all Hollywood had to do was take a visit to another cdsn owned track named Calder Racecourse.
they are doing just fine down there in a warm weather environment with a conventional dirt surface.
instead, after failing miserably the year before with their installation of a new turf course(caused the cancellation of all turf racing in the 2005 Winter meet), they proceeded to fail miserably in the current year with the installation of a new synthetic main track surface.
I dont even want to think about what they are going to f*ck up in 2007.
there are only 2 courses for them to mess up.
maybe they will decide to rebuild the grandstand out of straw and mud next year.
then when it blows over and they have to cancel the 2007 Summer meet, they can blame it on a study they did that found that the safest building construction materials for human racetrack wagerers was mud and straw.

Hollywood parks Turf course failed under the ownership of Chruchill downs due to thier do nothing to the facilities if we can't have slots.
Hollywood parks new owners have replaced both track surfaces because the former owners let it go the hell. Let's get this one right Chruchill Downs Management let Hollywood run down and the new owners are playing catch up and doing a very good job.
