Santa Anita president Ron Charles indicated that the 2008-2009 Breeders' Cup host will resurface the track with 100% Pro-Ride material after spending the majority of their 2007-2008 winter meet with a blend of Cushion Track and Pro-Ride.

Despite the fact that Pro Ride helped Santa Anita get back on track this winter, this decision seems to be an even bigger question mark as there isn't a single track in the country using this surface as a regular race surface. Tapeta is in place and very successful. I think I'll be the Breeders' Cup turf races and stand pat elsewhere.
Heck no! I'll bet 'em all!
But I do know where you're coming from...
I think that the Breeders Cup should extend the event there at Santa Anita until at least 2015 based on this decision.
Ha.
At least the Breeders' Cup is consistent. Not only are they doing their best to alienate fans by pricing tickets in the stratosphere but they've now fully decided to alienate horsemen who have made it clear they don't want to run on a synthetic surface.
That's not even mentioning the fact that they're now having the event at Santa Anita for two years. Brilliant.
