Ahh the last thread that spans now till the end of the year. 

I have no planned races to wager, my virtual stable has a handful of horses, so if any run, I'll take a look.

Keep an eye out in the forum as to anything deserving in harness, or t-bred that looks like an opportunity.  News too.

I need to get acquainted with Hong Kong racing, and again that extensive website (below) is a good start.  Most all the Sha Tin & Happy Valley races are early afternoon or late afternoon / early evening their time start times, they are 13 hours ahead of EST.  Most the racing I've seen there has start times like 1:00 AM, 5:00 AM EST.  I don't have to adjust my schedule now as I can watch replays, and all of their racing is broadcast in English, however once they go live I'll likely have to adjust my work / sleeping to try to fit in there.

If I, we do wager which is entirely possible while not planned for me - Good Luck!

Hello again! 

LOL! 

I'm following #6 Boyd in race 4 at CD today, Saturday, 11/29/25.  I received an email reminder so looked at the race briefly, only 4 horses, and I put a couple of wagers in.

Also it's the KYD future pools (Race 2), for runners and sires (Race 1), so I put wagers in there too.  For the KYD Future Wager it's only Race 2 today.  Race 1 (below) is just a re-post of the first pool.  I kind of lost my spirit for NA harness and T-bred racing so my $ commitment has dipped.

Boyd (Violence), Englishman (Maxfield), Napoleon Solo* (Liam's Map)*

* My preferred and value play

It's been about 3 weeks since I put a horse racing wager in so, I come out of hiatus.

Lost $69 on Oakland Park 8th yesterday.

Was a tough race to handicap.  2 yo's who never raced this time of the year previously, and the California based one wins, go figure.

Today Turfway Park has some decent stakes in the 6-9, I'm looking at the 6th-8th, Mohawk too, take a gander at their card.

Both tracks might get some snow, but accumulation may not be the case so I'm thinking, FAST possibly.  Both night tracks.

$50, not a dollar more  ....still on a hiatus, just desire a distraction!

Went a dollar more, got it back at the end, but 50 up 50 down.
