When the CHRB asked Santa Anita to close Sunday, it did suggest the track remain open for training. If training were not available to the near 2,000 horses at Santa Anita, who cannot be left in their stalls every day without exercise, there would be a crisis. Del Mar, which is the next major long-term circuit for horses in Southern California, will not have its track available for training until July 11. The facility is owned by the state, which holds other events at the Fairgrounds.
