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!!

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!

Any one else see a problem with running from Christmas to the 4th of July at SA, then giving the turf course 9 weeks to recover, then run the fall meet over it, THEN hosting the Breeders Cup on it?

Sad to hear this.
There is an episode of Dragnet 1970 where Joe Friday narrates about Hollywood Park and how many thousands of people go there each day to try their luck. It hasn't been that kind of track for a long time but it is sad to think that it will be physically gone and permanently deprived of any chance of improving.

Yea, I don't care if they close it. Way too many 5, 6 and 7 horse races. Been saying it for a long time. That crap is not good entertainment. Enough already. Way too many obvious outcome races, too. They have no clue what entertainment is. I don't see where building condos (or whatever) there is that much worse than running all these 5,6, and 7 horse races. The area is not great, but it's not as bad as people on here are saying it is.

but the local ABC news team is on the story, too. http://abclocal.go.com/kabc/story?se...les&id=9461573 I wonder, did they give as much attention to the actual closing of the track?
