By CBSLA Staff December 26, 2020 ARCADIA (CBSLA) – Santa Anita Park is scheduled to begin its winter/spring meeting Saturday with a 10 percent increase to its daily overnight purse distribution, a bonus plan to attract out-of-state horses, and a new turf course chute. It will be held without fans in attendance because of the coronavirus pandemic, just like other meetings in California since the resumption of racing May 15 following a nearly two-month interruption because of the coronavirus pandemic. The increase will bring the average daily purse money available to horsemen to more than $533,000, totaling more than $43 million for the upcoming season, which is set to run through June 20.
