For the purposes of these questions, I'm referring to flat track racing in the US, though if you know about racing in other countries as well, that would be of interest too, I guess. I looked at the horse racing article but it doesn't really go into the mechanics of the sport.
I've never followed horse racing but I've been wondering what the season is like for a horse. Is there even a horse racing "season" as there is in baseball, hockey, football, etc? I'm rather familiar with those sports and I know that each team can be at their home stadium/rink/etc or away at the opposing team's stadium/rink/etc. So do horses have a home track? How much do they travel in a given week, month, year? How often do they race? For instance, an American football team only plays one game a week but baseball teams play nearly every day. And how do the horses travel? Is it most common to be in a horse trailer on the road or does the method of travel vary based on the distance (or the size of the owner's pocketbook?)

It had Patrick Stewart. He had as many guns in his house as American Dad. He seemed a bit paranoid. 65.121.141.34 ( talk) 15:52, 18 May 2009 (UTC)

QUESTION: Song Artist/Song Title? -- i am the kwisatz haderach ( talk) 18:22, 18 May 2009 (UTC)
Is there a trick to how they fit 8 clowns into such a tiny car, for the circus gag? The article we have was of no use at all. 65.121.141.34 ( talk) 19:29, 18 May 2009 (UTC)
People still buy CD albums, but CD singles seem to be almost non-existent these days. Obviously digital downloads have replaced them largely but what are the statistics? Are CD singles still produced on a commercial basis on a large scale?-- NavyDrinker ( talk) 20:24, 18 May 2009 (UTC)
Many high-street changes stopped stocking singles a while ago. I seem to recall reading about HMV doing the same but can't find a news article about it. link ( http://drownedinsound.com/news/3067167). 194.221.133.226 ( talk) 10:28, 19 May 2009 (UTC)
