I visited a couple of the Chicago area ones many years ago. They were great. Sorry to see any of these go, but unfortunately this is IL harness racing.

Never forget it was Johnny Johnston who sank racing 10+ years ago with his corruption. Old man Langley was pure evil too. The people they hired as GMs were total morons.

Can you imagine Balmoral and Maywood with slots, blackjack, sports betting and races? Heaven - ruined by Johnny the midget Johnston and evil Langley.
Never forget, their IRB pals were inept too.
