It's a race! (I hope I win)

My family went to the horse races at Canterbury Park last Sunday. I geeked out over the horses (so pretty!), wore my Kentuky Derby hat, and placed bets for my underage cousins. I also learned the art of betting from my grandfather -- and used my new skills to lose all my money on the first race (go hard or go home, eh?). My mother and I did manage to win $3.20 on a horse named Bobadieu (her cash), which we proceeded to lose when we bet on our "lucky" number 6 in the next race. C'est la vie. More time for photos.
