	Hawthorne Racecourse Stickney, IL, Winter/Spring, 2011
	Bucking Horse Meet Miles City, MT, May 15, 2011
	Time Out: Rodeo! Choteau, MT, July 4, 2011
	Arlington Park Arlington Heights, IL, July 10, 2011 More of the same Illinois woes of short fields. How depressing. I took my camera, but the only photo worth taking all day was of the llama in the petting zoo, for the benefit of McChump #2. I doubt you want to see that. Pretty much a ho hum, forgettable day ... with the exception of "char dog"! Arlington Char Dog! Yes folk, the most godawful creation ever served at a fast food stand at any racetrack anywhere (and remember, I've been to Beulah, and Suffolk)! No real "char" at all, but the same sorry limp grayish boiled dog as their regular dogs, smothered in a gooey sweet bbq sauce with big hard tooth-cracking chunks of months-old bacon throw on for good measure. Yeeeccchh. A definite "do not buy". Ever. Ever ever.
