Grand National

This year's Grand National hats were green and brown.

We had an easy tailgate of sandwiches...

strawberries and Crab Chips...

with a fantastic railside view.


EAS & JCW

The Quinntessential Gentleman's tailgate was very impressive, complete with their "Off the Rails" specialty cocktail which was a combination of Pikesville Rye, half & half, lime and mint.

  9. I want that Grand national hat in green.
    I wish the MD steeplechase meets would book more than 3 races...makes the day seem to short....and My Lady's Manor at 1 race makes the drive from our place almost not worth it.
    Great photos as usual!!

  14. Love your dress and Blanton's--perfect for the occasion! Did you know the horse figurines on the tops are collectibles? You can buy them all to make a full set!
