There's a counter-example, which is that even though Golden Gate had the synthetic track, Bay Meadows closed.

I don't know that much about Chicago real estate but it wouldn't surprise me if a big plot of land in Arlington Heights has greater redevelopment value than Hawthorne does. And also Hawthorne can host harness races and Arlington, as a 9 furlong track, can't. So there are other factors here.
