I dont know how he has led the demise of horse racing in Cali. , is it because he mandated synthetic racing surfaces? This is all I know , there were alot more horses being hauled off the track in the ambulance than there are now , in saying this Im not saying that its the complete solution to the problem of Cali. having alot of horses that were breaking down on Santa Anitas old surface, but the synthetic does seem to help with how hard trainers drill the horses here , I truly think that Cali has to be # 1 or 2 in being the over training capital of the world. Dilligence is what is needed , on the part of trainers and owners and whoever fills his space Im hoping is on the side of the horses.
