If the track doesn't drain properly when they do these tests, I would think they would have to reconsider. I would think that alot will depend on what advice Ian Pierce gives them. He is supposed to supervise the tests.

Hollywood held up very well to a unusually wet winter, I have no clue why santa anita had so many problems if it was the same surface.
