Why I love Fark.com >>

As luck would have it, a friend of ours, Michael Hogan, owns a couple of race horses.  This past Sunday my wife (her story here) and I went out to Portland Meadows to watch his latest horse, Nova Ice, run.  She's a beauty and won her fourth straight race.  And, to our amazement, we were invited into the winners circle for the post-race picture.

The official picture took in the winners circle.



From left: Jonathon (The Trainer), Mark, Sandy (Ethan's wife), Ethan, Me, Nikki (my lovely wife), Doug (our neighbor and avid gambler), Marie's landlord, some gambler we met, Marie (Michael's better half), Mike (the owner), some strange man making out with the horse, and last but not least, the Jockey Juan.



Congrats Mike and Marie... and thanks for the invite, we had a great time.
