Santa Anita President Ron Charles said yesterday that there has not yet been a decision made as to the future of the trackís winter/spring meeting. The Arcadia oval was back in action yesterday, and racing will be held as scheduled through Monday, but Charles said plans beyond that are ìday-to-day.î He added, ìWe know that the industry wants answers. Believe me, we do too. But we have to be sure we take the time necessary to make the right decision on this. The minute we know weíve got a solid plan for the rest of the meet, we will announce it. At the request of numerous horsemen, owners, trainers and jockeys, we are continuing to lab test our current synthetic material in order to see if there is anything we can do that would enable it to drain as it was designed to.î
