We are close to Canterbury Downs at our rv park, so decided to go and take Bill and Marilyn (they have never been to the horse races) and our good friends Mitch and Barb (who just happened to be at the same park). Mitch is the one who broke his wrist playing pickleball (I devoted a whole blog to that episode). I called Jeanette (a "second daughter "who grew up with our kids during the summer) and she called someone at the race track and got us a table.
Marilyn, Barb and I pooled our money and had a great time betting, choosing horses by their name, or color or the way they looked. The men were more serious, bought a racing form and studied the way the horses ran before and didn't do any better than we did. Bill did come out a winner, he said he made ten cents and then found a quarter.
Canterbury is a very pretty race track, here is John explaining to Barb and Mitch something about the saddling paddock.
What a great looking bunch! Mitch said he knew a great hamburger place and was he ever right. Sadly Barb and Mitch are leaving this morning. It was fun being with them and I'm glad that his wrist is doing better.
