Default A few Derby/Oaks photos

Here are some of my favorite photos from the weekend. It was fantastic despite the rain and glue-like racetrack surface.

Things I learned include: don't be afraid to put down a remote camera at the Derby (I skipped it due to the rain on Friday and almost wish I hadn't), wear rain pants when the track is muddy (I wore rain boots but kneeling on the track made for wet legs), and yes, I can get misty-eyed that many times in a day (I'm not the sort to cry over things so I surprised myself a bit there).
