somehow Shane Bacon was involved

they were dreaming for a new track but that's all it was-a dream

First Tracks should make an effort to put up the signal for the fairs

"they were dreaming for a new track but that's all it was-a dream"


Are they relatives of MLK Jr?

When Joe Ricci died, Scarboro went downhill.  The next generation just sucked what money they could out of it.  Charlie Day closing Lewiston also hurt.  There are just fair tracks now.  Bangor and Cumberland have commercial licenses, but really only fair tracks.  A new track with a full casino would be nice.  They could build it at Oxford, which is owned by Churchill Downs.  It all seems unlikely.

Joe Ricci been dead a long time. When I used to vacation at OOB I was at Scarboro every night as well as Sunday Matinees. Place was packed. Good food. Just the mosquitos were a downer.

Joe would always be in the Grandstand talking with the patrons.

You;re right. really went downhill fast, A shame

  • Sweet: Click on "My Messages", if you send someone a message click the box - "Save a copy in my outbox" and that will remain in your "Sent" folder.  No "Draft" feature but you could just send yourself what yo want to save like a book.
