That's what was in the seventh paragraph of this article forcasting the demise of Hollywood Park. Unbelieveable. Also linked to from Paulick Report.

Sam Houston's President also said of the closure: "This is a normal part of business — great brands and products come and go." Pardon me, but how many new tracks have you guys seen lately? I'm not sure which is worse: the lack of alarm over Hollywood Park going away or the delusions surrounding the existing tracks that "everything is just fine -- not for everybody else, but for us."
