For what it's worth the Cushion track at Hollywood park is the main reason that we are seeing larger feilds in most of the races at Santa Anita this year. The barns are full at Hollywood and Santa Anita has open stalls because most trainers don't want to at a disavantage by training on Santa Anita's dirt track. Cushion puts some wind in them without the swelling in the tendons and joint like dirt does.
