Hey folks. On Saturday I took the missus to the races at Sandown as a birthday treat. We had a top day out and didn't lose too much money despite our particularly rubbish gambling skills. This picture shows Robin standing very near to the finish line, with number 4, Road To Love, galloping to victory in the 5.25 at odds of 9-1 (naturally it wasn't the horse that we'd bet on). It's great to see the horses up close - they really do travel at an amazing speed. See below for Robin's first foray into horse riding (on a horse that doesn't move quite so quickly)...

That is a pretty cool picture! I'm surprised that Robin didn't get swept away in their speed!

Now Robin has mastered flat racing, try hurdles next then over the jumps! Have to wait for the Season though..... at least it will be cooler then. Don't know if other bloggers know we have been having a scorcher recently. Tube was said to be 40 when I went to Wimbledon..

It's been quite warm in Wisconsin where I live - high of 34 yesterday with high humidity levels. We haven't had rain in nearly a month and have burning bans until we get at least 2-3 inches of rain. The only good thing is that my grass isn't growing so I don't have to mow it! lol!
