Racing Day The Cheap Way

We are lucky enough to have a park nearby which is also a horse racing venue.  Little man has never been to the races so we went for a visit but to the park and not the grandstand ie for free.

We took a picnic and a football and waited for the horses to come thundering by.

Luckily for us the next race was starting from where we were walking to so we hung about to see the horses going in the stalls and setting off.  Little man had a snack while we were waiting.

The grandstand was packed

I don't know if you can see it from this picture but this particular horse had a union jack shaved into it's hind quarters.

and just after this picture this horse lifted it's tail and pooped right in front of us. NICE!!
