That's the single biggest thing killing racing there.

And you can make this statement because....the great Paulo Lobo left the state?

Seriously, everyone that ran there three years ago is still there, and it could be argued that there have been many more horses shipping in than before the plastic stuff.

California is a failing economic state, where making money and spending it on god forbid horses is not the most commendable deed. Racing is just caught up in a bigger game, of course they do their best to contribute to their own demise.
