Staying at Santa Anita

Horrible decision in my opinion. If anything happens, I mean anything, it could knock this industry off its feet.

The event already moves from one venue to the another over the years. It's not a logistical problem, Churchill could have handled it and avoided the certain and well deserved scrutiny.

Yeah, no good can come of keeping it there. But regardless of where it's held, if a horse breaks down during the BC it's going to be terrible for racing.

Chaps horse racing in the States has been dead for sometime….if a horse breaks down at Santa Anita the animal activist will go crazy, but they don't bet so fuck 'em. One bit of advice to the BC is don't have it at SA 7 times in 12 years :evil:

Well, at some point Congress will get involved.

But to your point, I've never heard anyone who had a bet down on a horse beg the jock to stop whipping.
