I’d say the final nail in the coffin of racing in Southern California was that embarrassing renewal of the Californian.

Look I get it, racing provides jobs, etc. But the reality is, it’s a horrendous product and at this point they can’t even card more than two days a week.

Contraction is the only way to go and as we’ve seen now for the better part of two years Belinda doesn’t care about racing. Shut it down.

I've been preaching this argument since 2008 about contraction.
