Possibly, Hollypark Got What It Deserved
After reading of the recent woes of the Hollywood Park meeting, as a representative of the $2 bettor, I can only say it couldn’t have happened to a more deserving bunch.
The track of no lakes and flowers won’t let you bring in your own seats for grandstand space or the infield; won’t let you bring in your own refreshments; and charges hell out of you by some of the most surly employees you ever saw for some the worst hot dogs and beer ever concocted by man.
From the sunny seats, the view of the horses at the finish line is one resembling the rear end of Shetland ponies. The stretch is so long that horses shuffled back at the far turn can come on like Silky Sullivan, only you don’t see them in the grandstand.
It’s strictly bush at the corner of Prairie and Century.
