Well, I did say it was "unexpectedly" fun.

I rarely bet all races on a card, but since it was the Breeders' Cup and I was there, I deviated and did throw some minimally researched $$ on Calvin Borel's mount in the Marathon. I lost, of course.

The infield did have some great open air bars so maybe next year I'll try to grab a bloody mary on the dash from the back stretch to the finish line.....

Seriously, the backstretch did have some unique photo ops as the horses passed by full of run the 2nd time around.
