In its first 74 years of racing on dirt, Santa Anita canceled four cards due to rain. In three years of synthetics, it has had to cancel racing 17 times.

I realize that 4 times in 74 years means that Santa Anita cancelled a card for rain once every 18.5 years ... but even that number is friggen absurdly high. I'd really like to know more about the circumstances surrounding those four cards.
