Kentucky Derby

Life is good! What a great day it was. The Queen enjoying the race, Street Sense sitting in 19th place coming from behind to win the Derby, and last but not least Val & I hitting the trifecta. Yes, you heard right. We placed a four horse $1 trifecta bet (2-7-8-12) and won $220. We threw the 12 horse in because that was Val's number in softball and just in case there was more rain this horse had previously won on a muddy track. Although the payout was no where close to the payout in 2005 and 2006, $133,134.80 and $11,418.40, the extra money is welcome. The Queen fit right in with her hat and I am sure she had a good time. I hear she didn't place any bets but I would like to have known what horse she liked.
