I like HP too.
Although SA gets all the hype, with the mountains in the background, I have long preferred HP. Perhaps it is because I sometimes attended during the late spring - early summer meet, when the temps were nice and the sun was always shining. For years it seemed better maintained and landscaped than SA, with fresher paint, more flowers, the sparkling lake, and the always-present sunshine. In contrast, most of my visits to SA were during the late winter-early spring meet, when it was often overcast, cold and rainy. Yuck. If I want that, I will go to New York for winter racing.
Too bad the economic forces battering horse racing and HP's terrible location in Inglewood contributed to cause its demise.
I love Hollywood - the location is very accessible - I will be there Sunday = have my box - anyone want to share - I have 4 seats and just me going - section 210
