Pretty stupid if you ask me. I guess these people don't get it. If there is one breakdown, and if that breakdown is fatal, SA racing will be shut down- This is going to be a spectacle on the nightly news with protestors and other crazies-- it won't be pretty. They could have avoided this spectacle but they chose not to.

Good luck to all at Santa Anita for a safe and successful Breeders' Cup.

I was 90 percent sure they would leave it at SA and I am proud that the BC board approved it.

Running away now after the track is fixed would have sealed the Fate on SA.

The track is fixed as long as they do not experience the monsoon rains they had earlier in the year. This is the right decision, unfortunately a breakdown may happen but not holding the BC would be worse

My concern is that having the BC at SA will result in a media frenzy: I expect NBC and other channels to talk endlessly about the 30 horse deaths; that the focus won't be on the great racing for two days. There will be lots of protesters including PETA of course. If there is one fatal breakdown, well I don't even want to think about that.
