Darrell Vienna, who is most often the smartest guy in the room, VERY critical.. Santa Anita officials say that the power-harrowing should straighten things out, but this is not a good sign so early in the meet.

SoCal Trainers Knock Pro-Ride Surface
by Lenny Shulman
http://news.bloodhorse.com/article/48696.htm

About 40 Southern California-based trainers met with Pro-Ride head Ian Pearse Jan. 7 at Santa Anita Park to voice their concerns over the condition of Santa Anita’s synthetic racing surface, which Pearse installed a year ago.

Unlike meetings last year, where a majority of trainers defended the installation of synthetic surfaces at the state’s racetracks, the vast number of trainers who spoke at Santa Anita this time expressed disappointment with the performance and condition of Pearse’s Pro-Ride surface. Pearse added materials to the Cushion Track synthetic surface that failed to drain after heavy rains early in 2008.
