Derby Day

Weather: perfect – 70’s, sunny, low humidity

Camaraderie:  Wonderful with lots of friends

Gambling: The Oaks/Derby Futility Saga continues.  I am now 0 for 52 races on Oaks and Derby Day for 2013 and 2014.  We were close several times, losing photos in the last step.  Time to quit?

Here are some pictures:
