Hollywood Park, What A Run It Had by admin - 2013-12-26 21:00:00 ( in culture, sports, horse-racing) [php version] rebuild

Today (December 22, 2013) is the last day of racing at Hollywood Park before it's torn down. It's sad, but that part of town has been "the 'hood" for several decades now, so it's no surprise no one wanted to go there.

I worked there once, briefly, with the harness horses. It was back in the 80's, and it was not during a race meet, but just a place to stable the horses between meets.

from Hollywood Park: What a run it had!

"Once there was a very special racetrack, a bold, proud, brassy sporting palace of lakes, flowers, and an exotic species known as the goose girl, conjured up by movie moguls, frequented by celebrities, beloved by the masses. It was the place to see or be seen, whether you were a celebrity, a political figure, an industry titan, horse owner, or racing fan."
