Yes. All you need is to closed down ten years ago and eliminate all other racing in your state. Then, open for one day with no wagering. Brilliant marketing  strategy.

The exhibition event comes 10 years after the raceway closed and just weeks ahead the track's scheduled demolition. Jackson Harness Raceway opened in 1948.

Co-organizer Mike Way expected 2,000 to 3,000 to attend the free farewell event. Instead, he estimates 6,000 to 7,000 showed up and came to life for the dozen two-lap races.

"The roar of that crowd is what I'm going to remember forever. That was so loud, I was taken aback," Way said. "That just reinforces the passion that's out there for harness racing."


 A SHAME THAT SOME THINK THERE HAS TO BE BETTING TO ENJOY A DAY AT THE RACES.   MUST BE ONE OF THOSE LEAST COAST FOOLS WHO ARE TAKING TURNS AT RUINING RACING.   THIS WAS A GREAT MEMORIAL FOR A GREAT PLACE DONE THE RIGHT WAY.

I am sure those 7,000 people at Jackson all had a great time and got to revisit a time when racing was a great experience. It is sad what has happened in Michigan. But, please don't look to the east when assessing blame. It was your own government that decided racing was not worth the effort in Michigan. Your own people destroyed what was once a viable lifestyle and profitable industry.

Raced a few in the Coon at Croswell Michigan I was amazed at the size of the crowd and how enthusiastic they were .....very nice people that day who loved the horses and the sport only with no wagers.

Love when at the jug between races they were filming the 2 old black dudes raking the footsteps to and from the winners circle and Huston says those Coons did a wonderful job on this racetrack referring to the family who rebanked the turns.

We all know it was New Jersey that started ruining racing by trying to steal it from the Midwest, by getting the government to give them purse money to race for ungodly sums, then Delaware with slots, then new York and Pennsylvania. Sure looks like the eat coast elites started this gimme game, and now the New Jersey track owner has his palm out looking to revive the handouts, good money after bad

It is better to remain silent and let people think you are a dopey cocksucker than, open your mouth and remove all doubt.

Nicest thing about the last  fling at J town was there were none of those East Coast Jews there to try and tell everyone how they are supposed to do it.

East coast jew has 36 horses to race he dont have time to attend the funeral.  tmbz1  73cv.2

Good riddance to another harness dump. How much bet between those 6000-7000?
