is this a good source? Maybe the track is just slow to communicate it out...

Running only 5 1/2 Furlong races and having at least one match race would have been a disgrace.

What an unfortunate situation.

I would have bet those races. The odds of picking the winner would significantly increase

Supposedly the CHRB is meeting Tuesday to discuss Hollywood as an option. They need to move ASAP and have Thurs card there.

Perhaps they can get SA back up and running for the last 2 months of the meet but its a complete disaster now and they may have made the situation worse this weekend trying to fix it.

The track looked terrible on HRTV, however Millie Ball and Stevens still differ to the bad weather. Why isnt the track being discussed? They brought up 2 times in the last 10 years when SO Cal cancelled racing, once in 05, and once back in the 90s.

BTW it is a disgrace. The track is a disgrace, the propaganda is a disgrace, and the lies are a disgrace. Why doesnt the CHRB step up and apologize to the trainers, owners, and fans. The CHRB will deflect to Cushion Track, but Cushion track was one of many options. This issue lies directly on Shapiro, and the CHRB

There is no fixing it unless they rip the base out they are so dumb its incredible

They cancelled a whole meet of turf racing at HOL a few years back. Guess they forgot about that.
