No Racing Today at Santa Anita Today

[Rupert Pupkin]

If they do end up moving to Hollywood Park, there will be no turf racing. There is no grass there right now. I guess this is the time of year where they work on the grass to get it ready for the Spring/Summer meet.

At least the turf horses can stay on the main cushion and have a fighting chance if they dont buzz down there in 107 for 3/4 with 12 claimers

Turf racing at Santa Anita and dirt racing at Hollywood? I have no idea if it is possible but I am guessing alot of trainers have horses/help at both tracks already

Many trainers do have horses and help at both tracks but I still think it is highly unlikely that there will be racing at both tracks at once.

You would know better then I do, I was just throwing it out there. Hopefully they get the whole ordeal resolved ASAP for all people that are involved.

I guess that would be a possibility. They could race one day a week at Santa Anita and have only turf racing on that day. That would certainly be workable.

do you think that the CHRB will even realize that is an option?

Don't they share equipment? Are they going to ship everything back and forth every week?

Hialeah had the best dirt track in the country too. Just the worst track owner.
