Townsville Amateur Horse Races

Saturday, August 23rd, a few of us decided to go to the Townsville Amateur Horse Races. This was my first time ever going to a horse race, and it was a great time. The days before the race, my dad was teaching me how to bet on horses! I ended up betting $56 for my dad, and he won $50 back. I also bet $12 for myself, and didn't win anything :( but it was worth the experience. It was such a great time. A lady sat down next to us, and began talking with us. She told us how she was from New Zealand, and that her husband owned one of the horses that were racing. She began telling us what to do in New Zealand and where to go when we go, so that was great! It was such a beautiful day for the horse race. I am so glad that we went! Even though we felt a bit underdressed, because everyone was wearing heels and hair pieces/hats, it was still awesome!
