Ingleside Track Remains Closed After City Vote
San Francisco supervisors defeated an ordinance to reopen Ingleside track for racing by a 12 to 6 vote. Despite appeals from businessmen to permit betting inside a race track enclosure, a larger opposition from churches and chambers of commerce kept the track closed. The antiracing sentiment, born in a long race track war since 1895, makes a reopening unlikely and the costly project remains a financial drain. The legislature may review the racing issue in the near future.
