Maybe this (http://www.santaanita.com/content/track-records) will help. Current surface is at the bottom.

Post #6 of this thread has run ups and corresponding distances. Run up distances may not be accurate anymore.

Actually anything over 10F on the main track is 3 turns (or more).

Any races longer than 9F on the turf are two+ turns with a sweeping left (downhill chute) from the gate to the main turf course and the 6 1/2 races have a dogleg right then the sweeping left before connecting to the main part of the turf course. 14F races start at beginning of the big sweeping turn right at bottom of the dogleg.

Here's the layout, the sprints start at the very top of the chute and the 9F races at the outside edge of the main track:
