Trying to find how many tracks are operating either big league or bush league. If you know one list it.

OK, here is an attempt at what should be pretty much a comprehensive list. Subject tracks have pari-mutuel wagering and have and/or plan to run in 2017 in the US, Canada, and Puerto Rico. Tracks which usually run only QH races, but will run an occasional TB race if they can draw enough entries are marked with an *. Not included are tracks like Lincoln (NE), Atokad (NE), and Fairplay Park (NE) which ran 3 or less races for the purpose of meeting law requirements to continue their simulcasting license. Also not included are pari-mutuel jump meets like Fairhill (MD)
