really think they need a complete redo in Cali
Del Mar is the premiere venue, Los Al likely not long for this world as long rumored
Santa Anita has a great view but is a bullring in disguise + the wonderful, underused downhill turf course
I'd look into opening a new venue somewhere in the region for non-Del Mar season and close/sell Santa Anita to pay for this + start a new program to raise horses in California and attract some new trainers from around the world
I find the races in California unbettable due to the long history of shady trainers - seems worse in the Southwest US for whatever reason, likewise Arizona and New Mexico racing is useless
California needs some fresh thinking, learn from what's working at Colonial & Kentucky Downs to the East, and in Hong Kong to the West
and above all else, raise the bar on minimum standards on trainers so that a serious wager can be placed without thinking you need inside information to have a chance
