Early venue thoughts
Heckfire if Santa Anita is opening up, it will be nice change to go to the west coast. There's two 3YO non-graded stakes . . . fillies and colts (150k each) and being for 3YO's, ya never know who might pop up as a contender for the Derby in September.
Contender in September . . . the poetry, sometimes is just way to easy.  Thoughts?

Churchill Downs is scheduled to run on the 16th if their website is correct.

If Santa Anita resumes racing, it would provide a wonderful change of pace. Right now, I think that IF is the operative word. The most recent announcements from SA indicate that they would like to resume racing this Friday, with entries to be taken on Tuesday, but all of this is contingent upon receiving approval from the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health to resume racing.
Hopefully there will be more definitive information within the next 48 hours. I'm certain that discussions are continuing and that SA will play every card at its disposal to meet the County's objections or find a way to override them. Whether that is enough remains to be seen. If that doesn't pan out, Churchill Downs might be a viable alternative. They have received the necessary approvals to resume racing this Saturday at 1:00 PM. Clearly horse racing has more political clout in Kentucky than in Southern California.

Yes, a few days will tell us more. They had stakes on Bloodhorse for Saturday at SA but nothing for CD as of today. They do show 5 stakes at CD for the 23rd.

And there's always Charles Town. I'm sure Cal and Ruff can find us some music to go with West Virginia
