Santa Anita Park has canceled live racing for Saturday, Jan. 3 as the latest in a series of powerful storms is set to drop more rain on the Southern California area throughout the afternoon, the track said in a press release early on Saturday.
A decision for Sunday's racing program will be made early in the morning to evaluate the most up-to-date forecast for the saturated Southland. A makeup live racing day will be added Thursday, Jan. 15. This is in addition to the previously announced addition of live racing on Thursday, Jan. 8 to the schedule.
The 48-hour postponement of Santa Anita's Opening Day races did not dampen the spirits of fans as the largest crowd in nine years showed up for the start of the season. The 41,962 attendance was also the most for a Sunday opener since 1999.
