Preparations are underway at Santa Anita Park in Arcadia (north of LA near Pasadena) for shooting. Santa Anita will be standing in for a dog track in Florida. As we previously stated. All the alterations have been inside the park since there seems to be no need for exterior shots.
The grandstand building is like an island surrounded by miles of surface parking lots, and the parking lots are surrounded by tall chain link AND thick hedges. Base camp is inside one the many secure lots. The trailers are all lined up and it is a sea of activity.
The movie is bonded to have its principal photography completed by midnight June 30th. That means the shooting must be complete or there could be stiff penalties to follow.. With the upcoming date for the incertain actors strike looming. They must have the film complete by then.
