Don't count your chickens. Stronach did a 180 on Oak Tree and I wouldn't put it past him to do it on this, if it doesn't help him to out-maneuver the state board.

of course he changed his mind. they can't run oak tree there and have enough time to redo the track before the winter meet begins. oak tree can run elsewhere. del mar said they were interested, i doubt that's changed.

They are re-doing the track after Oak Tree.

4 horse fields on dirt is a small step for man...cali racing as we know it is dead.

CHRB denied Oak Tree a license to run at SA for the Fall. It looks like Oak Tree will be at Hollywood.

I am just glad a major track is switching from plastic dirt to the real stuff again. It's been over 3 years since I really paid attention to the Santa Anita meet outside of the big race days.

Now if Arlington and Keeneland get rid of that shyt, racing would be heading back in the right direction.

Everyone will be paying attention and they better hope the surface they put in doesnt have horses being hauled off in the meat wagon every other day.

Does this mean Steve Woods is coming back and will the dirt be fast on the back side and quicksand coming home?

I dont think they will let Woods anywhere near the track. The reason that alot of the time that the backside was so fast and the front side was so slow is because the backside gets all the sun all day long and the grandstand blocks out the stretch by about mid afternoon.

No synthetic racing for the entire winter at SA, what the hell are all you guys gonna whine about now?
