Pres-GM Tim Carey is "somewhere downtown working with professionals" to get money.

On Feb. 16, "We will not turn the track over to Thoroughbreds if nothing has happened" to fix the financial mess.

In the absence of president & GM Tim Carey, asst GM John Walsh of #Hawthorne tells the #IllinoisRacingBoard that he expects a resolution to report to the track's financial problems by next month's meeting. He also said "I don't believe any employee payments have bounced."

There is no shortage of pitchforks and torches on the stoop of #Hawthorne during public comments at the #IllinoisRacingBoard meeting.
