Here are the tracks I miss and why. I have probably been to 25 other tracks, but do not miss them.
Old Arlington---The first track I ever bet at.
Maywood---First Harness track I played.
Sportsmans---Was my favorite as I had more success here than anywhere else. Both Harness and Thoroughbred
Aurora Downs---I remember being there one New Years eve when the temp. was 15 below zero.
Washington Park---The home of my biggest DD hit.
Quad City Downs---Easiest track to win at. When they first opened no one there knew anything about handicapping.
You could get $6 pays on legitimate 1/2 bets.
Hialeah---Beautiful track Loved the Flamingos
Aksarben---A unique experience with the indoor auditorium. Nothing like it at the time.
Thunderbird Downs---Went there as I wondered why would you open a racetrack in Vegas.
