9 days left in the meet.

Is it the end? 

They're having $800k+ handles most nights.

Has anything been announced?

 they need Revington back to crooked/backdoor a deal that benefits himself/Wally and a select few others.
We don't need to race, we do it for the love of horses & because we can. Great game if you have the means.

 *The 2 y.o's have shown a ton of talent & 1 just missed a sire stake win

POMPANO WAS ONCE THE SHOWPLACE OF HARNESS RACING WITH THE WHO'S WHO OF RACING!!!   THEY ALWAYS HAD TOP RACES AND HOSTED MANY TOP RACES LIKE BREEDERS CROWN AND MATRON STAKES.   

THIS COULD OF BEEN SAVED IF THE INDUSTRY WORKED TOGETHER.  UNFORTUNATELY, MANY TRACKS WILL FOLLOW THIS DEMISE BECAUSE OF LACK OF LEADERSHIP AND FUNDING TO HORSE A CZAR OF RACING AND PROMOTE THE SPORT VIA LOBBYING.  YES, LOBBYING---MONEY TALKS!!!

LOVED THIS PLACE AND WILL MISS IT AND MY MEMORIES BACK IN THE 60'S.

Save what....just like landlines are done...pay phones..people don't need racing. Casino and so many apps on phones...racing was it in 70s n 80s..time for new things. Florida got rid of the must have live Para mutual event to have casino. Jai,alai,done n racing.

Been going to Pompano for 45 year, going to be missed. Back in its day was one of the best. Guess I'll be going to Gulfstream more.
