The California Assn. of Racing Fairs has decided to withdraw its application for a racing meeting at Pleasanton Fairgrounds, reflecting growing deficits and challenges.
The formation of Golden State Racing aimed to provide racing opportunities in Northern California, addressing the void left by the closure of Golden Gate Fields.
Withdrawing from Pleasanton impacts horsemen and the state breeding industry, as the absence of races diminishes reasons to breed horses for the track.
The initial attempt at fall/winter racing was disappointing, leading to lower handle and purse cuts, showcasing ongoing difficulties in Northern California horse racing.
