Pull Out Which Lead to Fewer Races and Less Betting

Posted by Mary in Greyhound Betting News on 11 24th, 2008 | no responses

There was a pull out of greyhounds at the Raynham Park the other Sunday which have lead to fewer races and less betting. The said pull out was all for the decision of a kennel operator. The pull out unfortunately then caused closure of Raynham Park for simulcast Monday and Tuesday night.

Because of the bad happenings, some employees now of Raynham Park are afraid that the that the track, the dogs and their jobs might be phased out long before Jan. 1, 2010 closure deadline.

Some employees fear that if some other kennel owners follow suit, the track could be closed by the next spring. “Please help us. Our hours are being cut,” said Cheryl Bonaparte. Bonaparte is one of the six Raynham residents who has been advocating two years extension of the deadline.

In defense of Christopher Roberts, worker at Raynham for 11 years as pari-mutuel track announcer, “They’re trying to stay open on high-volume days”. Still, Raynham at some point wants their employees to stay calm and be deaf from all the issues.

However, due to the pull out which lead to fewer races and less betting and eventually which then lead to closure of Raynham for simulcast, it really shows there’s a trouble. Thus, employees of Raynham have justifiable reason to get worried.

Employees of Raynham also believe that some of their kennel operators are now finding for other venues that are out-of-state. Hence, because of great fear, some of them have contacted the governor’s office for help and they seem to be making some sort of impact. They wish to reach enough people at the State House to amend the Greyhound Protection Act, their only hope.
