A day at the DOWNS | Louisville
posted in Uncategorized
In all my years of living in Louisville.. i have never been to Churchill Downs!! In fact, i have never even seen the outside of Churchill Downs much less the inside. Churchill Downs is pretty much what makes Louisville famous.. well, that and the Louisville Slugger Bat and Muhammed Ali. (Btw: i have never been to one of those either.) I guess living in Louisville does not prompt me to see all the tourist type things.. but i realized that i need to turn over a new leaf and at least experience my city. The funny thing is that several of my friends had never been to Churchill Downs either. So, we decided to remedy that faux pas and spend a day at the Downs!! Here are some of the adventures.
HORSES!!
So, we all decided to make a big bet of $2.00 across the board. Yeah, i know .. you are impressed with my lingo!! I actually know what that means.. ha, but Amy had to tell me :) The only experienced gambler in our midst.. haha.

6 votes // vote as favoriteShe won the first two races.. We tried to coerce her to telling us who to pick in the following horse races.. but she decided not to share her gift with the rest of us and refused to bet anymore the rest of the day. Ha. I guess we don’t have to worry about her becoming addicted to gambling.
After losing our two dollars :) – we decided to take it down a notch and make a bet amongst ourselves. Guess who won that one!!
