A day at the races....

Horse racing is alive and well. Who knew?
As we drove back from San Antonio the other day we noticed a race track and knew it must be our next adventure. Maybe we were some of the only people there (though the "regulars" were very hard-core and made the night all the more enjoyable and interesting), but we had a great time. And for $2.50 to get in (and no betting on our part)...it sure made a cheap excursion.



C studies the stats to pick a winner.

I relax as we wait for the next race.

Ahhhh...horse race food...eerily similar to sporting event or fair food.


C makes his prediction...

And the winner is..... ZOOMIN' CAT! No lie. If only we were the gambling kind.

So I just finished reading Seabiscuit and I would totally go to a horse race now. You should read the book if you enjoyed the races; it was really good. I wrote up a review on our booklist: iversonbooklist.blogspot.com
Anyway, looks like a fun time!

Dude! We haven't even done this. You are so more Texan than we are. Seems like a fun activity, this'll be something Russ and I will have to do.

What a FUN adventure! I'd love to see a horse race, I love how you found it randomly. I also love that you picked he winning horse but didn't bet, that's hilarious!
