What a bummer, I loved Friday nights under the lights and playing good races to 2 a.m. They will lose my handle on Fridays with afternoon racing.

Looks like they are really trying to wrap things up over there, the land value must be going back up.

John Sheriffs leaving California should tell you all you need to know about what Hollywood Park will be after the fall meet.

They have also discontinued the scratch line. Seems as if they are cutting everything that isn't needed (ie: cost money) anymore.

Thanks for the info guys.
Just a shame, those Friday night cards were my favorite. Everyone in the house went to sleep, I would get a cold drink, sit down with the Friday Night DT crew and watch races till about 2 in the morning. So much for that.
