Both walked into the circle with cell phones stuck to their faces. The man hung up but the woman kept right on talking through the whole thing including when the photo was taken.
I thought it was very disrespectful. There's just something old school about being able to stand with your winning horse and have your photo taken while showing your pride in being his/her owner. It's a proud moment captured in time and after you have spent all the money you win from the purse, you still have that great photo to stare at with admiration for years to come.
But now, in my photo, there's some b***h who felt it was more important to talk to Kathy about her shopping trip yesterday morning than it was to respect the horse and the other partners.
Am I just being an old grumpy fart? Or, should I have knocked the phone from her hands and stepped on it?

Just figure she's got bigger problems than you. If she can't enjoy the moment for what it is and feels compelled to get on her phone during the time in the winner's circle then she obviously doesn't know her elbow from her .....
