DEPART

The 2011 Woodbine meeting came in for a smooth, soft landing Sunday night after 6 hours of racing action on the day, most of it uneventful.

The last day of racing was an opportunity for a lot of visiting, chatting, Christmas cheer and talks of “so, do you go to Florida for the winter?”

Many lucky ones are heading south this week and the following days to come, it will be fun for those of us up here to follow along the jockeys and trainers and owners and, of course, the horses, as they compete in Florida, New Orleans, Turfway and Philly Park...
