December 18, 2025: It's that Time of Year


T’was the week before Christmas, and all through the track,

Not a creature was stirring, except a barn cat.

The horses were blanketed to keep from the cold,

Feed buckets awaiting to be filled with all they could hold.


The humans, long before dawn, fast asleep as well,

As the snow fell, and fell, and fell.

Both equines and humans alike dreamt of the same,

A New Year of wins for hopes of racing fame!


Happy Holidays! See you all next year!
