We had a great time at the races (check out the rail birds above). We did not win any money, but the track is beautiful, and the racing was great. We sat in the grandstand. You can see that attendance was up on opening day.
I had this horse (#10 named Si O No) in the first. I played him to Win, Place and Show at 8-1. He was in super postion, in second, around the final turn. The leader was ahead by two. He moved to the inside to pass the leader, and the leader fell down. He had to jump the leader and got hit in the back leg, losing all chance. He finished 7th. I should have stopped betting right then. The leader was OK. I guess he just slipped. A couple more photos are inserted below. We are at the Amtrak station in Albany, waiting on the 12:05 to NYC.
