Keep ur head up Walk!! If theres a good time of year to have a depleted pony roll, i would say this is it. None of the big days "cant miss cos im horse racing degenerate days" arent until after xmas. Boxing day santa anita is 1 thats the nearest & maybe old saint nick will help u for that day
also ive got mixed emotions on gulfstream opening so early, there beggin for the calder horses to come run until all the big dogs arrive after xmas, & i was under the influence that they were starting earlier & closing earlier cos they felt like the racing product was sub par towards the end of the meet when all the big outfits were migrating north b4 the meet ended. Well it seams they have the same issue, just now its at the beginning of the meet. Perhaps a strong finish to the meet is better than a strong start & a lackluster ending they experienced in years past. Even though the horses arent as good there rite now, there still firing 600k-1.2m a race so guess it doesnt really matter. Happy holidays to u walk. Cheerio
