 No way Balmoral up 4 sale! They just had a article in Cranes Chicago Business magazine how gd  the owners doing, said he lost money last year, but was gonna break even this year but watch out in the future after that considering how much money the guys put in to the place, he's practically redone almost everything there is to be done.
 I would love nothing more than to see Balmoral  come back as a Harness track but its never gonna happen!
 On another note Hawthorne sucks! No AC,  they Charge  you for Parking, They Charge you admission, no wonder they don't do worth a Damn!

Balmoral Park never allowed to have any gambling there because of the Johnstons. They really fucked up harness racing here and all deserve to die.

I agree things at Hawthorne suck product the way there running things too the only reason they agree for harness was to stick it to the Johnsons for what was done to them long time ago they have gone back on every promise since signed the deal lower purses lower wages lower handle but Balmoral and maywood were steady fields and  full pools if mawood was to reopen I'd be playing there constantly money to be made better then 7horse fields at Hawthorne or1-5every other race

The Galt family owns that piece of land. The Johnston's had a lease to race their meet. The brick and mortar was owned by the Johnston's which went to the casinos for payment. I forget if it was sold or who currently owns the rights to anything on that land. There is nothing in the landscape of additional gaming on the horizon. Rahm Emanuel all but killed any residing gaming bills that are on the table because he wants Chicago to have a bigger cut then what is proposed. It will come up again during the spring session. The new difference may be with a new governor or the current one. I won't hold my breathe. People have been clamoring for a gaming bill or hand out for over a decade. Slots are coming  ngc3

Hawthorne can be sold to existing companies next to it .
Purchase the updated Balmoral property which is now a showcase horse property. Hawthorne can survive on horseracing/sport gambling
