I didn't think I would find an I worth posting, but then we had a night out at Remington Park.
Starts with I: I found this beautiful statute of an INDIAN riding his pony. The flowers, grass, and pine trees made for the perfect place for a ride.
Favorite: In the 9th race Trixie Racer was considered the favorite. Which meant my meager bet wouldn't bring in much cash if she won. She is one of 5 horses brought over by the trainer, who happens to be the stepson. This made her a favorite of ours, too. So, Hubs and I placed our bets...
...and she won. We were INVITED to have our picture taken with her in the Winner's Circle. INCREDIBLE!
Inspiring: As this beauty showed her stuff, Hubs and I decided her long legs meant a long stride, IDEAL for a win. She didn't. :(
Just Because: INNOCENT Storm was an INTERESTING name, and most of the time this is how I choose the horse to bet on. However, had she been named Storm, I might have placed a bet, but the INNOCENT part made her seem too docile to win. She didn't.
And Finally: Stepson wanted Hubs to meet one of the owners, so he INTRODUCED them before the last race. It was a fun night!

ReplyDeleteEnjoy your sunday
Hi Betty, sorry to be late.
ReplyDeleteI too like your Indian find. I'm wondering if it is a genuine Remington sculpture piece. I've never been to a real horse race, and only once to our race track. That was when Ford Motor came with a new Model exhibition here. I drove a Mustang on an obstacle course. When I left my time was still amongst the top times. I think maybe now there are no horse races anymore. We also closed our dog track.
