Never really got going after '08 Tampa, and with some new ventures in ownership, my allotted horsey money was really scaled back quite a bit... Decent Toga, but overall a disappointing 2008 wager-wise.
Learned it truly is a game of involvement and it difficult to go back to tracks that you haven't followed due to (ADW issues) and replicate success....
Excited for '09... It's easy to dwell on the negatives (of which there are many) but the ADW resolution in FL and CA, steroid consistency among the major circuits, and the fact that the industry on many fronts is at least starting to get it (ie. BC's reversal to fund stakes). Take the positives we have gleaned from the economic downturn, LISTEN to the voices of reason that have been there before (Wish John Nerud was President!
) an move our game forward...It is an exciting time to be apart of this, and hope 2009 brings growth and success to our game
