I hope this comes to be, much thanks to the Carey\'s for trying & keeping racing going in this state. On the Harness side, The Nationals,World Trotting Derby, The Hambo, Super Night were all world class races that always attracted the best, on the TB side, Hawthorne gold cup-won by Kelso, Hawthorne Derby on turf, National Jockey gold cup , were all nice races that are no more and hope they all come back.
The future of ILLINOIS racing is at the Curragh. ;-)
