Venue for May 26 - Santa Anita

[JolyB]

This Saturday is the beginning of Memorial Day weekend and a good time to keep it simple and straightforward. We will be going to (hopefully) sunny Southern California for the full card of racing at Santa Anita Park.

The card includes the Grade 1 Gold Cup, the Grade 1 Gamely and the Grade 2 Charles Wittingham. I believe that first post will be at 12:30 PM Pacific time. The condition book suggests a 9 race card (always thinking of you Plen and RQ). From the early news articles, it is possible that the fields for the major stakes races will be relatively small but quite competitive. Hopefully we will not see the massive scratches and boggy conditions that we encountered at Pimlico last weekend.
