Scioto has a really nice card to watch and wager after Hambo day and the Spa during the afternoon.

You're right JT, the following race at Scioto I'm recognizing BATTLE HILL & SCRAPPYS LOVE in their stakes trot race.  With their OPEN (CHARLIE MAY) they have 7/16 quality races.

This is the best time of year for racing.

This is the best time of year for racing.

It's literally the Christmas (or Hanukah) of racing from Spring through the Breeders Cup, with right now being the best for Standardbred & the SPA!   

Because at that actual aforementioned time of the year, it's like southern California for t-breds, and snowy Monticello, Mohawk and cancellations galore everywhere.  Yuk.

One race call was in a fucking blizzard, and the caller said..."ahhhh...ahhhh...a hhhh, your guess is as good as mine."

LOL! it's a great time for us bettors. I've been to Monti on a snowy day. Beautiful there. But so very chilly. LOL!
