fter 29 years of horses running through Sports Creek Raceway, the Swartz Creek entertainment facility is shutting its doors.
Chris Locking, general manager of the harness racing track, said on Tuesday, Jan. 6, that the raceway is closing and is seeking any interested buyers.
“It’s time to go another direction and hopefully it will turn out to be on a brighter side,” Locking said.
On Jan. 1, the facility had to close according to the Michigan Gaming Control Board because the raceway lacked a contract with the Michigan Harness Horsemen’s Association.
