edit~~  just grabbed that issue.  san luis rey downs, a training center 'may be back in the picture'.  that's the place stronach, etc owns.  has a one mile track. 
fairplex would expand the 5f track to 6f, and add a five furlong turf track. 
los al has a 5f track.  they'd change it to 7f, but no turf track added.

 5 furlong turf track? why even bother?   Whatever the replacement track is, the quality of racing in So Cal will be diminished for sure
