I took in the closing day of the racing season at River Downs yesterday. It was a lot of fun. I picked a couple of winners, including a $13.00, an $8.40 and a $7.50 payout. Those paid for the majority of my losing bets. It was fun betting on the simulcast races in between the races at River Downs. I laid down bets on races at Thistledown, Saratoga, Del Mar, Prairie Meadows, Ellis Park, Arlington Park and Woodbine. They had a pretty good-sized crowd. With no parking fee and no admission charge, it is a pretty good deal.
Here are a couple of pictures:

Update: My time at the track coincided with the always
entertaining Joe Biden's
visit to the Cincinnati AFL-CIO picnic next door at Coney Island.
