Comments: I live in Monticello n.y. where we also have a fairly small track-Monticello raceway, we opened just about the same time Hinsdale did in 1958. however, the harness track is on the decline- where the attendance yhears ago was often up to 5000 now there are maybe a few hundred, back than horses would run a race at 2.05 where today they race at Monticello as fast as 1.55 I attended Hinsdale harness way back in the 1980's and was very impressed at visiting such a quant track. I am sorry to hear that it closed. I would have loved to return. I read that maybe you will have a new track- I hope so

Comments: I have some of the best memories of my life from the 1970s thru closing of harness racing at Hinsdale raceway in 1985!! My family owned and raced horses there until the end. There will never be another racetrack with a better group of people.....everyone that was there and a part of that era I miss and love you all!! Never be forgotten!!
