It didn't say anything about running at Santa anita this winter.

You really think the track is terrible? How about Del Mar and Arlington , have you even been out to see what the track is like now after they revamped it this summer . For the 5 days I was there working horses on it I thought it was a great improvement, it feels softer , yet not "cuppy" and loose it even seems to be a diffirent color which means to me that they have added something to the texture of the surface.
Im all for Polytrack and the surfaces if it makes it kinder on the horses. My biggest comcern with the polytrack and such is that because its kinder that trainers are going to think they can train harder over it, and believe me they will if they think they can, and I just dont get it .
