Track President Phil Ziegler is guest and there's great news for live racing at Emerald Downs for 2022! Racing dates have been requested, Horsemen Incentives announced for all 2021-22 first-time claiming horses and the stakes schedule will have a number of increased purses.

Many 2021 EmD stakes stars are still in off-season mode while Blazingbellablu continues to blaze to a Washington three-year-old filly title and possibly more yearly honors. There's Marshall Allen's life-saving action, toss in some hockey talk, stats and trivia, and you have a December edition of Horseracing NW.
