With training on the main track remaining limited to joggers Saturday morning at Santa Anita due to the rainstorms during the week, the synthetic training track saw 76 horses record timed workouts over the course.
Most notable on the list was SW & GSP Miss Lizzy (Classic Empire), who worked five panels in 1:00.80 (11/32), and who was one of nine workers for trainer Doug O'Neill. The filly was most recently seen running fourth in the GIII Las Cienegas Stakes Jan. 19 and who had claimed her first stakes victory last May in the local Listed Mizdirection Stakes.
The continuation comes after track officials estimated that around 2 1/4 inches of rain fell in the last week, far exceeding forecasts, and left the main track as well as the training track too wet for works on both Wednesday and Friday. The main track remained closed for workers Friday as mandated by the California Horse Racing Board's inclement weather policy but full training is expected to resume on Sunday.
