On the same parking lot where once stood the seas of limousines, jaloppies and just average cars of thousands of racing fans, now is the miniature city of frame houses and barracks at Santa Anita Race Track where 3200 Japanese evacuees moved in on April 3, 1942. In the foreground is the track's saddling paddock where the horses paraded just before their races.
