This episode of Small Town Big Racing in Massachusetts features Hardwick resident Kaeli Raymond and a discussion that digs into the application for a sports wagering license that was submitted to the Massachusetts State Gaming Commission by Commonwealth Equine and Agricultural Center.

Kaeli shares direct quotes and insightful information about what is NOT being talked about but is included in the application, as well as inconsistencies, questions, and concerns around the first Draft of the Host Community Agreement they have shared.

This highlights the $500,00 promised to the town of Hardwick, the impact this track could have on the town, as well as some specific information regarding what they intend to spend money on as they begin hosting race days.
