Horse Races at Christmas #1

The city of Ascot is kind of like a college town, dominated by one major attraction. Instead of a college campus, in Ascot it is the massive Ascot Race track. The horses run varying distances, the ones we saw were all about 2 miles, which was just one lap.
Holiday events all take place at the race track. This weekend they had family events around an afternoon of racing, and John, Brittany and Papa decided to check it out.


The Ascot Brass Band was there playing Christmas carols. There were six races, we saw four of them. In the first race there was a horse named 'Gentle John', we chose to root for him because of the name. Second place. In the second race we picked 'John Terry' - the name again - pulled up lame in the first corner and came in a poor last. The third race we let Brittany pick our horse, she picked the one in pink, and it won! The forth race we let John pick, and it won!
