CHRB votes unanimously to give Pleasanton racing dates at the end of the year despite a letter from Santa Anita threatening to close or sell.
In a stunning rebuke of Santa Anita’s threatening letter to close or sell the track, the California Horse Racing Board voted to grant racing dates for a meeting at Pleasanton in Northern California at the end of this year. Six commissioners were present to vote on Thursday to grant the dates to Golden State Racing, which is essentially the same group that runs the fair circuit. The meet will last 10 weeks from Oct. 19 to Dec. 15.
” But it was commissioner Damascus Castellanos who offered the most stinging assessment of Santa Anita’s strategy. “The letter bothers me,” Castellanos said. “I’m not too kind about bullies but if that’s the way you want it to seem then that’s the way it is. … You are trying to put the burden on the CHRB and that’s not our responsibility. We don’t close tracks. … But it’s sad to say with a letter like that, it comes across if you don’t do it my way, I’m going to take my ball and leave.
