Ah - something else to be thankful for this holiday, even if "Texas racing is in trouble".... I'm looking forward to getting to see my current Tx-bred favorite filly, WRENICE, attempt to be the consistent stakes winner this year as she was last year - and hopefully one day a GSW - right here at the 'home' track. Texas Champions Day - a day of all stakes races - is the first Saturday in December and she'll make her return debut to a track she's always liked to run on.....
OF course Fairgrounds also opens this weekend and the class of entrants for its better races will overshadow most of ours but you'll see plenty of Fairgrounds regulars slip over here to try for some of our open stakes money - especially for the newly designated G-3 Connally Cup stakes on our great turf course towards the end of the meet in April.
Sam Houston Race Park opens TB racing this Friday!

It is good to see Sam Houston start up again. Retama closed its meet with attendance and handle both up over last year -- I expect the same for Houston. Yes, we are struggling in Texas, but there are some great horses running, like our beloved Wrenice. I am hoping to get there to watch it all on December 1st.
