I am thrilled to announce that SmallMac has accepted the position of Assistant Racing Secretary at the new Century Mile Racetrack and Casino in Edmonton, Alberta. The brand new track is opening in April 2019 and replaces the old facility at Northlands Park. Rob will be reporting directly to the Director of Racing and will be responsible for the operation of the race office. We are heading to Edmonton next weekend to get him set up in an apartment/condo/whatever as the new job starts Feb. 15.
In a related note I am happy to announce that I will be converting Rob's old bedroom into a naked room effective Feb. 16!

That’s cruel Bev!
With all due respect to Tenfurlongs and his much appreciated contest I haven’t had much time to handicap lately so I resorted to the Shades tip sheet this morning. Had I opened the PP’s I would have been all over Crown and Sugar just because. That win today makes her 9 for 21 lifetime.

Congrats.....it is really good news when a great fellow member of ours gets to move into digs etc that make life's hard work pay off in exciting ways...now then , if as an assistant , " smallmac " could let us know when race conditions is made up ,for a likely win ,for a horse or two, it will be very considerate...lol..just kidding of course....lol...( that is not to suggest that may be another way to ' fix 'a race or two , but it certainly would be a great way to profit....lol...just a thought....lol...) ...( ie: trainers are always looking for race cards conditions to benefit thier owners & horses in their care...)...just a thought or two....again , congrats....see you at Woodbine in a few years...lol

Northlands has ended its 118 year run of live horse racing,
and race fans will now move to Century Mile next door to the Edmonton International Airport.
The Century Mile casino will open April 1, 2019 and the first day of racing will be April 28. |

The real news isn't Rob moving on and up (always knew that was in the stars), it's this naked room stuff. (more then we need to know, and taking "sharing" to a whole new level on the board lol! )
Congrats Rob (aka Small Mac).....a new road, a new adventure (can feel the beaming smile (your dad's) through his post)

Lol....they must have woodbine connections, since the Toronto airport planes flew over woodbine racetrack ,for many years ,and at times even scared some running horses....they too ,are located across from the track...hope they do not have the same problems...after all, if the planes fly over the track an accident of major proportions could happen...etc...lets hope not...oh, and the planes did drown out the race caller as well....lol... |

Thanks everyone for the kind wishes, looking forward to getting out there and getting to it. Should be busy, looking forward to the thoroughbreds. Going to be dipping my toe into harness racing too, so will be trying to learn all about that as well.

Here is photo evidence that it is all hands on deck. Small Mac last evening helping the track crew out. Maybe we can get him to get us a golden rail for opening day! Attachments:
