A Day at the Races

Anna and I just returned from a fine afternoon at Emerald Downs, the Seattle area race track. There's nothing I love better than an afternoon watching the horses run. So sleek, so graceful, so powerful. It was near 90 degrees, blues skies without a cloud, Mt. Rainier looming its 14,000+ feet to the southeast. A rather spare crowd because of no stakes races. Next Sunday will be the $100,000 Longacres Mile and The Breeder's Cup Distaff for the fillies. I won't talk about the betting. Let me say that we only lost about $25 between us. So get out there and support your local race track.
