Nearby Santa Anita, community called Duarte, horses being evacuated along with the people.

And if you look closely you'll see the work started as planned on the turf course today!

Wow! Duarte is a few miles east of Arcadia, but there's a small community north of it called Bradbury with many horse properties. Kristin Mulhall lives up there last I heard.

Quite a few horse properties up in those hills above Santa Anita, including some that provide lay up and boarding services for Thoroughbreds from the track.

Fingers crossed - they said it moving into the forest away from homes and ranches - keeping a close eye out.

I used to live in El Monte, which isn't too far away.

Very scary time out here now - the smoke is everywhere - not sure they will race Thursday and if it does not get better = hope they don't

Not a high % contained even now - we are cooling off but now the wind is rising...
