A smiling young man happily shows off the winning ticket for a $5 bet he placed in 1976 at the now-demolished Hollywood Park Racetrack that was famous for 75 years as the place for thoroughbred horse racing in Los Angeles County, California, USA. The track opened in Inglewood in 1938 and closed at the end of the 2013 race season. The 298-acre (121-hectare) site is being transformed into a residential, entertainment and sports center that features the new 70,000-seat Los Angeles Stadium where the home football games of the Los Angeles Chargers and Los Angeles Rams will be played.
