Jackson Harness raceway closed in 08. Seems to be the same sort of thing involving slot machines.
Story from 2009

I personally don’t gamble or care for horse racing but don’t care what they do down there as long as I don’t have to pay for it.
Harness racing is a completely different animal. It has never been big for 100 years, yet it’s still here. Interesting to note. But still not a good comparison to running races. It is bush league to TB Ascot.
