I don't know who I love more.

Politicians or developers.

Charlie Hayward was quoted not too long ago about how the major players in horse racing are key and vital to the overall success of the game.

Interestingly, Belmont's handle did not see a big increase last Wednesday despite these larger tracks bailing on the day. When the big guys don't run, people don't think about horse racing, they don't go to the track and bet on horse racing... it's a long, scary trickle effect.

Maybe Jess Jackson..can ride in and save the day !!!! Since he cares sooo
oooooooooooooooooooooo much about horse racing !

True, that Inglewood community is just overflowing with people who want to work and go to school.

Nobody wanted to hang out in downtown LA either. But they built the Staples Center, the Nokia Theatre, ESPN moved there, there are restaurants, a new Marriott. To quote Field of Dreams, "if you build it, they will come."
