Outer Banks Day 10

Went to Churchill Downs and took 8:30 Barn and Backside Tour. Saw horses training, including Derby hopeful Decisive Moment. Then took Historic Walking Tour. We saw stadium, winner's circle, paddock, etc. Both tour guides were impressed with J's knowlege. Museum itself was very well don. B liked the simulated betting (it even printed your ticket, then you watched a recorded race and scanned your ticket to see how much you'd won). The kids also liked the mock race where you were the jockey and the booth where you could call a race, then watch it back with your voice recording. After a trip to the gift shop (J scored big), we headed out around noon.
