What a wonderful day! First thing this morning we visited Cathedral Gardens in Henryville, IN and let me just say it is the most beautiful place I've ever seen. So much beauty...I truly think it is the closest thing to Heaven on Earth that you could ever see. And what an inspirational place! It literally brings tears to your eyes it is so filled with the Spirit of The Lord. Such a lovely tribute that has been built all to glorify Christ. Just stunning and we're so happy we were able to go there!
Then, later in the day, we went to Churchill Downs in Louisville, KY where we were escorted to a private suite that faced the track, given a tour of the paddock, trainer's area and we were thisclose to the horses and jockeys as they mounted up! We were treated like we actually had money, when we really don't, lol. I have to say, I could get used to the way the other half lives!
We bet on all 11 races and I have to say, I did great as far as I'm concerned. :) Well, I would have been much better if I'd bet to win, but I'm happier getting to cash out a ticket every race...and I did do just that except on one race because my horse scratched. I ended up coming out $35+ ahead. :) If I had bet to win I would have won $70+ because 5 or 6 of my horses won. :) Funny, cause I only go by the names, lol. So much for the racing sheets, handicappers, etc.
Lori Ann came out a bit behind but only because she bet two horses in each race. :) Norma ended up losing her regular...about $25 over the course of the day. Scott and Brett, well, I was funding them and they didn't do so hot...they both only won on one race, but they had a great time, too. It was THE BOMB! :) |
