Hawthorne’s closing day has come upon us even more quickly than expected: in light of Saturday’s anticipated high of eight degrees, Saturday’s card has been cancelled.  Friday’s ten-race program will thus mark closing day of the Thoroughbred meet.

Hawthorne will not be without horses for long, since the winter harness meet starts on January 5.  But — first things first — let’s take a dive into Friday’s closing day card.  Here we take a look at all ten races, with an ABCX chart as well as comments for each horse on the card.

Head over to Picks and Ponderings, read my analysis of Friday’s card at Hawthorne, and let me know your thoughts in the comments!
