The Stronach Group, which has been decidedly silent about how its closure of Golden Gate Fields will change California racing, laid out its plans to upgrade Santa Anita with a projected $30 million in improvements both in infrastructure and other services, some as soon as the opening of its winter season on Dec. 26. Among the initiatives the track announced were: More than $1 million to help relocate horses, trainers, jockeys and backstretch workers to Southern California, if they choose to do so.
