Kentucky is the proud Horse Capital of the World, so it would be rude not to make a small wager at the track. We spent the afternoon at Keeneland Race Track and walked away with a fist full of dollars…$13 to be exact!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Deja vu lunch at the Lexington Diner. I asked the waitress to surprise me, and got a yummy Kentucky cheesesteak with coleslaw<\/p><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

I’ve heard of drive through fast food, ATMs, liquor stores and now wagering!<\/p><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

Well timed race meet in October<\/p><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

Met the lovely Tamryn who gave us the inside scoop and a race program <\/p><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

Pole position for the parade of horses and saddling up<\/p><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

Slow start with number 7 coming second last<\/p><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

Doing better in race 5 and 6<\/p><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

Setting up – da da da dah, da dah – is actually played by a real bugle guy! <\/p><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

Off they go! <\/p><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

Here they come!<\/p><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

Fist full of winnings!<\/p><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

Yesterday: Ouchies<\/a> <\/p>\n

Tomorrow: Year of the Horse<\/a><\/p>\n
