4th in Des Moines

It was beautiful today.  We went to the track this evening where John met us.  The  horses were running for the second to last night of Thoughbred racing, then it’s on to the quarters along with the Thoughbred.  We may get to one more day of races before we leave but if we don’t tonight was fine.  The last race was truly spectacular.  The race was 1 mile 70 with a field of 11 (I think) and the beginning had them pretty much bunched up except for two horses that were way behind.  At the final turn the two from the back took off like they had jet engines and came in 1st and 2nd.  That race was worth $46 to the winner of a $2 bet.  Since I didn’t bet it was not a big deal to me but the race was sure fun.

We got home in time to do some work on www.delawarebeautiful.com but it’s late enough now to call it a night.

We may go to MP tomorrow to get the boxes packed into the bigger boxes, the driver will be there on Tuesday to load from there.  Not so many trips back and forth left now.
