Our new hobby

Over the last few weeks Jason and I have developed a weakness for the ponies lol.  We have several race tracks near our house, which we have been fans of for several years, but this is the first year we put money on the big races.  We bet on the Kentucky Derby and the Preakness, with pretty good success.  Well, it's probably more accurate to say we rotate our success.  For the derby, I picked the second place horse while Jason's horse was carted off in ambulance.  But in the Preakness my horse came in dead last, while Jason picked the winner!
 
Now our winnings aren't going to allow us to retire or anything, but having a bet on a race makes it really fun to watch.  The last leg of the Triple Crown race is the Belmont, which happens in a few weeks.  Maybe we'll both have good luck on this one!
