It was an outdoors weekend for me. Saturday I was weeding in shorts and sunscreen; Sunday I spent in the downpour at the Fair Hill Point-to-Point in Maryland. Yes, we certainly needed the rain, but what a shame that it had to choose Sunday.
Still, I saw lots of nice die-hard and still cheerful racing fans (it was as if Unionville just relocated south of the Mason-Dixon Line for the day), watched Ivan Dowling on Sally Reed's Monsooned Malabar win the very exciting Roy Rector Memorial Heavyweight Race, and had an excellent lunch prepared by Buck's Restaurant/Blue Marlin Catering of Rising Sun, MD (crab bisque, crabcakes, chicken marsala, pasta salad, green salad and chocolate mousse). So sad that the carriage parade got rained out, though.
One friend put it perfectly: "We are wet, but we are proud supporters of Fair Hill Races and
all the people who work so hard to put it together and ride in the
pouring rain!!"
