Sunday, December 27 is closing day at Hawthorne. Sunday’s Hawthorne card is packed: ten races, with full fields all day. Episode 188 of Chicago Race of the Day starts at the very beginning: with Race 1, a two-year-old race, featuring a horse on the upswing who is finally getting the chance to do the thing I’ve been looking forward to seeing him do all year long.
