I guess that would be a possibility. They could race one day a week at Santa Anita and have only turf racing on that day. That would certainly be workable.

Yes, I even read somewhere that this was a possible option.

Don't they share equipment? Are they going to ship everything back and forth every week?

Share equipment? like what? I doubt they share equipment, highly. They have as many horses stabled at Hollywood as at Santa Anita, it is only like 20 miles away I think

I am pretty sure there is only one tote board for the southern California tracks. Not sure what else may be shared.

I don't think so, all three are completely different, as far as I can remember.

Santa Anita has the numbers left to right
Hollywood has the numbers North to South
Del Mar is keeneland-esqe i think

Not sure on that. They are sharing some equipment at least:

Hollywood Park President Rick Baedeker said an LED display board has been purchased that will move from meet to meet.

Edit - Just found this but it is blocked at work so I can't get to it. Looks like the LED display board is the tote board.
