Monmouth Park

Monmouth Park, NJ on July 3, 2009 for the kids' first day at the races. The images are in reverse order of arrival. We hung out at the warm-up oval for a peak at the horses prior to race-time. Rose was quite positive that the 4 horse would win the first race. Johnny the 5. Daddy went with the 7. The 4 tripped at the start and the 5 and 7 finished out of the money.

In the second race we were unanimous in picking the 10. Rosie said he would win because he looked "tough." Turns out the 10 wanted to watch the race just like us and determined the best view would be from behind all of the other horses, so as to not miss any of the action. He also preferred that the horses in front of him get smaller and smaller. He finished 10th by a landslide.

Rosie's face says it all in the second to last image and Johnny looks like he's trying to start a fight in the last image. But we had a great time!
