11:30 Racing From Plainfield (New Jersey)
Plainfield was a greyhound race track in the town of the same name in eastern Connecticut, not New Jersey. I'm surprised the Courant made this error, considering the paper used to run the results from there daily. Or did you just assume the track was in New Jersey because that was the only town called Plainfield you knew of?

It was the latter. My extreme bad, considering I'm from California. Thank you so much for that corrective info!

I take it from your username that you're from Connecticut, correct?
