Funny you say that and appreciate your words. Funny because my wife and I are planning a 5 track ten day road trip to tracks across the country I have missed. But hearing the reviews, will skip Chester   LOL   Thanks again buddy

Always interested in any suggestions 73cv.2

What ever happened with the unfortunate guy that suffered the severe injury caused by the surface not to long after Chester first opened?

Colletta got a decent settlement because the top brass there acted like they knew nothing about the issues with track. Fortunately someone documented all the complaints. It won’t take care of him with his new needs forever but at least Caesar’s had to pay something unfortunately that dirt bag DOR that wouldn’t authorize the the money to get track resurfaced still has a job

Chester sucks, it’s hard racing for small purses, I believe it will be closed within 2 years if the higher up don’t get up their asses and make changes
ire place

they are under contract to conduct racing which has purses funded by the casino-handle means nothing

not sure when the contracts ends

a couple of miles down the road is the city of Chester-bad neighborhood

the track and casino are safe-a million cameras oversee the entire facility-just dont drive past the track

If you hit big at track or casino get a cashiers check before you leave several have been mugged in the parking garage

Always have a couple of buddies on speed dial in case you win big! Never leave alone,even if you have to blend in with another group!

Same thing at the MGM Springfield in Mass. No track there, as you know. But the parking garage is spooky at night. Certainly no neighborhood to be walking around in after 7 pm. Cops already shot and killed some asshole soon after it opened, trying to pull some shit literally right in front of the joint.

its a depressing track to watch a race---- especially when people in the Delaware Valley grew up  watching races at Brandywine  ( 3 miles away)   It was a place to relax   bring the family and enjoy yourself   Chester is dull.

Tioga Downs must be on any bucket list. It is a very nice harness track. Out in the country, no crime. Often beautiful rainbows. Count Fair atmosphere.

Sounds good although MR is on your route from Tioga to Plainridge possibly. You don’t need to go down memory lane ther but if you do make sure you bring your lunch and a few sanitary wipes.
