Handle for U.S. Thoroughbred racing in January. @turfwaypark.bsky.social had the best month by far. Charles Town did OK, too, so people responding to the nighttime signals. Turf Paradise is killing Parx and Mahoning so this year.

If you've never played Mahoning Valley then today is your day! #3 in the lid lifter looks good, and I don't like either (morning line) favorite in the nightcap.

Happy heavenly birthday to my grandfather, Dominic Marchetti. Seen here at the far right of this Thistledown win photo, he’d have been 95 today. He got me into horse racing, and we named my son after him. A prince of a man.

Tough comparison this week w/ Oaklawn & Turfway opening same week whereas they didn't last year. I compared Turfway's opening week year over year because that matches Aqueduct's big races as well. Tougher than the comparison is the figures. All sources down 15% on 8% more races = not good

For those unfamiliar, a common "WAY" in which Cincinnati-style chili is served is between spaghetti and cheese. That's a 3 way. A 4th way is open to interpretation w/ either onion or bean the most common option (a 5 way includes both). Today I did a 4 way w/ jalapeno & it was fantastic!
