Santa Anita Horse Races

We met Auntie Karen at the Santa Anita Tracks for some horse races and the last food truck fest of the season.  They had a kid zone filled with games and a fun bounce house with a slide. Santa Anita also has a permanent playground in the infield which made the experience so kid friendly. We had such a great time!

He's learning to overcome his fear of slides

The huge bandage on his right leg covers up a gash that I accidentally inflicted on him. Sorry Michael. =(

Jason and Michael make a good team! Jason won two boxed-trifectas (that's when you pick the top 3 horses to finish in any order), and won about $160! Not too bad on a $6 bet don't you think?

Michael picked 2 winning horses. He would look at the racing program and choose the horses by color. He can read the word blue, and that's how he chose them. On one race he picked the horse with 13 to 1 odds and won $26!

 We had so much fun that we planned another race date...next month!
