The problem with your theory... is that Stronach
"felt the need to make a change" as soon as he took over at SA, ages ago. His then
need was to make money by selling-off some of the land. (
anything that happened since was just molding data and opportunity to fit the original narrative)
The racing accident that doomed the downhill sprints for the final time had far more to do with traffic than with the dirt cross-over, and said incident was merely used inappropriately to put the final nail into the coffin of the downhill sprints.
These fools have bungled Santa Anita into a nearly unrecognizable mess from day one.
