Hail to the bye week.

PrintI love this year's bye week for our beloved Purple. It occurs on the most important weekend of the year. Yes, I am talking about the Breeder's Cup weekend for horse racing fans. I have handicapped the races. I just need post positions to be drawn and some horses to choose which race they will enter. A quick check of the weather forecast for southen California and I am good to go. I have Fri. off to place all my wagers @ Canterbury. My recliner is ready for Saturday's races. Hopefully I will need to return to Canterbury on Sunday to collect my numerous winnings.
To you deer hunters: I wish you a safe and successful opening day hunt. I will be warm while cheering on my 4-legged money burners. Next week? Back to tracking my beloved Vikings. (My handicapping reveals that Europeon based horses will do well. That info & $2.50 will get you a Starbuck's coffee.) Once again, I thank the NFL schedule makers for this master stroke in bye week scheduling.

Good luck with the horse races this weekend. I’ve always wanted to go down to canterbury to watch the horse races but for some reason I just haven’t ever made it down there.
Hopefully I won’t have to stay out in the cold very long this weekend and can bag the big buck I’ve been seeing on our hunting land the last couple of years.
SKOL PURPLE!
I went there a few times as a kid……never placed a bet I swear…..;-), thats what parents are for. hehehehe But I always enjoyed the times I did go. Sad to hear it closed, then happy to hear it reopened. I have gone to the Downs at Albuquerque here twice……blah. Sorry to the folks originally from New Mex., but if you ever went to Canterbury, you would see why.
