Ordinarily there would have been 50,000 people swarming around the huge race track. The San Marcos Handicap, a tuneup for the Charles H. Strub Stakes the following week, would have been run. Instead, beautiful Santa Anita Park was ghost-like. Its 400 acres of expensive real estate were all but deserted.

Perhaps 40 cars dotted parking space that can handle 30,000. Nothing could be emptier than a shut-down race plant. For 22 racing days Santa Anita had been dark. The same for Bay Meadows at San Mateo. Both were scheduled to have opened Dec.
