Both the semifinals and finals will be held during the horse racing program on Santa Anita’s famed main track in front of its historic grandstand.

We're looking forward to a series of races in the Infield with a Corgi-centric vendor village, food trucks, and of course, horse racing. The semi-finals and finals will be on the main track for all racing fans to enjoy."
