Happy Tuesday & National Absinthe Day!
For your Tuesday 🏇 wagering, our coveted Lundin Line heads to beautiful Bensalem, PA, for a very nice 10-race card at Parx Racing! Today's races will be highlighted by two races:
75K Main Line Stakes in R8. A 1 mile, 70 yds. race on the dirt for 3-year-old fillies
75K City of Brotherly Love Stakes in R9, 1 mile, 70 yds for the 3-year-old guys.
Oh - in case anyone is thinking "City of Brotherly Love? - didn't those guys throw snowballs at Santa?" Ummm - not so fast. As is often the case, there is usually more to the story. It's actually a pretty interesting story..."Eagles & Santa Claus"

From our friends over at https://www.nationaldaycalendar.com....
"Often mistaken for a liqueur, it is truly a spirit because it isn't sweetened. It belongs to the vodkas, gins, and whiskeys when categorizing absinthe.
The spirit is made by infusing wormwood, fennel, anise, and other herbs into alcohol through distillation. Pierre Ordinaire, a French doctor, is credited with the creation of absinthe. He developed and prescribed the elixir in the early 19th century as a cure for many illnesses.'
