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!

Sigh......to live on the Jersey Shore with this view off your front porch/balcony
