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.

[Mottoman65]

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!

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  ).

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.
