So, the TOC maintains it's "Screw the fans and the future, let get ours now while we still can" attitude. How narrow minded. Does that mean that the hugely popular 14% Pick 5 will become a thing of the past?

Would appear that Los Al is out and Pomona is in on the expansion issue, but Fairplex is also iffy, and may just settle for a pair of additional short meets in June and November. Am not keen on Del Mar racing into the fall. This was tried many years ago, and it was a huge flop. Of course this was before simulcasting and Otb, but even so, DMR is a summer resort area, and on track crowds and revenues from admissions, parking, and concessions would be sharply reduced, perhaps to only half or at best, two thirds of the summer numbers.
