"We kept telling him we're here to talk about the track and you can't shut him up about free enterprise," said Headley, a longtime critic of synthetics. "He thinks he'll be able to change everything so he can race any time he wants, against Del Mar, Hollywood Park or Pomona.

"We told him we weren't there to discuss free enterprise, that's not our decision because we're the track committee, but he still kept going on and on about it."

"Free enterprise, free enterprise, free enterprise," Headley said. "And he's never going to get it. Of course, there won't be a horse left (in California) by that time.

"He also said if he wanted to change it (track), he has the resources to do it, but he's not going to do it."
Headley reminds me of that guy from the movie Grumpy Old Men.

Doesn't he realize that synthetic tracks save horse legs from breaking by the millions!

I am REALLY hoping it rains on March 12-13.

WTF is Santa Anita going to do if they have cancel Zenyatta's comebacker?

The domino effect will be something to watch.
