The Spring is one of my favorite times of the year. With warmer weather upon us, we can start thinking about all the great outdoor activities to enjoy ranging from great golf and gambling excursions to beach getaways and other fun in the sun.

Another reason I love this time of year is the traditions like no other with the Masters golf tournament in April, followed closely by the Kentucky Derby in May. When the birds start chirping and the azaleas are in full bloom, you know great things lie ahead. In Kentucky, and other horseracing hot spots around the country, the tradition of thoroughbred racing, especially the Triple Crown, is really something special. Whether it is enjoying the signature drinks at the racetracks, hosting a party to celebrate the races, or attending the track for the day of races, each Triple Crown race offers a great opportunity to spend time with friends and hopefully cash some winning tickets. In this issue, on page 14, we are excited to highlight some fun facts about past Triple Crown Champions and some background and insight into each. There have only been thirteen elite thoroughbreds to accomplish the feat in 150 years, so to honor their greatness is always appropriate. Will we see one this year? Only time will tell but you can rest assured that we will be pulling for it to happen again!

Also in this issue, we highlight some of our favorite casino golf courses and gambling getaways. There is nothing better than getting a group of friends together and going on a golf trip. When you fold in the fun and excitement of a casino, well, the sky is the limit on having a great time. Whether you are a beginner or a seasoned golfer, the courses we highlight on page 7 will surely meet and exceed your expectations. We also highlight one of the best cruise lines in the world with Celebrity Cruises. If you are looking for a unique trip to travel the world, enjoy luxurious amenities while mixing in some gambling as well, look no further than Celebrity and be sure to let them know you read about them in Gaming and Destinations

We hope you enjoy the other great articles and gambling strategies in this issue as much as we like publishing them for you.
