One of the Derby Trail traditions I enjoy most.. Best wishes to everyone and their families for a joyful Thanksgiving. No matter how difficult things may be for anyone in particular, in racing or the rather anguished world at large, there is plenty for which we should be thankful. Enjoy the holiday no matter where you are or what your doing. Be kind to each other and those with whom you share the day.

Steve

Last couple of years I find myself thinking of you cooking. Early in the morning, late at night. We're going to Chinatown. I'm thankful I don't have to clean out that pan like Steve H. was talking about today.

I'm thankful I have Steve Byk and all his friends to listen to every day. I love racing and it's great to spend a few hours every day with people who feel the same way.

HPpy Thanksgiving. The big question is whether we will be graced by a Math play by play of Thanksgiving. That is as good as the turkey I am about to fry.

Jim, they're gonna be here at one. My POS brother in law is on his second wife. The kids are older and its warm out, so I anticipate them being outside all day. But if anything interesting happens today, I'll post it for you.


Happy thanksgiving to the entire DT family and their families.

I very seldom post/show bets but this is a WONDERFUL site. Steve Byk, you are, simply put, the man! Also, to everyone that posts, even those I disagree with totally, thanks for your input. I love reading about touts, wins, bad beats, the whole nine yards. We share all these feelings and much more, which makes this game great. Happy Thanksgiving to all!

My oldest daughter is back east so this is a little different Thanksgiving for us. Very thankful she has my sister and family to enjoy the day.

And ran last, second last, and third last in the 3rd. at DelMar so it's not really that different.
