| Dog gone: Greyhound racing comes to an end in Florida |
| 2021-01-02 |
It was the last day greyhound racing was legal in Florida, something that should represent a financial upturn for Johnson. "I lose my money every day," he said with a smile. Still, Johnson, who has been going to the Palm Beach Kennel Club since 1987, couldn’t shake his sense of loss. Although the mood was generally festive at the Kennel Club with live music, giveaways and plenty of racing, Johnson considered Thursday a sad day. And so did the 3,000 or so people who went to the venue on New Year’s Eve. Regulars said it was the largest crowd in years. It figures it came on the final day the greyhounds were running. |
