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)*

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.

Four days away until the end of the year, and very likely this will be the last day I'll wager for 2025.  For the most part I abstained, and really enjoyed my hiatus.  Popped in a dozen days or so, I think I won on two of those days.

Santa Anita, looks FAST & FIRM.  First race of the eleven races starts at 2:00PM EST.  Six of those races are stakes races.

I'm going to go @$200 today on 6 of the 11 races.  One MDN special weight (the 2nd) and five stakes (6th, 8th-11th)

Wagers will posted before the races tomorrow - *To the racing gods* Let's make this one a winner, and end the year on that note - Good Luck!! 

(231pm) Race 2 - 2,7 / all
(437pm) Race 6 - 1,6 / all
(543pm) Race 8 - 3,9 / all
(616pm) Race 9 - 2,7,11 / all

I'll take my walk of shame like a man from today at SA, pathetic.

2026, I will not be the same anything here...and will leave the year a winner, I'll bet on it - any takers?
