I can tell you that here on the west coast, southern Cal is played hugely more than any other track. back east it gets split up pretty good amongst ny, nj, ky, fl, chicago, maryland etc,
but over here, everyone is playing so cal. they have for years and it's always the number one game in town. in our otb's and in our off track at the track, southern cal is consistantly the highest and usually double of any other track. ironically golden gate is usually second, and ny third.
i remember being at river downs otb for del mar opening day and people back east didn't even care. over here it's like a holiday.
people on the west coast will always bet so cal, no matter how small the fields, what the surface is or anything.
