So CRC, "Calder Race Course" also will not have simulcasting? People view the 40 race days they have from tents?? Wow.

Wonder what will happen to Bobby Newman? I like his race calls. Maybe he can come and finish Ellis Park's meet...

"The track will now operate only 40 days a year and patrons will view the races from large tents rather than from the existing grandstand"

Amazing!

Sad news. I have great memories from Calder dating back to the early 80's. I loved their Manhattan Clam Chowder and view from the top floor outside seating. I spent some memorably Saturdays with my father and Grandfather there.
