Rest In Peace Michael Ballezzi. Our thoughts are with his wife Artie and son Michael, Jr. We will be posting details of his funeral services shortly. Please see the attached link for a photo gallery and some great memories with Mike. https://t.co/yVsHf3wggY
Another strong (albeit two-day) race week @ClubHawthorne. The Friday card is solid but Saturday's, including a highly competitive turf stakes, is better top to bottom than anything Arlington had (outside Million Day & Million Preview Day) the last several years. Check it out.
Our 2nd video is live. This is for the men & women of @itharacing . Take out the KY Derby & ask yourself, is CDI good for racing? We don't doubt they do great things for the state of KY, but anyone who owns the KY Derby would do the same great things.
R6 Sunday @ClubHawthorne is a very decent looking MSW with a large field and a $40,000 purse. It's, like, a legitimate race - something we're not used to here in Chicago.
A special thank you to the CTHF Board of Directors and our volunteers for making the CTHF Holiday Party happen. Over 300 backstretch workers received a holiday meal and close to 100 children received a stocking full of treats and a gift card. View the pictures on our website haw
