The Gold Cup

Instead of going to Carnival in Trinidad, I ended up going to the Gold Cup Horse Race in Barbados. Thousands of people attended the big race and it was exciting to watch it dressed up Kentucky Derby-style, ie. with a big hat and pretty dress. Though I didn't bet on the horses, I chose "Show Me The Money" to win because I liked his name. The race went by fast on the small track with sharp turns and my horse won. At least for a few minutes. He was disqualified for interfering with another favorite, "Apostle", and "Zoom", a Bajan horse trained by the brother of a friend ultimately won.
