$2 billion renovation of Hollywood Park may add up to more racing at Santa Anita and Pomona

When the track is torn down, its absence will significantly alter the racing landscape in Southern California.
Hollywood Park's 100-or-so days of racing would be split up between Fairplex in Pomona, Santa Anita in Arcadia and Del Mar in San Diego, officials said.
About 1,500 horses stabled in Inglewood would be moved to barns in Pomona and San Luis Rey Downs near Bonsall in San Diego County.
"It would change the racing calendar in Southern California," said Ron Charles, the president of Santa Anita Park in Arcadia. "More than likely, that change would allow Santa Anita and Del Mar to have more racing dates. The Santa Anita meet would go longer and later in the year, Del Mar would add some dates in the summer. There's a possibility that there might be a short fall meet in Del Mar and another short meet at Fairplex before the Santa Anita annual opening."
