I Ran Like a Thoroughbred at Santa Anita



OK, actually I walked, but it was sure fun! And to top it off, I bet on a horse and it won!

Here we are nearly to the finish line, not in any big hurry as you can see, but right on the track where the ponies run. We had already strolled through the Los Angeles Arboretum and around the track. My friend the herald trumpet blower was waiting for me when the (horse) races began. Third race, horse #6, $2.00 to win was my bet, and it paid out 5/2 odds which came to $7.20. Such fun.
