NUMBER CRUNCHING TIME
Congratulations to Alberta’s zito who becomes only the 37th trainer to achieve 3000 wins. Archives show his journey from the waterlogged Tin barn #3, then the front natural compound shedrow moat and scaffolding at the rear catwalk. The natural lengthy walkway water trough, did not dampen his spirits at all, just make him strive to achieve more lofty goals south of the border.
CANADIAN RACING ACCOUNTABILITY PARTNERS through sweat equity has the 2022 live handle at the mile being estimated 28.612 million over 52 live dates a surprising average of 550k daily. HRA undertaker can neither confirm or deny this revelation, that’s when he gets off his ass, since its been 60 days since the meet ended. Woodbine and ASD promptly showed their meet figures, Minister Toews reply of we are monitoring their performance is a absolute joke.
CORRECTION Calgary airport ACE casino daily Asian buffet is $12 not $9, not matching their sister casino promotion.
