ATTENDANCE AT HAWTHORNE TONIGHT OVER/UNDER 55

[STEVE LEITA]

PLACE IS A JOKE. IM GOING TONIGHT FOR A FEW RACES. NOTHING BETTER THAN WATCHING A HORSE RACE AFTER THE WIRE. THEN HAVING THE WINNER STAND IN THE MIDDLE OF THE TRACK AT THE RISK OF GETTING TRAMPLED ON BY OTHER HORSES WARMING UP.

Last time I went to Hawthorne voyager closed from last to win at 9-1 Tony Morgan and I saw a girl get punched in the mouth out front.  Below zero wind chill my girlfriend was crying terrorized.  30 years ago for sure.

Harness racing on its last legs in Illinois.  Where is race track Rosie these days ??

[Grandstand Handicapper]

Just a shame what's happened to IL racing. Somewhat part of the current landscape of the sport and industry, but worse IMO.

[GOAT]

That's a shame, over/under at 55. I remember back in the double header days that place was packed on Saturdays.

I remember that too. Not the top of the sport, major leagues, per se, but always packed, full fields, competitive fields, for the most part.
