..TIMMY big shot track owner

The IRB has ties with Carey….its like they created their own mob

Everyone should be fired on the IRB. And they should be called out on here

What is there for the IRB to do?

Hawthorne is done. Will never open again.

Fairmount is doing good. They get 3000 on Friday late posts in the summer. Let FanDuel run it and leave them be.

FanDuel no longer owns Fairmount Park Racetrack; they sold it to Accel Entertainment, a video gaming operator, in late 2024, with the acquisition closing in December 2024. FanDuel previously partnered with the track (then called Fairmount Park) in 2020, renaming it FanDuel Sportsbook & Horse Racing and adding a sportsbook, but Accel now owns the facility and plans major casino development there, with the track name reverting to Fairmount Park.

they went back to using a flag drop to start the races for the "harses"

You just said the IRB gave a license to Hawthorne…so they are in fault here and you know it….

[Kirby's Ace]

That's alot of money to be bouncing checks. I believe thats a felony  charge at that amount.

Someone could be going to see Bubba at downtown Hilton lockup!

IRB has 11 Board Members.  Total staff about 18-20. What do they do all do?

What’s as mind boggling as anything pertaining to this is that the Illinois horseman continue to enter to race. Can someone explain why anyone would even consider entering to race at a track that has bounced checks, not once, but twice.  And please don’t say they need to race to make a living they are not getting paid.  And how is this douschebag track not brought up on charges of fraud or deceptive practices?

Get glasses!!!!
Where the fuck do you see 3000 purses??
And if you don’t like Illinois racing do race here!!!!
Some people just like racing in their home state.
You keep going on about Illinois and Indiana all the fucking time about this and that.

[LUCPARK]

Five or six.  4000 dollar races this weekend   
If they even race    Mostly likely No racing again.

Why wood a track hold  races and not  pay trainers owners drivers  for their efforts. Then bounce cks twice. 



I said 4000 or 3000. Races.  Yea u got me 🙄🙄🙄


I will  comment on. Carey forever. Or until track is closed or sold  hopefully sold 

 I have a lot of friends in Illinois racing   Good people

All I ever mention is carey and now adding irb.  For continuing to go along with  Tim carey  and his lying

So you want a track to close? Why would anyone want a track to close? They don’t open back up 99.99% of the time. Listen the shit sucks but your hate for the guy shouldn’t be the reason to wish the track to close. I understand that he had them throw you out the back door in the rain onto the puddle, but hey maybe time to let it go? You almost got back in that one time but you got him the wrong flowers told you he don’t like daisy’s! The box of chocolates looked good though.

[Grandstand Handicapper]

So, what's the deal with the so called "recapture" funds? Is that still on the table? If so, does the track get to keep it period, or do they have to meet certain conditions?
