NEW JERSEY RACING: Major date cuts, Swamp closure?

Ever since Garden State became a shopping mall & Atlantic City runs a 10 day meet, the state has been cut off, for live racing. Lets see go over the bridge to the pha, or Delware park & gee.. guess what...both tracks have slots. Sure the casinos have race books, but to see live racing you either have to travel out of state (which is closer ) , or travel up to middle / north jersey. Its a damm shame what has happen to Atlantic City Race Course, a wonderful place to spend a summers nite.

Nothing like Jersey cops. Look at this guy and try not to laugh.

I still miss Garden State. That was a great track.

I agree 100%. Grew up in South Jersey and used to go to both Garden State and Atlantic City Race Course. Now all the racing (two tracks for the fraction of the year as you well know) is in North Jersey.

I miss Garden State. I thought it was a nice facility. But you know, South Jersey can never have enough shopping malls
