John Shireffs was one.

He only made 7 starts on it at Del Mar the first year and ran more horses on the turf .. and he's only made 5 starts so far this year .. two of them coming in the Zenyatta race where he had the cinch exacta on paper in a Grade 1.

That racing is so painful to watch there it's comical.

All SoCal tracks need to do now is dig up the six or so inches of **** that they run on and replace it with dirt.Their tracks have a beautiful drainage system that is installed underneath.It don't rain much,but it will help SA in the winter meet.
