Fairplex to replace HP??????????

[Indian Charlie]

This has to be the biggest WTF I've ever read in racing!

They want to put in a 7f turf course as well as expand the main track and convert it to all weather, so they can run in all types of smoggy conditions.

My response would be, why bother at all, even if HP closes?

For starters, SA is practically right down the street. Second, Pomona sucks!

I'd give Del Mar all of HP's spring/summer days.

Heck, why not get crazy and let the BC in on the nuttiness! I think maybe they can run future BC turf races at SA or DM, and run the dirt races at Los Al!

Which reminds me of the time Lukas almost ran a horse named Hennessey at Los Al.
