Rockingham Park Needs State Aid to Avoid Closure
Concord NH House Minority Leader Ernest Coutermarsh says Rockingham Park in Salem faces closure unless NH lowers its parimutuel cut and raises the track share. He argues a 5 percent state cut and 2 percent higher track share would boost purses, attract better horses, raise attendance, and increase state tax revenue. The track has contributed about $9 million last year and roughly $136 million since racing began 40 years ago.
