The Quiet Season

Aqueduct clubhouse seats
The Thanksgiving weekend stakes flurry over, racing enters its annual quiet season and I’m taking the chance to catch up on some reading, refresh my handicapping, and pursue a couple of other little projects. Things will be quiet around Railbird until Santa Anita opens, Aqueduct returns on New Year’s Day, and the first stirrings of Derby fever arrive with Gulfstream racing. Happy holidays, everyone …

Let’s all hope that Aqueduct returns on New Year’s Day!

I’m an incorrigible optimist. Right up until the ball drops at midnight on New Year’s Eve without a resolution to the franchise mess, I’m going to believe in an Aqueduct New Year’s Day card.

Meet you both there, post time, January 1.
Jessica: hope we see you back here posting at some point before that; I’ll miss your observations.
