Rideau Carleton as been financing the Quebec industry ever since Quebec closed down all their racetracks some 20 years ago.

     75% of the horses participating there have Quebec addresses. 
Not a great loss.

Three Rivers is in Quebec I thought

Sure stake races but what % of races are they?  Talk talk talk but if don't have casino support
you're screwed. It's coming. Gonna swallow these puny tracks up. More red flags than THRIVING. 11.wp

Nobody wants the liability of a Race Track, even with a casino. It's starting to look like more are falling quicker. Look at the Big M tonight, do you see any really good races?

seriously

15 years ago I would have shed a tear, lit a candle, done something to acknowledge my sadness for the passing of a track.  Today, however, I take joy with every closing.  Harness racing is a pathetic shell of what I knew, and full of people I wouldn't even let empty my trash.  Close them all down and give the money to anything else.  ANYTHING!
