TDN – Santa Anita Wagering Menu Out For Classic And Hollywood Meets
While you’re waiting and anticipating the Malibu and the opening of Santa Anita’s winter meet Yule, Christmas, Chanukah, Boxing Day, the Feast of Saint Stephen and the Feast of Jordan enjoy a few of Phil’s favourite readings, drinks, flicks, Carols, Christmas and other tunes. If you’re waiting for Kwanzaa go sleep in a hut with Jabba.
And Remember that ofttimes Phil just gotta give into the URGE.

The other Dons in the room applauded and rose to shake hands with everybody in sight and to congratulate Don Corleone and Don Tattaglia on their new friendship.
