Unless a compromise is reached between Calder and Gulfstream Park, the two tracks will battle nose-to-nose starting July 6, a showdown that will force most trainers to choose sides.

If the tracks stick with a new dates proposal, that will no longer be the case. Starting July 6, Hallandale’s Gulfstream intends to race on Saturdays and Sundays, putting it in direct competition with Calder, which plans to race on Fridays, as well.

just another example of tracks not looking at the broader picture. horse racing shouldn't be competing against itself, but other forms of entertainment. it's too bad.

Greed is prevalent in most businesses, horse racing is hardly immune
