California Horse Racing Board receives 'transmittal' from Santa Anita owner

The California Horse Racing Board has sought a business plan from the company that runs Santa Anita, MI Developments, and a spokesman for the board, Mike Marten, said Wednesday that the "board received a transmittal" before Tuesday's deadline.

MI Developments had asked for an extension to the original July 1 deadline to submit a business plan, and it was granted.

Marten said he was not authorized to discuss the contents of the transmittal.
