Santa Anita’s main track was closed for training for the second
consecutive day on Sunday, with the likelihood of further days of
cancellations early in the week because of continued wet weather, track
president George Haines said.
From early Friday to midday Sunday, the track had sustained
four inches of rain, with at least three inches, and possibly more,
expected from Pacific storms through Wednesday, he said.
“It’s been raining steadily,” Haines said. “It looks we’ll be
getting more. We’ll have to see how the weather plays out, but more than
likely it will be closed.
“We’ll have rain through Wednesday and hopefully we’ll get a break on Thursday and Friday. It’s iffy after that.”
According to weather.com, there is no rain forecast from
Thursday through Saturday in Southern California, with a chance of rain
on Dec. 26.
