Green Mountain was about as pretty a place to watch the races outside of Saratoga that existed. The Dogs there..um, not so much. They were just a little on the slow side.
Plainfield, whichw as mentioned earlier in the thread, tried to hold on against the onslaught of Foxwoods and Mohecan Sun just down the road. It is just an empty shell now.
The only reason that owners have held onto the greyhound tracks up this way is the hope of caino gambling coming to their state and thembeng able to have VLT's on site. Hinsdale, the Lodge at Belmont (formerly Lakes Region) and Seabrook have all gone to having almost eliminating live racing, simulcasting about 90 hours a week, poker rooms, and low stakes roulette, or black jack ($4 max) waiting for approval of a more expansive bill that may never come.
