My father won the first race at pompano park ...B W S

🤮

So sad

Disgraceful what the left has done to racing and to our country in general.

"Load your weiners". Classic hilarity. Also pretty useful if you're about to pump your woman.

Whitey Ford was a party waiting to happen. 😎

OMG I love this!!!! ❤❤❤❤

🤣

Wiener its sausage you kraut 😮

a leech on the leech industry of casinos

My mom worked there in the 70s as a Groom. Maureen Karle (Kelly) as did my father Randy Karle. So sad I didnt make it to the last race. So sad to see it go.

What fun they had!! Thanks for sharing the videos!! Justice was funny 😆

They seem to be a little harder to herd than cats . But they won't smack you upside the head for petting them. Beautiful babies.

Typical for a harness track... Somebody always makes a break and goes off stride at the start. lmao j/k

❤ this is just awesome! We had a great day! Thanks for posting the video! 🐶 ❤

Very excited to see this when it comes out!

Thanks for the great memories of the Pompono park. I only got to visit it one time when I was on vacation in Miami. It was a great harness track in winter for years. I did play their races via simulcasting till they closed. Unfortunately this is a trend for both harness and throughbred race tracks. With the expansion of gambling, lottery, casino and now sports betting the interest in any kind of horse racing seems to be decreasing. It’s a shame because unlike the other types of gambling the odds are set by the players not the house or the state. In casino games and lottery games if you play enough you will always lose. With some skill you can win betting horse racing if you study and bet on only races you feel you can win. The other problem with racing is in many cases like Pompono’s the land it sits on becomes too valuable to only use it for a seasonal part of the year operation. So the owners sell out to developers or decide to redevelop the land themselves.

It's sad that it's getting to the point of basically 3 generations of people...that have no idea what they're missing out on. Appreciate you celebrating the history of harness racing. Hopefully it will encourage a few people to take a deeper look.

Talk about the perfect trip.

These videos are awesome!! I hope you make more

People will gamble but unfortunately they’ll gamble on the easiest thing they can gamble on. Shoving quarters into a slot machine is easier than handicapping a horse race. It’s so sad but there’s no changing it.

More of this

another one bites the dust

And Your All Still There. And I'm Not. !

Does anyone know if there are any old tapes in the grandstand? There are folks that are able and willing to digitize old race tapes and post them to CZcams. My friend and I were able to save a lot of old tapes from Maywood Park in Chicago.

I’m confused. I know they don’t race in the summer but are they saying that it is closing indefinitely??

Great tribute nicely done!

Wally 😭 Kevin Wallis 🙌🏾

Only a casual harness fan. But this kind of thing breaks my heart. Same with Arlington, Hollywood, etc, etc. These places have historical significance. Just really sad. Even more of a tragedy that a lot of people don't even know what they're missing. Racing is great BECAUSE of the mental challenge of making a prediction and the emotional ups and downs of the race results. But people would rather flush their money down the drain on a machine with instant results that's rigged against them. I cannot relate to that sort of mentality. Mindless casino gambling does nothing to enrich the world. Racing provides an opportunity for anyone with $2 to participate in a sport of kings that creates lasting memories.
