The racetrack opened in 1941.

Its closure leaves Northern California without a horse racetrack.

Bay Meadows across the bay closed in 2008.

Not that I couldn't see that coming. There weren't many people in the stands on the couple of race days I attended over 15 years ago.

I'm surprised it stayed open as long as it did.

That waterfront property it's sitting on has got to be worth a fortune.

Dollar Days were kinda fun, but this doesn't surprise me at all

If only there were some sort of local ball team we could build a stadium for in this site.
