I am DONE.....

with horse racing. It used to bother me when I was a little girl (as I always felt sorry for the last place horse), but thought I would give it another chance a few years ago.

I went to the "Yellowstone Downs" here in Billings and watched an afternoon of racing and it was a BLAST ! I even won seven dollars. I, of course, bet on the horse with the prettiest silks.

So, last year I decide to watch the Derby because of all the hoopla concerning Barbaro. Well, we know that whole story and that he is in horsey heaven.

This year, I am flipping through the channels and it was almost post time. I think to myself "Self, nothing tragic is going to happen two years in a row"....ya, I suck at predictions.

I am not a card carrying member of PETA (and never will be)...but I AM DONE WITH HORSE RACING !!
