This year, Marshall and I were invited by our fabulous neighbors to attend Churchill Downs on the Wednesday before Derby. We left Cohen with a baby-sitter and had a GREAT time at the horse races. The best part of the day was checking out every body's derby HATS! The boys felt a little left out, so both Marshall and Don tried on Paula's feather hat. Don't they look pretty?
We sat and ate a delicious lunch and learned about how to bet on the races. We learned what a tri-fecta, an exacta, a place and a show are. As they sounded the trumpets we were all so excited. The first race began and the horses ran hard and fast. Marshall had beginners luck and won on his first bet. The second race, I joined in and bet a tri-fecta for 2,7,1--and won!! However, that was the end of our winning streak. We lost on almost every other race we bet. It was still such a blast. What a fun time to be in Kentucky.
