belmont birthday

A few weekends ago it was my friend B's birthday and she knew she wanted to watch some old-fashioned horse races, so we hopped on LIRR out to Belmont Park in Elmont, NY. We placed bets, drank beers, and ate hot dogs. It was loads of fun and I even won a few dollars! I didn't bet on 3 in the race picture above, but isn't it just spectacular how the horse noses ahead and wins the race?
