Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted December 21, 2019 Journalists Share Posted December 21, 2019 The California Horse Racing Board approved a new Inclement Weather Policy, which will be implemented at Santa Anita beginning on opening day, Dec. 26. The new policy is to determine if the track is deemed safe for racing and training during or just after a weather event. Some of the policy’s main points are: • It addresses severe or harsh weather conditions including extreme temperatures, high winds, lightning, and precipitation. • Decisions to alter racing or training will be made in coordination with the track superintendent, racetrack management, the Jockeys Guild, and the CHRB safety steward, with notification to the TOC and CTT. • Horses will not be permitted to train on sealed tracks. • Any decision to race on a sealed or floated track will be based on certification by the track superintendent and unanimous consent of the track general manager, Jockeys Guild representative, and Safety Steward that the track surface is safe and racing will not jeopardize the safe conduct of racing or training on subsequent days.
