He made a couple comments that left you with the idea that CD has no interest in making a long term commitment to something that does not give them control of it.
It just seemed from listening to him yesterday, without saying it emphatically, that the permanent home will end up being SA and that the silly putty track will be ripped out for dirt as a condition of the agreement.
I would be very surprised if others listening didn't come away with the same conclusion.
At least he didn't cus like a sailor this week, you can hear the frustration in the poor guys voice when he talks about the continued lack of uniform agreement among the holy 47.

What's in it for Santa Anita? The host tracks doesnt make a windfall off of the event so why be the permanent host of an event that takes a tremendous amount of work to pull off but isnt compensating you? I just cant believe anyone would want to be a permanent host under the current setup.
