So here are some more behind scenes Derby Day pics that I wanted to share. :) The first is of the wonderful Brad Cox Racing Stables sign. What makes this so significant is this is the guy that got us in on the backside. Blake works with his brother-in-law and he was nice enough to drive us into the backside. A MILLION THANKS to Brad!!! ALSO, one of his horses, Temple Street (which he trained) ran in the Humana Distaff race that day. She was a longshot going off at 20-1 or 30-1, can't remember exactly, but we decided to bet that little girl across the board for sentimental reasons. She ended up coming in second and we won $340 for the bet we placed. WOOHOO!! THANKS again Brad! We ended up breaking even for the day so we were, to say the least, pleased with how things worked out. Brad is an up and coming trainer and owner and I'm sure there are nothing but great things to come for him. Also pictured is one of the many horses we saw that day in the stables, another of Bob Baffert the famous trainer and a pic of race horse getting his horseshoes put on. It was soooooo neat getting to watch that. And it was really nice that no one on the backside cared that we were standing around taking pictures and walking up to the horses. More stories and pics to come in the following days. Remember the name Brad Cox, he's gonna have a Derby horse one of these days! :)
