Maine Racing is a Joke

[seen2much]

Maine has faded but outlasted many other places. Cal-Expo, Michigan, & Chicago racing are over or in worse shape.

Cant even get enough horses to race Thursday at Fryeburg the biggest fair of the year

How do you define "mom and pop stables" exactly?

Because if I were asked to describe stables that could fit that description, I could come up with at least six stables off the top of my head.

Sowers again at fryeburg. Maine racing is so desparate that they cant race unless they let this fat cheater race. Just shut it down.

[chief yogi]

correct maine might have six small stables. 20 years ago every fairground had that many. scarboro barns had many too. most died but no ones replacing them. sowers hall harrington all are runing 2 in about every race. makes a great betting product. no wonder no one cares.

Nonsense. There are poor towns in every state. I live in southern Maine and love it here.
