my front tire slid on a thick patch of fresh grass clippings some careless homeowner had blown straight into the street.

Must've been a big patch of clippings to take up the whole lane. You couldn't go around them?

They never seemed to notice our school uniforms at the one in Houma. As long as we were paying...

is there a good reason racing couldn’t just be FRI/SAT/SUN and holidays?

---

I'd imagine it would be too many races per day. :dunno:

They average 10/day. I guess they don't have time for more than that.

Thanksgiving weekend is pretty big on the attendance and betting action.

Thats tFGs opening weekend. I would hope they have a crowd. If not, they're in worse shape than thought. Go to the tracks on regular race days (weekdays, no stakes races or promotions) and the crowds are very small.

"Delaying the implementation of the SB244 amendment by 26 months only extends the opportunity for plaintiffs' attorneys to exploit the current system," Mike Phillips, Chevron's lead trial attorney, told The Center Square. "This extended timeline incentivizes a last-minute rush of questionable legacy lawsuits…before the new reforms take effect on September 1, 2027."

---

so essentially these reforms amount to "free beer next Tuesday" because it will take 2 years to implement them. And in that two years, trial attorneys can file as many suits as they like to try and get in on the action. Not to mention that some other legislative act could negate any positive effects of this legislation. Sounds like the income tax cut we were promised when the state sales tax was raised to the highest in the nation.

I don't think it will exist in 20-30 years, unless its at bush tracks. You don't have enough interest in it by the younger generations to keep it sustained. And the perception that its a cruel sport (pushed by the bunny huggers) will further its undoing. Add to that that the track owners will see more value in the real estate (as something other than a track) and the potential for more regulation of equine welfare, and I dont see how it will still exist in its current form.

well then write a check. Or better yet, don't accept your inheritance at all. Just donate the whole sum to the government for social programs.

We'll wait to see how sincere you really are.

Moran tweeted late Saturday his disdain for Miller and his role within the Trump administration. "The thing about Stephen Miller is not that he is the brains behind Trumpism," he wrote in the since-deleted missive. "Yes, he is one of the people who conceptualizes the impulses of the Trumpist movement and translates them into policy. But that's not what's interesting about Miller. It's not brains. It's bile. Miler is a man who is richly endowed with the capacity for hatred. He's a world-class hater."

It seems ABC disagrees. And how stupid of him to give ABC "cause" when he is at the end of his big contract. Now he can join the podcast world which is littered with unemployed MSM fools.
