This is the Rainy Season in California, you know. (The others are the Dry Season and the Fire Season. There are also a couple of other short incursions, like the June Gloom.) It is tropical moisture, coming off the ocean from the southwest and the high mountains around the basin keep it from getting over to Arizona, most of the time. I remember going to SA in the winter and seeing a muddy track, off the turf. The Rainy Season generally lasts from some time in November to sometime in February or March.

Of course, the drainage system they put in with the Cushion track a couple of years back is apparently so bad that any decent rain puts the surface under water. They are going to have to tear it up and start from scratch. Stronach should have stuck to breeding, at which he is good; his management of two of the best tracks in the country has fallen short in so many areas.

The snow storm did not reach the NYC area. It's amazing how Santa Anita can't handle rain after two surface switches. Hopefully they put in a solid base and go back to dirt.
