Southern California is doomed when the next residencial home building boom comes, and it will.
Santa Anita is on PRIME real estate.
Hollywood Park is already tagged to be redeveloped.
Del Mar, who knows what the future holds. It isnt in the location to take on a year round racing and make it worth while. Fun for 6 weeks, then the vacations over.
Fairplex is owned by the county and I dont see them investing in a new track to take on more racing dates. It is what it is, County fair race track.
Los Al is also on prime redevelopment real estate, so I dont see them investing in a new facility and race track to take on more than what they have now. Los Al and Fairplex are really old facilities and in need of being replaced.
The short stroy is you can put a fork in California racing, its on life support now.
