Workers rally at the Arcadia track on the eve of closing weekend, reminding critics that 3,000 are employed on the backstretch
If Santa Anita is forced to shut down permanently over the deaths of 29 horses, thousands of employees could lose their jobs and some may end up homeless, the racetrack’s workers warned at a rally Thursday afternoon.
Employees held signs declaring their love for horses, while speakers described the potentially catastrophic impact a closure could have on the industry’s human counterparts.
