IT’S that time of year again – time for our fourth annual international Christmas list, when gifts are bandied about to the irrepressible members of this captivating, maddening, frustrating and mesmerizing game we play. Most of all, it’s time take a break and take a moment – to look back and look forward – all while counting our blessings.

For the horses and horsemen who were impacted by the San Luis Rey Downs fire in 2017, continued recovery and continued support in an ongoing journey. May it never happen again.
