Santa Anita to go synthetic this year

[The Bid]

Can only hope the stuff doesnt melt as well as it freezes.

With the heat in California and the jury still out on these new surfaces, I really wish they would reconsider for Santa Anita and wait a few years to find out how these synthetic tracks hold up at Del Mar and Hollywood.

I heard of zero issues at Hollywood with the cushion track, in fact the track got rave reviews.

That was also the fall meet.. It will be interesting to see how it holds up when it's 90+ degrees in early July

There are not that many 90 degree plus days in Inglewood , the other day it was 80 and it was fine.
