The Hollywood Turf Club opened its track off Century Boulevard in June 1938 with Jack Warner and other studio men on the board. Seabiscuit won the first Hollywood Gold Cup a month later. Fire destroyed the grandstand in May 1949 and the whole meeting had to move to Santa Anita. The track held the inaugural Breeders' Cup in 1984, ran its last race in December 2013, and the land underneath it is now SoFi Stadium.
That was 1 of the hidden places.
