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.

Interesting, maybe it is the big screen or something, I don't know. It is a joke out there. You have tracks like Tampa Bay that continue their success but tracks like Gulfstream and Santa Anita that have no idea what is going on.

In No. Cal - There's been a reported 17 horses who either "broke down" were "vanned off" or "walked off" over a span of 13 days - In So. Cal, an entire weekend of racing at the great Santa Anita winter meet has been lossed.

It's just a shame Fairplex doesn't have a turf course I guess.

TID, GG reports they have had great results with the new Crapeta

Now that would be tight turns.

It will be interesting to see how this thing shakes out. In a month the people in SoCal could be complaining about a drought again. So we never know...

But!

Just say they get one of these storms... say... I don't know... around the last weekend in October next year. They better get the sh*t figured out quick, because the Breeders Cup is less than a year away. I wonder if the Breeeders Cup people are watching closely, and thinking of contingencies...
