Jay, Reed, Erin, and I went to Del Mar to see the races on Saturday. At the start of the day I put $4 down, and after that bet solely with winnings. I walked away $70 up. I apparently have a knack for racetrack betting.

We were there for four races; I won at least one bet on three of them. Race 3 was particularly exciting; horse #2 (Cayambe) led for almost the whole time, only edged out by #7 (Chief Teddybear) at the last moment (pictured above). I had money on Chief Teddybear. Good stuff.

When the bell was rung for starting,
All the horses seemed impatient.
Their feet, they barely touched the ground,
Their speed was so amazing!

With me whack fo’ the do fo’ the diddle-y idle ay!
