Bristol Tracks, 16 Apr 2005
In honor of the end of tax season, Beth's Dad's CPA organization always goes out to the tracks and blows a few bucks. This time I was invited along. It was a good time; the food was okay, and the atmosphere was incredibly sleazy, but I somehow enjoyed watching the whole thing. And I won $1.90 on the two horses I bet on, though I lost $2 on a couple of pools that made up for it...

Preparing for the Tracks
Beth's Dad is good at schmoozing with these folks.
Beth at the Races
*smile*
Tim and Beth at the Races
If you've been keeping up with these pictures, you'll know that I got in trouble for not smiling earlier in the day. Well, this time I smiled.
Horse-Race Picture Attempt 1
My camera just isn't fast enough to do this.
Horse-Race Picture Attempt 2
That didn't stop me from trying, though.
Horse-Race Picture Attempt 3
And this was my standard result. Note that I've deleted a few dozen of these to make life easier for everyone else.
Starting A Race
There's at least a decent shot here...
Starting A Race, II
I like that car.
Starting A Race, III
Okay, here we're back to fuzz. Bye.
Ending A Race
You can kinda make out the horses here...
Winning Horse
Wow, it's easier to do this when the horse is standing still.
Playing with the Horse
I guess it's part of the tradition: put the kids on and hope they survive!
Our Group with Horse
Since we came as a group, we had to have our picture taken with the winning horse of a race. And when I say "we", I mean "everybody but me". Hehe.
Horse for Petting
This was my favorite part: big fuzzy animal!
Horse and Tim
I assume you know I like animals.
Horse and Tim, II
This smile oughta be a good tipoff...
