Looks like none of the Magna tracks are participating, are they?

Don't think I saw Del Mar on there either.

Perhaps Hollywood deserves congrats as being "different" from its Cali counterparts.

It appears Hollywood Park is the only participating California racetrack. Would like to know why..Magna has Gulfstream and Lone Star on the list so kudos for that.

The article does say that it is a PILOT program, and also that:
"In addition to the tracks starting the study June 1, several other tracks anticipate participating if they can arrange personnel by that time."
