The Freehold Raceway Horse Track - Today, it Closes Forever: A Weird and Disgusting Place

[@Horseracingtip]

7:30. This is how horseracing used to be all the time before phone betting. It was always a fun place to hang out with friends. Now, everyone stays at home and bets. Technology has a lot of negatively.

5:18 "These are betting machines." I'm amazed you are aware what those are.

Sad to see it shut down. It’s been there my whole life. Oh well, change is inevitable

[@RapidTransit1941]

For me it's not disgusting because it looked exactly as it did when my Dad took me to my first racetrack. I know it needed renovations but it was a piece of the world that looked the same when I was a child. There not many places like this left so I'm sad to see it gone. I'm also disappointed the title of this video has negativity when you aren't familiar with these places. Your video allows a future generation to see a historic venue on its final day. I thank you for documenting and making this video, however "Weird and Disgusting" is a tremendous disservice.

To show what an absolute failure this video is, just watch the 16:00 mark. This guy sees a wall filled with historic plaques. Then he proceeds to comment "and here's some plaques", & then continues to walk on past. No explanation, no historical significance & doesn't even bother to acknowledge that there just might be something interesting on the wall that his "viewers" might want to see. What an absolute clown show. He was so repulsed by the track & it's clientele that he couldn't get out of there fast enough to run back into his safe space. I wouldn't be surprised him ran out of there and proceeded "clean up" with some hand sanitizer after visiting such a low down vile place. Maybe he ran off to put his mask on in fear of catching COVID or BIRD FLU.

16:51. Clubhouse.

[@unknownuser6757]

They should replace the racetrack, with a nightclub for adults

[@redneck4528]

The nissan maxima doing scumbag things. Maybe the guy wanted an Altima

[@Horseracingtip]

3:01. This guy wasn't a "boomer". What derogatory name do you give him?🤤

[@anthonyd6370]

understand that you are not informed about this subject , the handle is not enough to support the track other words no money no racing ! but thank you for filming this ,i use to drive down fron ny every monday [ my day off] to bet on the horses !

[@oldiesgeek454]

So in other words, the amount of money bet at the track itself, plus the amount of money bet through intertrack wagering, still wasn't enough to keep Freehold afloat?

I LIKE YOUR VIDEO BUT YOU CALLED THE PLACE DIRTY,AND YOU DID A VIDEO ON NOTHING YOU KNOW ABOUT.MANY PEOPLE WILL LOSE THIER JOBS LATER IN THE DAY.IF YOU DO FUTURE VIDEOS DO A LITTLE RESEARCH ON YOUR TOPIC.YOU KNEW NOTHING WHAT YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT,

[@cyclesmoking]

This video is equivalent to someone showing up at the death bed of an old person who they never met to make fun of how bad they look. 🙄

[@user-bj5tn4hy5g]

You would be surprised that many that attend, can buy and sell you! How dare you call those that attend what you did! After the new owners bought it, they let it run down. In it's hay day it was very clean, well-attended and "the place to be." Perhaps you should have down research and shown how it was BEFORE the new owners took over. Shame on you!

[@Eric-qv2rz]

Losing tickets on the floor is seen at every racetrack fool😂😂

[@Horseracingtip]

You showed everything but a race.

[@sandman9357]

You're right, totally has a casino vibe.

[@SDBrandfan]

Place looks the same it did 30 years ago, down to the same interior paint

[@JJJinks]

I read up on the history (after editing, I should have included some of that as a voice-over). The fire happened in 1985, and when they rebuilt, it was never significantly updated since then.

[@drdontpassone8164]

''its basically a stadium'' gggggggg

[@richardnicklas4956]

Harness racing it’s a shame the only 2 other harness tracks that are still making any money is Yonkers and meadowlands other than that they are gonna go out of business and the ones that survive are only doing so is simulcasting from other horse racing tracks

[@Eric-qv2rz]

How can you do a video and know nothing about the subject😂😂. And you were there before? The food trucks are on the apron ..not on the track😂😂
