No Cal Racing
Truth is the land that they both sit on land that is just way way too valuable. Both facilities are quite old with little or no money spent to keep them up. The one exception was at Bay Meadows to install new barns inside the main track so that the old barns and training track could be torn down and a housing develpment complex was built.
The best thing to happen would probably be to close both facilities down and build the proposed track at Dixon.... It is pretty sad when a race track junkie like myself hardly ever drives the 15 miles to see live racing at Golden Gate fields. The place is an eyesore and the racing quality is poor.
THere has been talk that Bay Meadows has been looking to shut down over the past five years or more. This poly track is just the excuse that they need to shut down and build more houses over the land....
