Southern California racetracks and horsemen’s organizations have yet to reach an agreement on 2016 racing dates, an issue scheduled to be discussed at Friday’s California Horse Racing Board meeting in Del Mar.
The racing calendar for 2016 could be finalized Friday. The options include a calendar largely unchanged from 2014 and 2015 or one that gives Los Alamitos three-week meetings in the spring and early summer and a two-week meeting in December. Under that plan, Los Alamitos would not race in September, with racing shifting to Santa Anita during that time.
