Happy Christmas and New Year to All!

[Ted Craven]

Friends, I just wanted to take a moment to wish you all a very joyful Christmas celebration and all other end-of-year festivities. Take time to enjoy the comfort of family and friends, sharing what is wonderful about your lives together, remembering those who are no longer with us physically, perhaps sharing a bit with those who find themselves in need of something you can help with. Moderate the intake of political rhetoric and news which leaves you troubled - it will all still be there when you get back from a short break from it.

I myself will be gone until January 4 (some beach, somewhere, a Caribbean island, though here in Ontario it has never been milder ). See you all on the other side - 2016 should be a wonderful year, for horse racing, for we who enjoy watching them run and trying to predict the future, for whatever adventures await.

Take care,

Ted
