Arlington Race Track

Arlington Race Track has been a special place for Bob and I.  There is just something about watching the ponies on a warm sunny day, sprawled on a blanket and cheering for number 5.  We have spent many-a-Saturday doing this just this getting away from everything for a bit to have some fun.  And to be honest, quite inexpensive fun. 

Our first date (after our young high school romance) was at the River Downs Racetrack in Cincinnati during the Preakness in 2003 - Funny Cide taking it home.  Our five anniversary was special because we flew out to Baltimore to watch the Preakness live at Pimlico Racetrack standing in the infield watching Big Brown come down the stretch.  Our visit there was the last year Pimlico allowed crazy, ruckus-filled people into the infield.  We had no idea what we got ourselves into but we had a great time full of laughs. 

We always make it to Arlington Race Track during the Kentucky Derby with our friends and this year, we went back on Mother's Day with Matt, Christy, Grace, Beth, and Jay.  I've included photos from over the years... Enjoy the photos below.
