@ Phar Lap Raceway

Yesterday, we all went to Phar Lap Raceway (so named because the famous racehorse, Phar Lap, was born just a couple of miles down the road from our house). Margaret was the on-course Doctor there for the day, just in case one of the jockeys fell off his mount! I got the kids "Kiddies Lucky Numbers," this involved Jamie choosing the number of a horse, & numbers were chosen for Zoe & Ben. If the horse came in first, the child got a chocolate bar/a roll of Wonka fruit tingles. We kept on getting the kids' lucky numbers, 'til each child had won a prize...only took 6 races! :)
