Summer Events

As the summer winded down the firm in California took me out to a couple more events. The last events were some of my favorites. The first was the Del Mar Horse Races. I had never been to a horse race before, and it was a lot of fun to see everyone dressed up for the big event and watch the horses race. The biggest upset of the day was Czecher, who won despite 29:1 odds. FYI: the lower the odds the more likely the horse is to win. Generally, the winner is 3:1 or 3:2, so to win with 29:1 odds was a big deal. So here's a few of the pics from the horse races:

While the races were fun, my favorite event of the entire summer was sailing just off the Pacific. The firm took us to a sailing school where they gave us a crash course and then we started racing. Thanks to our skipper our boat took first 3 out of 4 times.
