INGLEWOOD, Calif. - The Sunday program at Hollywood Park was canceled following the second race after jockeys deemed the course unsafe because of persistent rain through the day.
Jockey Mike Smith, who was among a group of riders who inspected the course after the second race, said there was an area on the backstretch, where the chute joined the main track at the six-furlong pole, concerned the riders.
“Coming out of the chute, it was just too deep,” Smith said.
