Once Lil J got out of school, we head down to Del Mar. We were all very excited and anxious to see Desert Willow in her first race.
We had a great jockey riding her in the 3rd race with a 5pm post time. The she is in writing.
At the paddock, ready for race 3.
Desert Willow at the paddock. She's looking good.
We are ready for her to win!
The jockey.
She's ready to go.
We headed to the box to watch her run. Out the gate Desert Willow was dead last. She had a bad start. We all just wanted her to catch up to the back to the pack. She did that and ran her heart out. Next thing we knew she came around the corner and ended up winning! She won with 16 to 1 odds. A come from behind. It was an amazing race. We all got up and went to the winners circle.
Once we got photos taken they brought us up to the winners bar and we toasted and celebrated the win.
What an exciting day. It was a great way to end the week and begin our Labor Day weekend. Definitely a day we will never forget.
