I don't often get to a race track to bet on the ponies. But, it happened that a vendor was sponsoring an event. So, I decided to tag along, looking even more like a nerd with my camera.
It takes a LONG time between races. First, someone walks the track to make sure it is clear.
And, then the horses need to get to the gate. Sometimes they are nervous and need a little time. So, they walk them a bit. Sometimes they go left to right.
And, sometimes they go right to left.
I have no idea why.
But, while all of this is going on, there is some serious betting on the races. More on the race, and the betting, tomorrow.
