Hollywood Park granted 2010 racing dates
INGLEWOOD, Calif. — There will be racing at Hollywood Park next year.
There had been questions about the track’s future since the Inglewood City Council in July approved a $2 billion retail and residential development on the site where there has been racing since 1938.
The California Horse Racing Board set the annual spring-summer meeting for April 21 through July 18. The fall meeting runs Nov. 3 through Dec. 19. The decision came at the board’s regular meeting in Coalinga, Calif.
The track will open this year’s 27-day fall meeting on Nov. 13. It will be 13 days shorter than last year, with four stakes races dropped.
