My father told me that a friend of his can watch the horserace at
Hawthorn racetrack through a live feed at "Hawthorn.com" this is not
so. And I can't find it. It's the one in Maywood IL. Can you help me
get where I need to go?

Or rather, is it the Hawthorne Race Course in Stickney/Cicero,
Illinois, right outside Chicago?  I've found information about live
video from that track.

This is the racetrack in Maywood IL. Sometimes called Hawthorn racecourse.

Just to be on the safe side, let me give you a two-part answer to this
question.

The track in Maywood, Illinois, is called Maywood Park.  It does not
appear to have live video feeds.

The track in Stickney/Cicero, Illinois, is called Hawthorne Race
Course.  (Please note the "e" at the end of "Hawthorne".)  The track
does offer live audio and video on its web site.

Hawthorne Race Course is several miles southeast of Maywood Park.  You
might have thought that Hawthorne Race Course was in Maywood, IL
because it is so close, but the official address is Stickney/Cicero,
IL (it is on the border of these two towns).
