally.
-
No surprise Rivers Casino is much more profitable than Arlington ever could possibly be.
At least we have one more summer of racing at AP, hope to see you out there JOHN FRNK ARMY! tmbz1

Lots of cry baby’s on Paulick report over this
The only logical poster is the rabbi of racing

Hey dumb dumb, the current generation of players have very little interest in the horses...and why would they?
I was at Rivers Casino this past Saturday night and the Sportsbook was packed with the Under 30 crowd betting on basketball, hockey and the UFC fights. CDI is very smart, they know sports betting IS the future and not the geriatric horseplayer filth that post on here (JFA excluded of course tmbz1). 11.wp

If racing was smart it would follow suit, and create a new betting menu like 1 vs 5 or so in a race. Get rid of the place and show wager it’s old. Also have over/under win for jockeys and drivers on a card. That’s what the new betting generation wants over unders.
-
What the bettors want and what they get especially with Draft Kings and others is not just the multiple bets before a game but also all the in game wagering throughout the game. Look what happened at the beginning of the pandemic over 5mln accounts were open at trading platforms to trade equities and options. Ten months later have added over 10mln accounts. Nearly free or free trading in and out. Robinhood you can buy fractional shares of stocks. Point is HARNESS racing offers zero to bettors. It has always been niche and can't compete against it's big brother, thoroughbreds. While there is still a thoroughbred handle harness racing without all the aid and racino setup would have folded long ago minus fair and some GC events. Harness will survive only with that and the very small handles they get. Those handles at most tracks when adding in their % back to the purse account is so small. No foresight, decades back to come up with a ADW platform like Youbet. Then others jumped in and horse racing was left scratching their head on with the new gorilla in the room. There is nothing to offer anyone wagering on horse racing. They have added many sucker bets while diluting some of these with stupid 10 cent wagers. Brick and mortar tracks and OTB are things of the past when everything is hand held. Dream if one wants but it lags in every possible way to all other type of gaming or even trading.
-
In-game is great even for NBA. Racing can't compete with that.
-
racing flats or harness would be done without casino money supporting purses. both breeds let the otb and now adw have all the profits while the tracks putting on the show get 3-4 pennies on the dollar. its a business model that wont work. the live gate is next to none and the betting is all done off site.
sports betting has a low house take but will do ok because there is almost zero in costs. people love sports, and with so many to chose from and bet on the sports books will be packed untill that too goes on line completely.
in the future very few tracks will be left in large part because of location. when they were all being built they were in populated areas to get the live crowd. now the land is worth far more than what will ever be made on racing.
the sad thing here with arlington is churchill is the company doing it. what was a premiere track will be gone only because of greed by another racetrack that has decided to screw their own industry.
-
Round 2 GME, AMC, KOSS all last hour of trading and up big in the overnight session. With vol the way it is in the stock market why would anyone want to bet harness racing? Chasing that 3.00 win payout or hoping to get that 1 longshot when favorites at some of these tracks win at 40%. Harness racing has no value going forward and has been that way for over a decade. Its dead get the clue?

A few weeks ago Duchossois sold 1,000,000 shares to Churchill and I don't see it mentioned anywhere around here.

Lookie here. SRP knows all about ARLINGTON PARK. Yet he shows tickets from SAM HOUSTEN,EVANGELINE,and Lone STAR.
Great that some A-HOLE who never at ARLINGTON in years now expertin it.
HERE the ARLINGTON SHIT:
(1) They gonna allow 4,000 losers in every racin day. They droppin their price from $75.00 per person admission to $50.00. They gonna have all floors open for spacin. KARDASHIAN FUC knows LOSERS will want to attend cheap racin at $50.00 a pop as IDIOTS that want to in future say: I was there that last year.
(2) REFRESHMENTS. LEVY Brothers has ended. Thank GOD. ARLINTON,KARDASHIAN,runnin the refreshment show. Silver foil dogs at $5.00 a shot. Small package of chips at $4.00 a shot. NO bring in your own CHOW allowed.
(3) If anyone interested, JOHN FRANK ARMY has suggestion. Go and sit outside of MR.D"S in the apron. The second floor above it will soon collapse. If you a risk taker and think you can survive,you will have a nice lawsuit. If not. Happy to have known you.
(4) JOHN FRANK ARMY will not be attendin. He will attend funerals of those that are killed by colllapsin roff.

If they price gauge I will pass also. SRP, what does Mr. D selling a portion of his CHDN stock matter? The Churchill stock is not being effected in any way shape or form from the Arlington sale. Its a few peanuts on their balance sheet.

SRP - stick to what you know faggot...which is very little and certainly nothing about AP! 11.wp 11.wp 11.wp

RLD made a killing selling AP. I believe all the shares he received were to be sold back to CHDN. I think it was 3.5mln shares 30% of the company back in 2000. Valued at 28m at yhe RLD has sold shares back through the years at lofty levels and kudos for him at the young age of 99 still having shares left. In the end Churchill buys back the shares through time incorporating a huge profit and sits with over 325 prime acres worth way more today then 21 years ago. The only thing that changed the horsemen are racing for LESS purses and the racing associations still getting fucked by ownership and racing boards.

