I like the racing at Saratoga Springs in New York the best. A lovely spot in August.

I do love horses though, as I love all animals. I had a friend in high school who rode from the time she was very young. (She is now my investment advisor!) There is something special about them. They are beautiful, amazing and majestic creatures. <br /><br />I'm looking forward to the Kentucky Derby, and thank you for the Mint Julep recipe, Beth.
