(Reuters) - The owners of the famed Santa Anita Park racing track said they had taken measures to improve horse safety following the death of two more animals last weekend that prompted California Gov. Gavin Newsom to call for a halt to racing.
The owners, the Stronach Group, also reiterated that racing would continue at the park's Arcadia track until the end of the current season on June 23, despite the call from Newsom and the California Horse Racing Board (CHRB) to suspend the races.
