they handled sub 300k on their saturday card....i gotta believe that's a record low for a chicago area harness card since i started following racing in the late 70's...yep hawthorne is gettin ready to invest in that new racino somewhere in the southern 'burbs with the business booming like that!!!

its god aweful race cards..
same old horses every week,
what did they expect
those days of "PUT SHIT OUT THE PUBLIC WILL BUY IT"
are over..
crappy horses,,crappy track,,crappy facilities,,crappy announcer
crappy race sec,,crappy conditon sheets, crappy barn area ,,
WHAT DID THEY EXPECT ,,MILLION DOLLAR HANDLES

THE PUBLIC ,,minus THE DEGENERATES have given up on
racing ,,gambling and watching harness at hawthorne
