As for Santa Anita.....first of all, those stupid Jumbotrons make it impossible to watch races. They are an absolute nightmare. No wonder I don't bother with those races ( aside from the indecipherable surface ). Secondly, the head on jumped from late on the backstretch to the stretch. What's up with that?
The trouble was Baze's fault but frankly a little too obvious for me. He finished where he figured to. The trouble might have been mitigated by a semi-suck up trip.

The problem out in CALI is that they don't show the bacstretch in the headons of their races (except DMR, I believe). Which is an INCREDIBLE JOKE. I can't believe they're following the Meadowlands (or the other way around) in doing this. At this point in time, I believe that KEE is mountains above all the others when it comes to their video, and CRC and CD are right behind. Of course, we can't get the headons of those races.
Morever, either they have the shortest stretches in the planet out in CALI or the headons of the stretch runs are sped up, cause they just don't jibe with the pan shot of the race.
As for America's Friend, I don't need next time as I bet her today. And, with all due respect, if Baze doesn't needlessly get shuffled back going into the turn, then take forever to get outside, I think he wins the race. This is harder to see in the headon, unfortunately, than it is on the pan shot.
