Tracks struggle

The Globe reports today that Wonderland has shut down. The Revere greyhound track was hanging on in the hope that expanded gambling would save it after a voter-approved initiative outlawing dog racing went into effective Jan. 1. A few days ago the newspaper reported that Suffolk Downs is making cutbacks. The state egislature is scheduled to return to formal session in January, and it's likely that a gambling bill will emerge again.
