New Track In Maine?

[dougie]

Rumors continue to fly around Maine that First Tracks Cumberland is looking for a site here in southern Maine to open a new harness track. From what's being said, it will be a new but small facility off I95. As you all know, i love harness racing despite me being "hammered" when i owned four cheap claimers at Pompano. Trainers bills and vets killed me and my two partners. LOL! While i'd love to see a new track opening here, I don't see enough interest for the new track to make any real money.

Sadly, nothing new here.  Pigs will fly before Maine has a new harness track. Location is irrelevant as the bulk of Cumby’s handle is generated online.  $250k several days ago with stands virtually empty.  A new track would generate zero additional income.

whatever happened to the track in Saco?? wasn't that all but done

12 races yesterday at Cumberland:  handled $105,000. Purses totaled $55,000. Unless there is some added money by a mystery donor- No Chance

The state of Maine is full of nothing but fucking liberals.

Harness tracks will never get federal funding.

Too busy giving tax payer’s money away to the deadbeats,  cannabis/gay programs.

I would just like a tote board.Will never see a new track if it does not get sports betting.

Cumberland will be my home track starting in September… it’s about 2 hours from where I am now and plainridge is closer but when I start college it’ll be about an hour 10… go UNH wildcats!
