this does not bode well.
Trying to get the link from drf.com about Hollywood cancelling Wednesday due to lack of entries. Either way, this goes to quality and health of horses, not about jurisdictions.

INGLEWOOD, Calif. - Hollywood Park has canceled racing on Wednesday because of insufficient entries.
Racing is scheduled to resume on Thursday, with an eight-race program.
The announcement of Wednesday's cancellation was made on Sunday afternoon. Track officials had hoped to draw programs for Wednesday and Thursday on Sunday, but were unable to attract sufficient horses for both days.
Some races that had been filled for Wednesday will be reintroduced over the weekend, according to racing secretary Martin Panza.
The cancellation of Wednesday's program is the first program lost at the spring-summer meeting after track officials took measures before the start of the meeting anticipating an overall shortage of runners.
There were only four days of racing scheduled for the first two weeks of the meeting, which began on April 21, followed by five-day racing weeks for three weeks beginning the week of May 5. The track had intended to run six days for the upcoming week, from Wednesday through Monday's Memorial Day holiday, but only five days will be run now.
Hollywood Park does not plan to race on the final three Thursdays of the current meeting, July 1, 8, and 15.
Through Saturday, the track has averaged 7.82 runners per race, compared to 7.59 runners per race during the same period at the 2009 spring-summer meeting. For the entire 2009 spring-summer meeting, there was an average 7.94 runners per race.
Last summer, Hollywood Park canceled the final nine Wednesdays of the meet as well as one Thursday program in April because of insufficient entries.
Golden Gate Fields in Northern California canceled its Wednesday card because of a lack of entries last Friday.
