"...and they're off!"


Since Hot Springs has a huge horsetrack...
we decided to go check out what has caused and will continue to cause,
 all these traffic jams,
 and what all the "Hub-Bub" is all about!

Awwww.....the horses are so beautiful.
Watching them gave me goosebumps!


This horse...#10. We already placed our bets..$2.
And then when I SAW him. I told the Mr.
#10 will win.
Guess what? He did!

Beautiful weather!

{this is the gosh-awful pic you get, when you ask a NON-Picture-Taker-Person to take your picture! I wanted to say: "Thank you so much, but do you mind taking an another?"} The Mr. Would have DIED!

Great friends :)
We met up with some dear friends of ours-

{who are getting married in June! EEKK!!}

We tried to act like we knew what we were doing..{betting}
We had NOT-A-Clue!
We did win $4.60...
Whoo! Hoo!

Since racing season is only for a couple more months...I best be eating more of these delish sandwiches!
Ohhhh they are good!
All in all-it was fun!
By all means-we will be back for the food.
And look at the power-house horses.

That looks like so much fun! Haha! I always ask people to take another shot, just in case. You might be able to salvage the pic with some editing...warm it up some and add some more contrast:-)

I agree with Jen, you should have bet more. Oh well, maybe next time. The horses are beautiful. If I were to go to a race, I would probably go just to see the horses (with or without placing a bet). I probably won't place the bet, I'm not very good at gambling. I'm glad you had fun though.
