BestLine Racing Society Nightcap:
Night off for the Thoroughbreds; however, maybe you can root home some reindeer or some such — though it seems that that darned Rudolph (not to be confused with Rudolf Juliano!) seems to get that blasted big red nose of his down at the wire first every year!
BestLine Racing Society Precap:
Over here, the annual breakfast feast of Grand Marnier French toast. Eat ’em up! But, there will be an emergency Xmas Day edition of ‘First Post’ with the Strongshots/Longshots recommendations for the five tracks running on Boxing Day, annually also known as Dec. 26.
