9/2/12, Race 2, 2 1/16 mile steeplechase.

9 year old granddaughter: I'm betting $2 on the 7 to win!

12 year old sister: You can't bet a 15-1 just to win. Bet to place or show.

9 yo: I am betting to win ONLY!

12 yo: Are you stupid?

9 yo: (Infuriated) I have 100% confidence in the looks of the horse (she rides) and the jockey (female).

12 yo: OK, if you are that sure I'm betting the 7, too, but to place.

Anyone within 6 furlongs of these two girls could hear the screaming--for 2 1/16 miles: C'mon Danielle, c'mon Danielle. It was a stretch drive that could have been written in Hollywood.

7 Spy in the Sky: $52.00 $21.80 $13.40

Jockey Danielle Hodsdon graciously gave her time for autographs and pics with my kids. Precious!

When the 9-year-old starts a conformation tipsheet, put me on the subscribers list, please.

Cute story.
