Horse Racing
We decided to participate in the Horse Racing on Serenade by purchasing a horse. All six horses are auctioned off to the highest bidder. Dave ( our gambling expert) helped us buy the first horse. All those who contributed from the group received an extra name tag as a horse "part owner." The horse was named NUTZ SO FAST", which was what he turned out to be.
When you buy a horse, you get to possess it for the week. You decorate it and personalize it with whatever you want. You also take the horse wherever you go on the ship..........dining room.........lounges.....pool deck , etc.
We decorated it with our special mascot as the jockey....the infamous PURPLE MONKEY. ( more on him later)
The final race of the cruise is the OWNERS RACE. What makes this race special is that all the money from the horse auctions is the winners purse. You can win a chunk if you are lucky.
Mercy was our jockey for the race.
It all looked good...we were ready to win....but fate was against us and we did not win. However, we had fun with the horse for the week.
