I'd relish a brief stretch of no racing, wouldn't feel bad about engaging in more wholesome activity and would indeed feel refreshed, just like a horse would. Boxing Day's a banner date for most tracks, all that pent up betting energy denied an outlet for even a few days...Alpha Linknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8560898823512627114.post-16408481955523692492009-10-06T22:56:20.986-04:002009-10-06T22:56:20.986-04:00No, I cant, nor can the horses.No, I cant, nor can the horses.Pull the Pockethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05082676049275768769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8560898823512627114.post-6256083093823465982009-10-06T22:50:51.808-04:002009-10-06T22:50:51.808-04:00Does someone have a ring through your noses pullin...Does someone have a ring through your noses pulling you into the 'Hawk with it?

You need breaks otherwise it is just a blur for handicappers. I don't care who the handicapper is, they would appreciate some time to recharge their batteries. And for fans, racing just is there, nothing special. <br /><br />I live in the NYC area and I never visited the Statue of Liberty.

Now, have something special come to the area for just two weeks, I'll make a point of getting there.<br /><br />This is whay is happening to racing. It is always there. There is no sense of urgency to get there. Then, look at Del Mar, Saratoga and other short meets; the people come.That Blog Guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15487597769210721585noreply@blogger.com
