  • SARATOGA RACE COURSE (SARATOGA SPRINGS, NEW YORK) - THURSDAY JULY 29, 2010

    Santa Anita Park, which closed July 25 for training for the first time in two years, and which will host the Oak Tree at Santa Anita meeting beginning Sept. 29, began repair work on its synthetic main track on July 26 and embarked upon significant scheduled maintenance of its stable area as well. “For the most part, this is regularly scheduled maintenance,” said Santa Anita president George Haines. “Beyond that however, we are working toward mitigating our drainage issues with the main track. The Pro-Ride surface was very safe and it performed beautifully this past meet, except for the fact that we continue to have drainage issues through the (home) stretch and in particular, in the area near the finish line. “We’re in the process of repairing this area now. We’ve gone down to the base and we’re going to try and address the drainage problem as best we can. Again, the only time we had a problem with the main track this past meet was when we received significant rainfall and during those periods of rain, we were closed. We’re hoping this procedure will enhance the track’s ability to drain.” Haines also noted that Santa Anita, which opened in 1934, is a facility in continual need of regular maintenance.

    RACING NEWS: In preparation for Golden Gate's 2010 summer-fall meeting, which begins Aug. 25, scheduled maintenance was performed on the Tapeta Footings artificial surface July 24-25. Golden Gate Fields track superintendent Juan Meza, along with a team from Tapeta Footings, added fibers and wax to the mile main track oval. "We constantly strive to keep our racing surface in top condition for our horses, exercise riders, jockeys, trainers, owners, and the betting public," Robert Hartman, general manager of Golden Gate Fields said in a release. "A safe, consistent racetrack obviously benefits everyone involved in horse racing, and we offer just such a surface here at Golden Gate Fields." Hartman said the addition of the fibers and wax "rejuvenates" the Tapeta surface, which was installed at Golden Gate in the summer of 2007.
