I used to go to the harness tracks 5x a week and bet pretty good

No Roosevelt, Freehold, Liberty Bell, but

kentucky Racing?


Gimme a break....

Have u seen these drivers at these kentucky Tracks???

No wonder no one goes to the harness tracks anymore

If there are no stakes races, these drivers compare to quite a few drivers at the c/d racetracks in North America today!

New England lost Rockihgham, Foxboro, Suffolk Downs, Green Mountain, Lewiston, Scarborough Downs, Hinsdale, and a few more i'm sure I left out.

[Lockedin with Pace]

Brandywine, Liberty Bell, and Garden State was my circuit, had very good racing at one time, all long gone.

i been to foxboro and green mountain. drove right by hinsdale but was in a hurry to get home

  Hinsdale was fun until the brothers that owned it wouldn't or couldn't pay the simulcast settlement sheets.

plus Lincoln Downs,primarily a tbred track, also it had a brief harness meet, and later the dogs. Plus Narragansett, strictly for the tbreds. A host of dog tracks, too, like Seabrook, Belmont ( a dog track in NH), Wonderland, Raynham, Plainfield. Been to all mentioned by Dougie and by me, except Wonderland and Belmont.. Total prob nearing 120 across US and Canada, probably half are long gone.

Kind of sad isn't it. The only ones I was never at  Belmont and Lincoln Downs. Today, the old Seabrook dog track is now the "Brook Casino". One of the places I play poker at.

I'm not sure there were ever 12 pari mutual tracks in Michigan? Are you talking TBred and harness? By the way there are several fair harness tracks still going today.

I used to love going to Foxboro. John Hogan was "the man" there! LOL! My brother lives in Brockton, MA so it was a pretty quick ride there.

Better drivers in Maine right now compared to Kentucky (non stakes race drivers).

Never saw Foxboro as a hmt, only when made it a 5/8 but kept the tight hmt turns. Quite a long stretch. Shame how they let the grandstand run down in its final stages, much like Roosevelt Raceway.
