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.

so the Malibu must be on opening day then?

b/c I remember almost always playing that card the day after Christmas or close abouts.

Yeah, it is traditional for SA to open on the 26th with the Malibu. Seems like it is often one of the best races of the year.

I like The Big A. I make most of my money in the winter. I love Hollywood, Santa Anita and The Big A.

i was much the same.
I dont even want to talk about Hollypark now though.
Friday night racing at Hollypark during the summer used to be one of my favorite things in all of life.
now, I dont even know if I will bother to watch.

You are right about that. I will prob have to sit out Hoolywood this year. But I love that friday night racing.

been good spending Sunday evening talking with you guys.
thanks for the clarification on Santa Anita Blackthroat.
I was thinking it started before Christmas, but I guess that would not make sense.

talk to you guys later.
