California racing is in trouble.

I was there a couple days last week, including last Saturday in what I would call an intentionally down card (saving for this weekend), and the last thing I thought coming out of the trip and the meet in general was that California racing is dead.
In fact I think it proves that if you have a quality product of full fields you will handle good numbers and people will be interested. I have no idea how the numbers are for the meet but the races have been great. Today is another solid betting card.
