Spent this beautiful, sunny, blue sky Friday at Monmouth Park. Monmouth Park is the local racetrack, otherwise known as the lushly landscaped pit into which one tosses money. This is a bad cell phone pic of Stormy Do, who quickly became known affectionately as Scooby Doo, and then, after I put $20 on him to place at 3-1 odds, promptly became known as Scooby Glue. (Kidding about the glue part.) I had such a great time there today, even though I left $40 lighter than when I entered. It was worth it just to watch these magnificent animals and to hang with some cool friends.
I know you were just kidding about Scooby Glue, but did you know the majority of racehorses are slaughtered after they retire from racing? It is so sad...I am a lifelong Kentuckian, and it breaks my heart to see this lovely creatures used and thrown away.
ReplyDeleteI love going to the track...haven't been down there in ages. Heck, haven't been to the Meadowlands in ages either. Can't bring a toddler to the track...or can I...hmm.
