Oh goodness. So much I could say but don't want to be long winded.
You must have had a wonderful time. So pretty and formal. And the hats! Wow.
I have been to many sulky races. Our Uncle owned /raced several years. I recall many fun times. With exception of actually being allergic to horses, it was really fun. I was young and it was so exciting to drive 60 miles to Columbus, be up late. Nobody else I knew went to the races. It semed so adult. My sister and I got to pick horses and Dad or Grandpa would place our $2 bet. Funny now.
Hope you are making plans for a Derby Day excursion this year.
Yes, it was a lot of fun! I just went to the Arkansas Derby, don't think I'm gonna make it to the Kentucky Derby although I'd like to at some point! Sounds like you had a good time going also! Thanks for reading and posting!
