The rumors of it's demise have been greatly exaggerated.

Well, not really exaggerated too much.

Seriously, the fat lady hasn't sung yet, but she's been seen in the building.

The "backdoor" part of the story is that Pleasanton is now working to get polytrack and is angling to get 10 to 12 weeks of the Bay Meadows racing if/when it goes. Pleasanton is one of the nicer summer fair tracks in the Bay Area, and is purported to be the oldest mile track in North America.
