This episode of Small Town Big Racing in Massachusetts features a discussion with Judi Grupp Korzec as we dig into one of the most contentious areas of this proposal, sports betting.

This discussion clarifies the difference between gambling and sports betting and the connection to Commonwealth Equine and Agricultural Center's proposal for a thoroughbred horse race track in Hardwick.

She discussed the implications of Hardwick becoming the epicenter for Sports Betting in Massachusetts and what this could mean for the small town in the coming years.

We also explore questions that arise regarding the sports betting licensing that will be made available to Commonwealth Equine and Agricultural Center if the location for the race track is approved.

If you aren't sure what this proposal really includes when it comes to gambling, sports betting, and associated risks for this small town, this episode is for you.
