just how we roll

Veiled Reference, 11/18/07, at Charles Town. You can see the four of us down on the rail during the race, which is kind of funny. Plus, it seems that I need a new belt from all the hiking of the jeans afterwards. Better than busting out of them, I guess.

It's striking to see her shut down when she gets to the front ("What do I do now?"). Notice her ears and how she flicks them forward and starts throwing her head a bit. She's totally checking out the grandstand in the lane, ignores her cue to switch leads until very late and only picks it up when the other horse comes to her. Galloping out past the wire, she put that colt away. My favorite is the excited couple that runs toward the winner's circle after the race to take pictures of the husband with his winning ticket. Two more fans of the empire, baby.
