Santa Anita Autumn Meet 2026: Race Day Guide
Find your autumn race day at Santa Anita
This page follows Santa Anita’s 2026 autumn meet in Arcadia, California. It separates the season’s run of dates from the individual races on each card, making it easier to find a particular afternoon or a horse’s next appearance. Start with a race day, then choose the race number or named contest.
A track’s event calendar can also include entertainment and visitor activities. Those listings do not necessarily mean live horse racing is taking place. Use the racing calendar and dated racecard together before planning your trip. A missing racecard here does not, by itself, mean the day has been cancelled.
Read the entries before the horses go to post
A racecard identifies each race’s order and scheduled start. Where available, the detail page adds the distance, surface, runners and conditions. Compare those details before treating two similarly named races as the same event, especially if you are looking back at an earlier season or another Santa Anita meet.
Entries can change before the start. Scratches remove horses from the field, and a published post time remains a scheduled time until racing takes place. Check the official race-day information close to the off. The next-race list is useful for timing your viewing, but it should not be read as confirmation that horses are already racing.
Watch from home or plan a visit to Arcadia
Santa Anita uses Pacific Time. Select your own time zone to compare race starts with your evening plans; the card keeps its California date even if a race falls after midnight where you live. At the track, distinguish admission and gates information from the start of the first race.
For viewing, match the race to a published broadcast window and follow the official provider’s access instructions. Afterward, choose the same date and race number for results or a replay. The official racing information and Santa Anita event calendar are useful next stops for race-day changes and attendance plans.
Santa Anita Autumn Meet 2026: Frequently Asked Questions
Does this page cover all Santa Anita racing in 2026?
It covers the autumn edition. Use the Santa Anita track page to find other meets and dates at the same racecourse.
How do I find a particular day’s races?
Look under Published Race Days and open the day’s races. Match the date and race number before opening an individual race detail page.
Are all entered horses guaranteed to start?
No. A horse may be scratched before the race. Check the official changes alongside the entries when following a particular runner.
Where can I watch Santa Anita’s autumn races?
Use the announced viewing options when listed and check the provider’s current access terms. Race detail pages offer a replay when one is available for that specific race.
