During one day of our visit to my parents home, we went to the horse races in historic Saratoga, NY. Saratoga advertises themselves as "The August Place to Be" and we agree. It is worth at least one day per summer to take part in the tradition and excitement of thoroughbred horse racing, and of course gambling.
Each member of our family chose one horse to win in each of the five races that we watched. The winners in the family were Juliana and the ever-lucky Joseph. You can seem them gloating with their cash winnings.
Kathleen had the award for the biggest win that didn't happen. Each of us had chosen a horse for the first race, but it took me longer that expected to figure out the new electronic betting machines at the track. I ran out of time to place our bets and Kathleen's long shot pick came in first and paid 25:1. She would have won $25 if only I had placed her bet.
