You have way to much faith in politicians, when the money is right for everyone in the deal...it will be developed.

That track (SA) will be a historic landmark. It's not going anywhere.

Arcadia is a very affluent community and the track along with the huge park nearby is a big part of it. Repeat, it's not going anywhere - unless horse racing ceases to exist.

I thought that was a given? Racing dies in the market, they sell, no buyers at the crazy land value asking price...track goes desolate, then developed.

Ceases to exist EVERYWHERE, not just SA.

GP is a very nice track to go to. It's one of my favorites. And it's sort of cool that the statue is the second largest in the US, topped only by Lady Liberty.

The slots and poker are separate, a building across the road, if I remember..

TSG wants a monopoly wherever they are. Look what happens wherever they are - Bay Area, LA, Florida. Next to go will be Pimlico.
They beat Churchill Downs. That's always a good thing.

I don't know why you think that. They could easily expand the mall onto the property. No one living there would bat an eye.

Thanks to Franky and GP.

Thought of another thing, why should horses that are pushing distance limits like Sharp Azteca now have to run even farther on a whim?

Nobody wants an outside post. That's why I doubt there will be any serious objections. Hopefully next year they will take your suggestion and just make it a mile and three sixteenths

I'm sure they don't, but they knew the rules when they ponied up the mostly fake entry fee.

Run ups are in conditions. If Del Mar can go 200 for a mile on the main then this isn't that far out. 30 extra feet would make it a better gambling race IMO

Thirty extra feet is highly unlikely to make a difference. Since Gulfstream does so many things poorly for bettors, condoning them changing things on a whim isn't really a great idea IMO.
