Santa Anita Going to 3 Day Race Week

[Rupert Pupkin]

I just got an e-mail from National Turf saying that Santa Anita is going to a three-day race week Friday, Saturday, Sunday starting this week. I'm not sure if this is old news or not.

Santa Anita Cancels Five Thursday Cards, Raises Non-Stakes Purses $10,000

"Santa Anita Park has been forced to reduce its racing schedule over the next five weeks due to a lack of race-ready horses on the grounds, reports drf.com. The Stronach Group-owned facility will cancel the next five Thursday programs, racing Friday through Sunday until Memorial Day."

Someone turn out the lights when you are done... Goodbye to California racing.

Did I see a 3 horse field at GG yesterday?

Isn’t the raise in non-stakes purses just the purse money from the 3 week Santa Anita was closed, if so, then 10k is good, bad, to little, or just better than what was originally offered?

Cali has had good horses the last few years. 5 of the last 7 derby winners were Cali based.
