The response from 1st Racing was pretty over the top...? Maryland just essentially squeezed 1st Racing out of track ownership in favor of more state control. California could do the same thing. The other marquee track in the state, Delmar is part of the fair circuit. Does that mean the state has a lot of say on what happens there? If so, Delmar takes the winter, spring, and summer dates, and goes dark during the fall unless there's a Breeders Cup. The other state fair tracks up north take the other dates? Financially that would make morse sense. If it's a state run enterprise it would only need to support itself and cut out a profit structure. Which I think is where the game might be headed...? That could also return the purses to a level that supports the 1st class racing the state is accustomed to.
