Quote:
"During the track’s final weekend of racing, a horse trained by Jerry Hollendorfer was catastrophically injured while training, leading to a ban of undetermined length of the Hall of Fame trainer at both Santa Anita and Golden Gate Fields. The ban was issued by The Stronach Group, which owns both tracks. Fravel said that Breeders’ Cup will control the rules of entry for horses in its event, as is typical for all events held in the past, and he said that the organization has not yet made a decision on whether Hollendorfer would be allowed to enter any horses in its races. “We aren’t going to pre-judge any entries until we know the circumstances prevailing at the time,” Fravel said."

People should factor into their evaluation of the decision the contractual elements involved and the possibility that the only practical alternative site was increasingly reticent about hosting. (Not to mention the devastating effect abandoning Santa Anita would have on the future of already tenuous racing interests in the state.)

Curious to know what the breakdown rate is at Churchill?
What would the reaction be if you move from SA because of breakdowns and then a horse breaks down at Churchill?
