It's about time, this place has been running on fumes for the last 5 years.  Shut it down!

Relax just looking to cut the 3rd race date for t-Breds each week because of shortage of horses. Hawthorn been closing down for 10 years now according to some people. But they still seem to open every year. Still the best track in Chicago!

Still the best track in Chicago?  How about the  only track in Chicago!  Close this dump down ASAP.

How exactly did they do that? Took on harness dates when there was no track to race at, sure they got paid to do it but they didn’t really have to do it. Can’t point fingers at the last man standing many before them ruined it.

you right the 8-9-10 are the best especially going into that first turn nothing like losing 5-6 lengths.

you must be very old

update your thinking and watch the races

I didn't say the 9 or 10 were good

post 1 and 8 are  basically equivalent at Hawthorne

5-6-7 are the best for two turn tracks

HAWTHORNE RACE COURSE IS ON LIFE SUPPORT
HOPEFULLY ITS GOING TO STAY OPEN .

I've never been to Hawthorne, but I read a interesting book called "Horseplayers, Life At The track" by Ted McClelland. It's a "must read" for any old horseplayers like me. Hawthorne is a big part of the book. The characters he talks about are the same we have all met at racetracks and OTB's around the nation. He talks a lot about Hawthorne and give an honest and frank assessment on racing at Hawthorne years ago. A great read.
