More than 60 horses worked out over Santa Antia's main track Tuesday morning as the Arcadia racetrack prepared for four full days of racing -- Thursday though Sunday -- before workers begin to install the new Pro-Ride materials that hopefully will rectify the Cushion Track's drainage problem.

Santa Anita hopes to have the new materials from Pro-Ride mixed into its Cushion Track by late next week, a process they expect will solve the drainage problems that have plauged the racetrack and caused a record number of cancellations this month.
