When I stepped outside to make the drive to Parx it was cloudy and lightly raining. My first thought was “What is this, the forecast was for sunny and upper 70’s!” Then I thought “Oh…Desormeaux must be doing a rain dance!” But the weather quickly cleared up and I thought, “Well, it’s not going to be Exaggerator today.”
It was an exciting day with a few very close races and some nice long shots coming in. The crowd was very enthusiastic and that’s a lot of fun. The excitement of the crowd, listening to people around me talking about who they bet and why and them cheering on the horses they bet on. I made four win bets. Three came in second, one came in third. R3 #1, R4 #5, R9 #2 and R10 #2. So much for that! While I was rooting for Cathryn Sophia it was awesome to watch Songbird race in person. She really is phenomenal. Mike Smith brought her back and paraded her in front of the crowd. Everyone on the apron was clapping and cheering her. Inside the glassed-in grandstand there was also much cheering, clapping, and whistling with huge enthusiasm. Then came the Pennsylvania Derby. I heard a lot of people talking up various horses but never heard anyone mention Connect. What a surprise! All I could think of was wow, Chad Brown strikes again! It was a fun day of good racing. Best of all, everyone came home safe and sound. Well, I did take a lot of pictures but the USB ports in my computer have been out of whack for a week and while I have tried every suggestion on Google to fix the issue I cannot get the connection for my camera to work. Oh well. I'm going to take my computer into Best Buy and hope they can fix it. Then I'll post some pics of the Cotillion and Penn Derby winners.
