Today was Derby day at Santa Anita Park and my mom and I went to cheer on our favorite Kentucky Derby Contenders. The Santa Anita Derby is one of the most important races to determine which horses get to race in the Kentucky Derby. It was a slightly overcast day which made it pretty comfortable with the huge crowds. We got seats in the Club House Loge area which is now my favorite area at Santa Anita. We really enjoyed it and had a great day. The favorites to win were Colonel John and El Gato Malo. Colonel John, ridden by Corey Nakatani, ended up winning followed by Bob Black Jack and Coast Guard. We got a wonderful spot at the walking ring before the race started and as you can see, I had some fun taking pictures. :-)
