If it wasn't such a big day, they probably wouldn't run. But considering that they have paid for the televison time and it's such a big day for Magna, they will do everything they can to run. They are going to be working on the track all night. I think there is better than a 50% chance that they will run. I can't even imagine how fast the track will be. In Summation ran 6 furlongs in 1:06 3/5 on Monday. The track could not have been any faster. Now they are talking about scraping the top two inches off the track. That means they will be two inches closer to the asphalt. I don't know how it could possibly be safe to run on that track. Maybe they will break 1:06 tomorrow for 6 furlongs. What a joke.
I am hoping that they cancel the races tomorrow and postpone those four Sunshine Million races until next week. But Magna is so gung-ho on running tomorrow no matter what, that I think there is a good chance that they will run. For anyone that has a horse in the million dollar race, it's a tough decision whether to run or to scratch. It's only once a year that you can run in a restricted race for a million dollar purse. But on the other hand, who wants to take the chance of getting their horse hurt running on that asphalt. |

Arcadia area looks clear right now. Heavy rain/stroms to the north. Hopefully it holds off. Let's just hope the track is safe.

It didn't rain at all last night, but that isn't saying much for a track that needs three days to dry out after a some rain. The sun has not been out much all week so I imagin the Turf coarse will be yeilding at best.
Santa Anita is in a no win situation today if they run. If one horse breaks down they have made the wrong choice. |

Would they cancel if a horse breaks down?
