Thinking out loud here.

Wouldn't it be smart for Santa Anita to run a trail race before the real races start. Something at like 10am with eight 8k claimers, put the purse at 10k and give no entry fees or anything, as a test for the jocks and this Pearse guy to see the action of the horse over it.

I don't know, could be real stupid but they are spending all this money again and why not take another 10k into the investment and test it....I am sure there are some owners that would run for the 6k 1st place.

And after that trial race goes in 1:07 2/5 the Santa anita brass will be shaking hands and nodding in approval that the track is just where they want it to be.
