We went to Oaklawn today. It was an absolutely perfect day. 65 degrees with a breeze. Look at all the people!
The pretty horses going into the starting gate.
But, the real reason we hiked a mile from our parking place and battled thousands of drunks is right here:
Oaklawn is the only place around here that you can get decent oysters on a half shell. They are so good. I mean, I love, love, love oysters and these are the best. We both ate a dozen and shared a platter with french fries, catfish, shrimp, and fried oysters. Yummy.
After about 15 minutes this is what was left.
I did place a $2 bet on an 11 year old horse. I lost. Duh.
What do you think?
