I probably will still listen to ATRAB though because I have to get my money for my radio subscripton.

man,
how can you not get pumped for inner track Aqueduct.
nothing better than playing the inner track like the day before Christmas when all your friends and family are shopping, going to Church, and being all "christmasy".

and you are stuck inside your house in front of your computer with TVG on one television in the bedroom and HRTV on the other television in the den.

best time of the year.

Aqueduct hasn't been open the day before Christmas in quite a few years....unfortunately.

you know what i mean though.
it runs during the holidays.
maybe its like the 23rd or somethng, but the point is that Aqueduct always seems to be there for us.
same with Santa Anita.
when all anyone wants to talk about is the season of giving and sharing and all that holiday propaganda, Aqueduct is running.
I can just watch and wager on it and its an excuse for all my family to leave me alone b/c its something they dont get.

I know, and I agree, and was just joking about how the last few years they have taken a full week off around Christmas ( I think it was 9 full days last year ) and it is definitely the longest week of the year for me.

damn,
you are right.
they were off for a full week last year.
santa anita wasnt were they?
I remember playing that and maybe Calder right around Christmas.

thats the great thing about our game, b/c of the wagering aspect of it, there will almost always be some track running somewhere, at all times.

Santa Anita doesn't start until the day after Christmas ( it may have been the 27th this past year ). But, there is always Calder.

No doubt, racing is really a good friend in the winter. I mean, it's always a good friend but something about getting up late on a cold day in February, laying in bed, and betting the races.
