HP has been rumored to be closing for years, and there is no talk of this on the racing boards. In addition, they did just invest in a multi-million dollar racing surface. With that said the land is too valuable to be a racetrack forever so its possible the sale/conversion could come sooner rather than later. There will still be wagering on other tracks but the crowds that are there during live racing season will be down. I am not sure how many of those people filtered into the poker games but over the course of the year it shouldn't impact overall action very much.
