Default IRB Approves Racing Consolidation Plan - adios Maywood and Balmoral

http://www.bloodhorse.com/horse-raci...olidation-plan

Quote:
The Illinois Racing Board Sept. 29 voted to consolidate all 2016 Chicago-area racing at Arlington International Racecourse and Hawthorne Race Course, averting potential draconian cuts at both those tracks.

The decision shuts out Balmoral Park and Maywood Park, the harness tracks being operated under bankruptcy protection by the Johnston family, reallocating all harness dates to Hawthorne.
the baron of balmoral is not going to be happy about this.....
