Good one Duritz.
Does Good Friday even exist in America? There are a total of 28 racetracks racing on Friday 14th April over there.

There are several NBA Basketball games and a stack of Major League Baseball games played on Good Friday too. I've noticed that many sports in America are run as per normal over Easter and they don't even think of taking the day off on Good Friday. It's coming to that point in Australia too with it seems the AFL the only football code holding out. Same thing happens in the US at Christmas time as well. Several Football and Basketball games are played on Christmas Day over there. I hope it doesn't get to that point here.
As for Racing, there is too much of it as it is. There are only two days off during the whole year. If they start racing on those days too, it would be the last straw.
