Greenwood is "mud" to me....Yeah, Brennan( developer of the new GSP) was a jerk, but that was a fine racing facility. It was clean and well run. GSP also offered NJ horsemen a place to race and more or less gave NJ Barns a circuit.
IMO,Garden State should still be operating today, but Greenwood killed it. I believe this was done purposely to make room for their Phila Park ( Now Parx) track..
I really liked the place. Even though it was a 1.5 to 2 hr drive from my former Bergen County home, I made the trip several times during the Thoroughbred and harness meets.
