A DAY OFF SOUNDS EXHILARATING

I would be very happy not playing at all
Give my brain a rest before the big days

I'll happily go along with whatever choice the group makes. My personal preference would be to take a week off and return with vigor for the BC.

Well, I guess I'll just have to get my horse racing fix from the Del Mar Beat Ray Contest this weekend. Disappointing, as I usually do better in this contest than in that one, but Breeder's Cup is a grueling 2 days so maybe we need the rest to be at our best(unintended poetry there). I doubt I'll be watching many of those Euro races on You Tube as I am no great race watcher, but I do watch them occasionally when the past performances that you get are so terrible that you can't even tell what kind of running style a horse has. Not a fan of European past performances. Wish there was one type of PPs for all races, but that will most likely never happen. Rest up everyone so we can hopefully, knock it out of the park next Friday or Saturday.

Cal, thanks for mentioning the Del Mar Beat Ray Contest.

For anyone who wants to give it a try, here's a link to the contest rules:

Well we haven't heard from many (except the usual gang) but I would think it would be great if we all:

- Get ready for Halloween the 2020 way
- Watch some good college football games and cheer for my Clemson Tigers if you don't have a team to cheer for
- Get out and vote early, if you haven't already
- Walk though Home Depot and Lowes to pick out your new pre-lit Christmas Tree (they've had them out for awhile already???
- Plan your 2020 scaled back (maybe masked) Thanksgiving family gathering
- Anticipate how good it will feel to get that 1 hour of sleep back
- Start early studies on all the Breeders Cup Races
- And watch racing on TV and/or play another contest


Because . . .


It looks like we will be skipping our contest for this coming Saturday. Let's take a short freshening and we'll see you November 6 and 7 for our annual end of the contest year Breeders Cup extravaganza and another Gallivan Cup Challenge.

I'll put up some of the Breeders Cup week extras after we know who our next President will be . . . at least I hope we know. President of the United States that is
