My favorite day of summer, the day I anticipate all year long, is Opening Day at the Del Mar Race Track. This year I was invited to attend the races with Tyler’s parents, as they always get a table. We started the day off at the Poseidon where we put on our drinking shoes and had lunch. It was an absolutely beautiful day, we couldn’t ask for more.
After lunch, we went over to the track and started picking our horses and placing our bets. Unfortunately I didn’t do to well for the day but you can’t win them all! During the second race a horse broke its ankle. The jockey fell off and was badly injured. As for the horse, it continued to run and as it came closer the ankle was broken all the way and dangling by merely nothing It was a sad sight to see and they had to put the horse down. We were all very shaken up and sad.
Later in the day I met up with Kristin and Anna. They had just waited 45 minutes in line in order to get a drink. We decided that we should get a table in years to come. It’s worth the extra money to have a waiter all day.
After the races we walked to the Plaza. We had a few drinks and then ventured back over to the Poseidon. We had a very nice dinner on the patio accompanied with some great wine and great company. Thank god for taxis….
