December Maine racing

[Calhoun]

Y'all really should stop complaining.

Or, else,  we'll give you back to Canada.

agree that new track is dead. visit cumberlands winter festival and see the 12 people freezing. thats the fan base right now.  i thought cumberland done right would have a chance. it turned into monti north. feels like a funeral not a festival.

Calhoun - maine was once part of massachusetts and we dont have to go there because they are swarming here( and the new yorkers.)  The part of the state from augusta south is nodifferent from massholechusetts.

agree bass. only thing is even further up north is being invaded.

Be careful what we say about Mass. The Ridge gave us a chance to make some decent money and even wrote real cheap TM races with high purses. And our big owners made serious money down there.

Sad to think about but once Cumberland finishes this attempt at commercial racing...  it only seems likely that Bangor will follow suit and not bother any more.  Which leaves only Fair racing and I can’t imagine who would bother own horses in this State to race that few times a year.  More likely the day that fairs won’t have them would be next... and the end of Maine racing.

when the fairs race, THERE WILL BE HORSES

[chief yogi]

when cumberland and bangor go away there will be no horses for the fairs. as it is most lower level horses are amished and as cumberland is proving now, only enough left for 5 horse fields 8 races a day 4 days a week. if only 9 weeks a year of fair racing maine fairs will look like the few vermont fairs left. 3 horse fields. people will only keep ridge level horses.

The finals for the 2 series races at Cumberland are drawn for Wednesday let hope  for good weather

[chief yogi]

lets hope track stays frozen. its been bad the last few races each day as the frost turns to muck.

[Seamus11]

Call it a year, Boys.  That track is DONE!!  Oh.... and while you’re at it... call the Amish.  Those poor horses are even MORE done !!

[Capt Lou]

Cancelled today

[chief yogi]

dont see how track will be any better tomorrow. cumby dosent have the equipment needed to get the track in good shape at this point. been bad for weeks now. weather hasnt helped at all either.