Eyes nose who you is. We know you ain't LUCKY'S friend who's mom was BEER BELLY BOB'S girlfriend.
So it be one other.
We were friends for a long time. Like a many at track and I never had kids. Which is why so many can live there everyday,you included. But durin week you had to leave to pic up your wife at train at ARLINGTON stop. She worked while you retired early and makin her work cause you had a long way to go to MEDICARE. Health INS. a bitch and being carried by wife works out well. And I liked your wife and we got along well. But you were bashin me on BARN and I called you on it that last day. You then attacked me about bashin JEWS because your wife is JEWISH and you ain't. You told me earlier that your wife worked for some college recruitin and traveled a lot and she was gonna be re-located south west and yousse be movin. Never saw you again after that last day. YOU knew everythin bout JOHN FRANK ARMY. Besides our personal discussions,you read everythin I post. And your petty digging remarks both postin and in person were not welcome. And you moved and been attackin me ever since. Ain't that right BOZO (that a inside joke between us}.

I'll announce the upcoming prices and attendance at ARLINGTON PARK before they do MONDAY.
I was a little off. Not 4,000 each day but 3500.
Only can attend in groups of 4. Unless you want to buy a 4 bagger for yourself.
ADMISSION price. This still up for debate. $20.00 to $50.00 per 4 bagger person each day.
But you must additionally as a 4 bagger purchase either a park bench for $40.00 or a table for $100.00.
MR.D'S to be closed although that outside collapsing roof section will be open for seating and mortuary pic-up.
There will be no draft beer. All beer will be 16oz cans and cost $8.00. Toilets,rest rooms will be limited. Use the train station or RED ROOSTER.
CO-VID patients allowed. No temp check.
Fun filled day guarrented,with 8 races with anywhere from 4 to 6 horses per race.
JOHN FRANK ARMY will not be attendin. He gonna spend his time MAGNET FISHIN. Got some good spots along FOX. Member years ago he RIVER RATTED. Found some nice treasures. He no longer will wade. Tossin magnet these days works better.
-
Its got nothing to do with that!!!! New gen doesnt want yo wait 30 minutes to play a race wait an do it over again they want instant gratification!!!!! Plus racing has turned into a joke lately no money to be made as a gambler!!!!! Especially in the midwest when u put 500 on a horse an they go 1/5!!!!!! Never seen snything like it especially at hoosier zero pool size!!!!!

JOHN FRANK ARMY speaks about upcoming ARLINGTON SHIT meet. He know all.
(1) Nice of KARDASHIAN to just say nuttin on 15th of MARCH. Just him sayin groups of 4,unless you MILLION room,then you can have 6.
(2) Like his constant mention. ARLINGTON runs RAIN or SHINE. NO REFUNDS when you order.
(3) Refused to announce prices until APRIL 15th.
(4) BUT look at cheap prices that I know will be $40.00 for benches on apron and $100.00 for table on apron. Again stated:Regardless of weather that be the only place you can be. You will only be allowed to leave your seat to use RED ROOSTER lavoratory,purchase a dog,or a beverage or make a bet at machine. You then must return to your privileged seat. RULES it said will be STRICKLEY ENFORCED. Maybe I'll go to STICKNEY. I might add in this SHITHOLE situation. KARDASHIAN says DISTANCING will be enforced. JOHN FRANK ARMY been at that SHITHOLE track for 38 years. He been there for RAIN,LIGHTIN,and TORNADO'S. KARDASHIAN tellin people that purchase these that they fucked and must EDURE all outside conditions. Those metal tables and chairs. Good conductors for ELECTRIC.
(5) Which brings us to the protected underneath areas. The FUC KARDASHIAN got plans for that to. You gets seats protected from elements. You get some other screens to watch other tracks. You have bettin machines. YOU GONNA PAY A LOT MORE. If you sittin outside he encouraging everyone to just bet on your phone TWIN.
(6) There's no walkin around. You relegated to your seatin area. You don't like it and complain....ADIOS BRO,YOU ASKED TO LEAVE,either VOLUNTARY or SECURITY escort and chance of bein ARRESTED.
(7) As far as HISTORY goes. Between ARLINGTON races on the big screen they will show HISTORY. There no walkin around to view.
(8) When JOHN FRANK ARMY speaks of HISTORY,they should have a non-stop MONTAGE of those that attended the SHITHOLE,not horses and big shots. WE supported the SHITHOLE over the years. We got the STORY'S.
(9) I'll end with this. Someone told me KARDASHIAN reads this SHITHOLE. I doubt it. He's to STUPID a FUC.
(10) I'll end with this II roman numeral. KARDASHIAN: FUC YOU,YOU FUCKIN PIECE OF SHIT. IT'S,JOHN FRANK ARMY sayin what a PIECE OF SHIT you are.
-
JOHN FRANK ARMY forgot to mention the PREMIUM days. DERBY,MOTHER,ETC.
CHARGIN even more. THANKS,KARDASHIAN,YOU MOTHER FUCKIN JEW PIECE OF SHIT.
-
I am out!!! See ya at the Hoffman otb.
-
GLEN. I'll tell you one last thin. Hoffman OT would be place to go. But it will be swamped.
ARLINGTON is makin sure they squezze every buck out of this last year. When ARLINGTON runnin,TRACKSIDE ARLINGTON will be closed. They know officially closed on MONDAY and TUESDAY. When ARLONGTON runs on FRI,SAT,SUN, trackside will only be open on WED and THUR. Some days they will run on WED,then only open on THURS and SUN. KARDASHIAN wants people to go to track and PAY. He don't like idea of people goin up and watchin races from second floor balcony. You want to watch last year races at ARLINGTON,PAY UP. It sickens me if A-holes actually buy into this SHIT. But for some reason: A-holes think it cool to pay exhorbent prices. They would never attend a $2.00 a entrance, because they think that below them. But charge each person $100.00 a shot and they will attend.
-
You can not even go to the paddock, they can forget about me going.
