@SeanFitz_Gerald One of the best writers and storytellers I have had the pleasure of working with. No doubt some organization is going to acquire a really solid free agent soon...

I appreciate I am a tad biased, but if you haven’t checked out our new patio @WoodbineTB Racetrack I highly recommend it! Great food and epic views of our racetracks and Toronto. Media DM if you are interested - we would love to host you
@AHBSeaborn Well, that’s not entirely accurate. You can wager on the Derby through https://t.co/lpIUDmZRjb and the Dark Horse Bets app. But correct - not currently through licensed Ontario sports books - something @WoodbineTB is hard at work on
