Default The end of the 7 day marathon stretch

This has been grueling and fun. The major tracks have all been racing since last Wednesday and today will be day 7. This is actually a bigger rarity than many realize. Memorial day is always observed on a Monday as are many of the other non religious holidays. Thanksgiving is on a Thursday and Christmas is a day when many tracks close.
July 4th is the only holiday that racetracks always want to be open continuously that "floats". Only in years where July 4th falls on a Tuesday do we get treated to a 7 day continuous run of racing from the major tracks. Hope everyone enjoyed it because the next time July 4th falls on a Tuesday is 2017. So basically its going to be another 11 years before we get 7 straight days of racing at major tracks.
