Historic Infield at Churchill Downs

Where the rich folks go to burn their money

Number 11 won this one...I picked him.
Too bad I didn't put money on it.

Addison and Harper are waiting to rub the horses' noses.
Harper's getting a start by rubbing her own nose.

Addison looking down the track in the hopes of seeing some horsies

Harper playing on the railing

The girls, just like their daddy, paying more attention
to the nice John Deere tractor than the horses

Silly picture time

How cute!

Addison enjoys taking pictures.

Harper tried her hand at self-photography.

Addison was trying to look as cute as possible to get a free snack.

It was a pretty good crowd on opening day.

The handlers taking the horses to get ready to race

This was the crowd to our right.

Headed to the gate

Them suckers are fast!

"You must be at least this short to be a jockey."
