Supposedly, there is a bad spot at the 3/4's pole or something, that is what Ron Charles said in an interview in the DRF I think, not sure, that or Thoroughbred Times

thanks,
what a bizarre day if they run like this. i thought for sure they would cancel.

the chute is really bad, so they have to use 5 1/2

Why even bother running? Risking the horses is lunacy

[Rootdog1]

now they are saying no racing.......the back and forth is silly, just make a call to cancel until wed.

[ArlJim78]

they just keep digging the hole deeper, looking more and more foolish.

there is only one option, move the meet, right away, and replace the track.
that is going to happen anyway, so just get on with it.

Los Alamitos, the kinda great race place

Apparently, SA has made the request to the CHRB to move racing dates over to Hollywood if this can't be fixed fast and the CHRB is going to hold an emergency session on Tuesday. This comes after I heard straight from Shapiro's mouth that state law requires them to give a 10 day notice first because it's got to be a public hearing.
