A mini Turf meet at Santa Anita

[JustRalph]

from an article I read on Equidaily

"In the meantime, a short schedule of all-turf cards is in the works.

"Some sort of a short meet on the grass, and then you'd miss a few days, I suppose," Mandella said.

"It would kind of help fill in the gap. You can fill a lot of grass races. You can probably fill those faster than dirt of any kind." "


Anybody looking forward to an all grass ten day meet at Santa Anita?

I was hoping something like an all turf card might come up.

Now, with my luck, it'll be when I'm engaged with work related projects. Oh well.

This is a great idea, anyway. All turf for short bursts, moving around between tracks. Hell, even training on turf. A thoroughbred could ALMOST stand an occasional race on --- horrors ! :eek: --- DIRT with a schedule like that.

Who knows, perhaps we'll get another Cigar out of this mini turf festival.
