Trip #3

Haskell Weekend / The Jersey Shore
July 25-28

What a great adventure!


Listening to the ocean.......
 
My dinner view the first evening on the Jersey Shore
 
Cashing my first ticket at Monmouth
 

I WIN The Saturday Feature!
 
 
 
The end of the first day......Lobster Mac-a-Rooney with a cold beer on ice
At Rooney's Restaurant on the beach
 
 
Could not have found a better breakfast diner for race day!
 
 Making my race-day fashion statement in front of the Haskell sandcastle
 
The packed grandstand - reminds me of the old Gulfstream facility.....sigh.....
 
The first winner on Haskell Day
 
Cashing my ticket on the first stakes race, the Grade 2 Molly Pitcher for nearly $60
 
 The beautiful Monmouth Paddock
 
The "BIG WIN" of the day
 
2009 Horse-of-the-Year and Haskell Champion Rachel Alexandra's Jockey Statute
 
 "Prime Time" Investment in the finale brings me back to nearly even for the day!
 
Celebrating the final win of the day in my free Haskell cap

Cheers!
 
The weekend in collages......
 
 
 
 
 
Sigh......to live on the Jersey Shore with this view off your front porch/balcony
