DEL MAR, Calif. - Hollywood Park has completed construction of the subsurface for its synthetic track that will be used for racing this fall and is awaiting arrival of the synthetic cushion material from England in the next week.
It is unclear exactly when the material will arrive in California or when the installation will be completed, allowing Hollywood Park to reopen its track for training.
According to the track's general manger, Eual Wyatt, the boat containing the synthetic material is in the Gulf of Mexico, and has yet to cross through the Panama Canal.
