Hollywood closing now official..

This day at Hollywood Park was amazing back in 1977. We had to get there around 9am to get a seat and the place was packed. I just remember getting goosebumps as everyone was yelling Shoe, Shoe, Shoe coming down the stretch of the swaps Stakes!!

Opening day on a Tuesday ?

Mike Pegram said today on the Roger Stein show that it would cost the Ca horse industry about 13k a day more to stable at Fairplex compared to Los Al, which adds up to a lot of money! Also James Cassidy said he liked Fairplex so much more then Los Al for stabling because it is so much closer to Santa Anita. First of all its like 8 miles closer and Los Al is an easy drive to S.A. plus the weather is so much better since its closer to the ocean, so it sounds like politics per as usual in Ca!
