Im sure SA and the CHRB didnt want to cancel racing dates, and they certainly dont want to admit they made a mistake. The track is under water today, and who knows what the standing water will do to further degrade the integrity of the surface. Answer......NOBODY. Nobody knows because nobody did any testing, they just installed it.

Hollywood's track is only a problem for gamblers trying to make money betting.When you have a fair racetrack it favors the best horse.That's why Sadler and Mitchell went nuts with winners at that meet.They had the "best prepared" horses.Those types of horses will get up on a fair track.Anita had that from last Friday until this last Thursday.Then,yesterday,you started to get horses breaking 1st from the gate(regardless of form) start to stick around.For instance,Flores on the grey in the last race.
