Stakes Day
One of the winning horses in the races. Over 60,000 people turned up to perfect 28 degree weather. I'm $25 richer thanks to betting on a horse named 'Glamour Puss'. LOL. For awhile I made that my tactic - betting on catchy names - until I went for a certain 'Miss Potential' who really did have potential - she lead in the beginning. Then she ended up last.
Some people had interesting dresses and hats. Being 'Family Day' at the races, we were surrounded by really young pretty people, unfortunately some guys - I mean boys - couldn't even fill out their suits, and some young pretty girls looked like they were dressed for daytime clubbing. Just a little bit wrong.
Is it weird for me to say I found the horses more gorgeous than the made-up, nicely-dressed women? They are such fine creatures.
Oh, Valedictum won the Emirates Stakes Cup. I wouldn't have gone for that name anyway. Heh.
