End of the Year Tidbits

[Fairmount1]

Some various tidbits for those that read here but maybe not X/Twitter or elsewhere.

I believe that Santa Anita will have $1 minimums for Tri\'s starting on Boxing Day for those studying the TG\'s already.

Private Creed a Vet Scratch at FG today. Hmmm...  

Happy Holidays out there to all the folks here I\'ve met and that still read.  I stay in touch with many of you by text but not everyone so for those that I miss by text Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, Etc Etc. Look forward to seeing all of you somewhere along the lines in 2024.  I\'ll be at Southwest Day, Fountain of YOuth Day, Derby, Preakness, Saratoga twice, and hopefully will have a Kee or Churchill trip in there also.  Maybe Rebel or Ark Derby.  Those are more impulsive last minute decisions on the latter ones. And a huge thanks and appreciation to everyone that helped me have a terrific 2023 whether it is driving me to and from an airport or saving me a seat or sharing dinner among friends or cheering on your Fountain of Youth Pick 5 Score or letting me stay at your place for a random night before a Derby prep!  Lots of good memories along the way and looking forward to doing it all over again!

Of course I\'m already Saratoga Dreaming.  Will be up there FourStarDave weekend (Thurs 8/8 through Sat 8/10) and Labor Day weekend (Fri 8/30 through Sun 9/1).  A little change from my usual Whitney/Labor Day Double but bringing some Stl folks for the first round of Sar this year so I had to be flexible.
