This is a hodgepodge of stuff.
Video may be added, deleted, changed around. I have a little video of the York River Concert Band I want to get in here, some video of Sheldon Russell and Rosemary Homeister etc, presented with no rhyme or reason, mainly for future reference.

More than horse racing at Colonial Downs this weekend.
Former Attorney General and Republican candidate for Governor of Virginia Bob McDonnell was there to get some votes.
Interesting place for him to show how up, given that the Colonial Downs racetrack is out in the wilds of rural New Kent County, in a sparsely populated area. It is, however midway between the voter rich Tidewater area and the Richmond, so there was some logistical logic to his decision I rechon.
Christie Black (Miss Virginia United States) and Liz Barker (Miss Teen Virginia) made the scene at Colonial Downs, meeting the folks and posing with winning jockey James S. Vail.
and a lady sang "Take Me Out to the Races" at Colonial Downs. I love the body language as she belts out the word "ponies". I couldn't catch her name over the old time PA system at Colonial Downs, but I understand this young lady is the last person to sing the national Anthem at the Diamond, the ill fated minor league ballpark in Richmond Virginia that has been the center of so much controversy since the Atlanta Braves farm team split the city in a huff last year.
Coming up, more on the Rosemary Homeister/Sheldon Russell battle for top jockey honors and a cut from the York River Concert Band.
