Santa Anita moves its fall meet to Hollywood Park
INGLEWOOD, Calif. (AP) - Hollywood Park will host the Oak Tree meet traditionally run at Santa Anita beginning Sept. 30.
The Oak Tree Racing Association decided to move from its home since 1969 in Arcadia across town to Hollywood Park because of uncertainty about the condition of the main track at Santa Anita.
The 42nd Oak Tree meet will run through Oct. 31 in Inglewood. Hollywood Park's autumn meet will open Nov. 4.
The highlight of the Oak Tree meet is expected to be undefeated Zenyatta making her 19th career start at her home track.
The 1 1-16-mile race Oct. 2 has been restored to its original name, the $250,000 Lady's Secret Stakes. It was scheduled to be named the Zenyatta Stakes for the first time this year, but she returned to racing after her owners changed their mind about retiring the 6-year-old mare.
Zenyatta has already won the Grade 1 Lady's Secret twice.
