In flux, not in danger. As discussed with Rick Hammerle on Friday, Del Mar seems the most likely host of the Starlet and Futurity.
From Steve Anderson's DRF piece:
On Thursday, it was not immediately clear what would happen to the Starlet or Futurity. Hammerle said in a phone interview in the afternoon that Santa Anita “would look at them with interest.” Del Mar officials expressed similar thoughts.
Timing could be an issue. The Futurity and Starlet have typically been run on the first three weekends of December, well away from the Breeders’ Cup earlier in the autumn. In 2016, Del Mar will run its autumn meeting through the first weekend of December before Los Alamitos begins its autumn meeting.
