Contemplating the horse race tip sheet ...at the annual Keeneland horse track spring races. Ah, which one is most likely to win? On the other hand, which one can my betting dollar win the most? Which one is the best balance between risk and gain? Who is going to win?

<b>Technical note</b>: This is a great lens. With the aperture wide open, this telephoto lens completely separated the subject from a dense crowd of spectators in the stands. The background crowd is rendered as colorful bokeh. I am using a Nikkor FTZ2 adapter.

Our Lady Justice was created by Augustus Caesar Yes, THAT <a href="https://www.history.com/topics/ancient-rome/emperor-augustus" rel="noreferrer nofollow">Augustus Caesar</a>.

With sword grasped in her right hand and a weight balance in her left, Lady Justice is what the British called her. Here, she is positioned above an American county courthouse. Before she was Lady Justice, she was Justitia, the Roman goddess of justice. We can thank Emporer Augustus for coming up with her and elevating her to a god. All Roman emperors loved to announce their love of justice to Roman citizens. Rome considered itself the apex of civilization, a society that dispensed just law and order. Justitia epitomized clearheaded thinking and fairness of the state in matters of legal judgment.

Before goddess Justitia, the concept of a goddess of justice came from ancient Egypt. <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lady_Justice" rel="noreferrer nofollow"> Wikipedia explains</a>, &quot;The personification of justice balancing the scales dates back to their goddess Maat, and later Isis, of ancient Egypt.&quot;
