Ascot

Last Friday our class went to Ascot, and it has been my favorite field trip so far! I loved getting to see all the crazy hats and all the people dressed up. We had tickets for the Grandstand section of course (the lawn right by the tracks for those who don't know) so we got to get a very close view of the horses as they raced by. I was not expecting to be as excited about the races as I was! It was so fun to watch. I also picked the winning horse both times I bet! Asyad and Khomino beat the odds against them and I won 37 pounds after only betting 3! Overall it was a great day. 

My winnings! I'm sure the Brits were weirded out by how excited I was about this.

One of the horses!
