I dont see Santa Anita opening at another track. I think they would just delay the opening and add the lost days where ever they can.

I have a feeling that Santa Anita and not Cushion Track is the root cause of the problems with the installation of the track. Santa Anita started this mess with letting their track forman ( Steve Woods ) go and I'm sure they wanted the surface to be faster than it was designed for. Just what I see looking in thru the closed gates.

You would think the CHRB would want some kind of scientific data, or proof these tracks did what they were supposed to do prior to installation. Instead they just wing it for 10 million a pop. They are getting what they deserve, complete idiots.

Thank God the rest of the world doesnt function as wreckless and foolishly as racing. It would be a miserable life.

Are you sure? So if our President was in charge of racing in CA everything would be perfect?

The game would be a lot better off with a Governing body. Whether Bush would be the right guy, we could all vote. Hed certanly be better than Barak Hussein Obama.
