Dollar Night

Horses used to occupy large chunks of my life, yet I'd never been to a horse race.

Turns out, the racetrack is the perfect melting pot of all my vices.

Especially on Friday nights when admission, beer, hot dogs, and bets all cost $1 and Super Diamond, a Neil Diamond cover band, plays between races.

Here's a few highlights*

The insider tips.



The thrill of victory.



The crush of defeat.



The ridiculous background jam sessions.



The soggy, technicolored nachos.



And this guy.




*Had I been in charge of the camera, this post would include actual pictures of the actual horses.
