After a hurried preparing for the day, our first stop was Tucson, to fuel up on gas for the truck and Jack In The Box for our bellies :) We cruised on all the way to Prescott, which was our destination!
This is us! We can hardly contain our exctiement as our destination draws nearer!

Upon reaching the track, we discovered a sad thing indeed: we had missed the deadline to enter Dobby into the weiner dog races. Dobby was dissapointed, but he took the opportunity to take notes for next year. I loved meeting all the weiner dogs, & people just loved him! Random people wanted to pet him & take pictures of him, so he didn't mind one bit!
He particularly liked this shadey, grassy spot I let him lay in & drink water at.
These historic, fully restored starting gates were on display outside the grandstands. We just had to strike a pose!
Finally, excitement was in the air 100% as our big race finally began. We're the 4th one from the left & we were in front the whole way...
...until the 9 & the 10 horse caught up with us at the end. You cant see us that well, we're behind the 10 but before the 8 horses. This was taken about 20 yards before the finish line. We ended up 3rd!
After I hastily got me a tshirt from the gift shop (I get one from every track), we had dinner at Leff-T's steak reasturant in Dewey, and then we headed home.
