ITEM 5.   OTHER EVENTS.

     On May 28, 1997, Patriot American Hospitality, Inc. ("Patriot"), Patriot
American Hospitality Partnership, L.P., California Jockey Club ("Cal Jockey")
and Bay Meadows Operating Company ("Bay Meadows") entered into an Agreement and
Plan of Merger, dated as of February 24, 1997, as amended and restated as of May
28, 1997.  Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Patriot will merge with and into
Cal Jockey (the "Merger"), with Cal Jockey being the surviving company.

     The Merger Agreement was amended and restated on May 28, 1997 to, among
other things, (i) eliminate the joint self tender offer of Cal Jockey and Bay
Meadows, (ii) entitle Patriot stockholders to receive for each share of Patriot
common stock held at the effective time of the Merger 0.51895 paired shares (the
"Exchange Ratio") of common stock of the surviving companies (subject to certain
real estate investment trust qualification requirements); provided, that if the
average closing price of a share of Patriot common stock over the 20 trading
days immediately preceding the third trading day prior to the special meeting of
stockholders of Patriot to be held on July 1, 1997 (the "Average Trading Price")
is less than $17.125, then each share of Patriot common stock would be converted
into the number of paired shares equal to the Patriot Average Trading Price
divided by $33.00, and (iii) extend from June 30, 1997 to July 14, 1997 the date
on or after which the parties could terminate the Merger Agreement if the
conditions to their respective obligations under the Merger Agreement were not
satisfied or waived.
 
     The Merger Agreement, which has been unanimously approved by the Board of
Directors of each of Patriot, Cal Jockey and Bay Meadows, is subject to a number
of conditions, including the approvals of the stockholders of each of Patriot,
Cal Jockey and Bay Meadows.  Patriot, Cal Jockey and Bay Meadows will convene
special meetings of their respective stockholders on July 1, 1997 for the
purpose of approving the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated 
therein.
