Hollywood night racing?

[MaTH716]

Hollywood opens up this week, but unfortunately according to the racing calendar on their site, all Friday post-times are normal 1:00 (PST) starts. Is this correct, did they do away with the Friday night cards? And if so, does anyone know why?

flat handle. some loss of simulcast market with the late east coast close.

i'll miss it because the only time i've gone to hollywood park in the last few years was when a band played that i wanted to see.

Shame....It was a nice change from the usual afternoon cards. The crowd was much more fun.

What a bummer, I loved Friday nights under the lights and playing good races to 2 a.m. They will lose my handle on Fridays with afternoon racing.

Looks like they are really trying to wrap things up over there, the land value must be going back up.

John Sheriffs leaving California should tell you all you need to know about what Hollywood Park will be after the fall meet.

They have also discontinued the scratch line. Seems as if they are cutting everything that isn't needed (ie: cost money) anymore.

yeah, they've been saying for months now that this is it for hollywood. it's too bad. the only question now seems to be how to fill the void.
