If so, that seems like a headache for the trainers.

That would be a nightmare. It is a 2 lane highway after the 95 merge that is backed up for beach traffic.

I remember overhearing a very small time trainer making a call to someone saying how they got stuck in traffic for 90 minutes and made it 5 minutes prior to the deadline for the horses lasix. It was 90 degrees that day and high humidity. That, to me, is animal cruelty.
