- Time for a break. The Head Chef and I are headed back to one of our favorite paradise spots, and I'm leaving the laptop behind. Left at the Gate will return on Saturday, Jan 13th, unless the Jets beat the Pats this Saturday and I'm watching the game. As always, thanks so much for stopping by, and for the wonderful comments and feedback you've contributed in the nearly two years of this blog, (the archives of which are listed by month on the right sidebar, or at the bottom if you're using some versions of Explorer). It's that thoughtful feedback and kind words that inspire me to keep going.
Feel free to use this as an open thread to discuss anything that's going on, or to talk behind my back (though I'll see it next week). Enjoy the races and, again, here's wishing you a Happy and Safe New Year.
Peace.

LATG, I'm a new reader who's enjoying your insightful views very much. I was beginning to think that these matters were only discussed around the water cooler at the NYRA offices. Its nice to know there are concerned and enlightened horsemen out there such as yourself.
Have a great vacation. DVP
Have a great trip, Alan!
Hope you guys caught EZ Warrior's act in the San Miguel today. Broke on top and pretty much just strolled around the track without a serious challenge, against a tough group of sprinters no less. Not too shabby in his first appearance since the spring/summer Hollywood meet. Incidentally, he had been working head-up with the $8 million colt Mr. Sekiguchi in preparation for today's effort. That one himself re-surfaced after a long layoff today, and ran extremely well vs. a very tough allowance group. So despite the long absence, EZ Warrior has been keeping some good company of late. The usual flood of EZ Money poured in as well, sending him off as the 1/2 favorite. Those good young Bafferts sure get bet, don't they?
I nominated you for a Koufax Award for Best Expert Blog. (They didn't say an expert in what...I think Pony Playing classifies.)
Not as expensive as nominating for the Breeder's Cup, thank goodness.
