The April 21 program will mark the resumption of racing after a brief hiatus of the winter-spring meeting, which began on Dec. 26 and runs through June 18. The season runs through April 9 before a break on the race week of April 14-16 to give the turf course and human and equine participants a brief rest.

Santa Anita has canceled seven days of racing this year because of higher-than-normal rainfall, and held two makeup days in January and earlier this month.
