My name is Sue Burger and I am writing an educational book about Hoover Dam and Gordon Kaufmann architect for the dam. In researching his other accomplishments I found a picture of the Santa Anita Clubhouse your website. Do you know who the photographer is as I would like permission to use it. Any assistance you can give me would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

Those mountains are the “San Gabriel” mountains, not Sierra Madre. Otherwise, very nice overview of Santa Anita. Bravo.

I was going to say, like Evan said – my Grandma was forced to ‘live’ there before they shipped her off to the internment camps.

Ive been meaning to visit the Race track as Ive only been to once for a concert. Its a beatuiful place and Im glad its Mr. Grove getting the parking lot then some cheap imitator. Looking forward to the new crowds who can bring new race fans in.

Should hit Taco Lita in Arcadia for the lilliest of non authentic tacos…

[...] Admire this glorious race track before it’s swallowed up by the Rick Caruso machine…or, enhanced, if you’re like most consumers and prefer Caruso to miserable old malls. [...]

Santa Anita is my favorite racetrack–forget Saratoga or Del Mar.

The Great Race Place indeed!

Great tour of one of my favorite venues. I wish there were more captions however… there’s so much to learn in these pictures. Thanks for posting them, and I’ll mention your site in my blog.
