Santa Anita should be embarrassed with the field size of the New Years eve card.
Fields of 4, 6, 7, 4, 4, 6, 5, 6 and
, the last being a bottom maiden claiming event. Six maidens, two optional claimers and one 32k claiming race with a 4 horse field. Racing at Santa Anita is circling the drain which considering Baffert and the CHTB may not be a bad idea.
