maybe one day we'll have an Oak Tree at Santa Anita at Del Mar meet.

You would think the CHRB would want some kind of scientific data, or proof these tracks did what they were supposed to do prior to installation. Instead they just wing it for 10 million a pop. They are getting what they deserve, complete idiots.

Thank God the rest of the world doesnt function as wreckless and foolishly as racing. It would be a miserable life.

Are you sure? So if our President was in charge of racing in CA everything would be perfect?

The game would be a lot better off with a Governing body. Whether Bush would be the right guy, we could all vote. Hed certanly be better than Barak Hussein Obama.

This gets stranger as it goes... Had a conversation just now which revealed the twist and origin of this rumor... Having the SA meet at Del Mar apparently was not a consideration. Del Mar though had offered to take up their Polytrack cushion and ship it to Santa Anita to be laid down there! If Santa Anita cannot get things straightened out, running races at Hollywood would indeed be a possibility.

Rick Hammerle and probably Ron Charles on 'At the Races' tonight (6pm) to deliver the latest on what can only be described as a very difficult situation right now...

If that was infact true would Del Mar have wanted it back after the meet? They tried to loan their Polytrack to Santa Anita? Racing in California is now BYOS, bring your own synthetic. How far the game has come.

Is that the nuttiest thing you've ever heard or isn't it? I was dumbstruck. Can't you can hear a truck driver calling the Santa Anita switchboard? "Uh. hi.. I got the racetrack here in 14 trucks... Where do you want it?"
