Asia-inspired night market attracts throngs of food lovers

Santa Anita Racetrack, a well-known landmark in southern California, was ablaze with lights, music and plenty of Asian grub.

Shaded by nodding palm trees and nestled at the foot of the stunning San Gabriel Mountains, Santa Anita is considered by many to be the most beautiful racetrack in the United States and has hosted many of the most prestigious races in the country.

But last weekend, instead of hosting seven furlong races and eager punters, it served a different kind of fare under the theme of Asian Cuisine.
