I brought up the Schwab piece on air for the same reason: it is directly tied to possible eventualities in Inglewood. And I maintain that an open Bay Meadows beats what you have there right now...

Hollywood Park has been a constant in its' environs for 7+ decades and a vitally important economic bastion to the Inglewood community. I won't go on because you'll simply insert a throwaway punchline about Inglewood here without any real interest or comprehension of what its' destruction will bring to the area.

As for Saratoga, it was forward-thinking Averill Harriman that ensured the perpetuation of the Race Course, not the dribblecup doyen. Not acknowledging the parallels between your consolidation plan and the potential steamrolling of Saratoga in the mid-60's wraps up this interesting conversation for now. I have some work to do before the show...
