Toby Keith has/had a horse named Rendered Judgement in the race. I'm rooting for him.

If you're goin' through hell, keep on going.
Don't slow down. If you're scared don't show it.
You might get out before the devil even knows you're there.

Sandman because I’m a Metallica fan. And never bet on the grey.

Love watching these gals in their finest dresses and hats and then with mud boots on. That track is a sloppy mess.

Journalism.



"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible."
-- Justice Janice Rogers Brown

Wink Wink They’re all just 1 horsepower. (Seinfeld had a great routine about h.p. and related it to the space shuttle engines).

I don't know crap about the derby, but my teenage son now has girlfriend (recent development) and he told my wife today that he was going to dinner at a local country club with her family to watch a "demolition derby." My wife told him, "You mean the Kentucky Derby? Yeah, that's not what you think it is."

Her family is apparently kind of wealthy, and pretty classy. My son is a blue-collar hillbilly who shoots guns, eats frogs, and drives a beat up S-10.

I'm looking to forward to hearing how tonight goes Big Grin.

All 19 horses racing today, the 151th KY Derby, are descendants of Secretariat.

Wow.

Link

All 19 horses in Saturday's 151st running of the Kentucky Derby are descendants of the great Secretariat, according to a report by the Louisville Courier Journal. A search of pedigrees found that each horse has some relation to Secretariat, who set the fastest Derby time ever in 1973 on his way to the Triple Crown.

Secretariat sired more than 660 registered foals in his lifetime, with several such sires or dams showing up in each Kentucky Derby horse's pedigree. While most present day race horses have an all-time great somewhere in their pedigree, it worked out this year that every single horse has some link to Secretariat -- whether through Weekend Surprise, A.P. Indy, Terlingua, Storm Cat or others.

The horses in this year's Derby vary from fourth to seventh generation descendants of Secretariat, who was bred from 1974 until his death in 1989. The last of Secretariat's sires were born in 1990.

Just the legs. But yeah, he does. Catches, cleans, and cooks them himself, too!

He got home late and I had already gone to bed but I got up for a few minutes to ask him how it went. He wasn't too impressed with the Derby, but apparently her dad has his pilot's license, so they spent two hours talking about airplanes. At least he hit it off with her dad!

I attended years ago with a college buddy from Louisville. It is quite the experience. Beats the Rose Bowl parade hands down. Besides the beautiful horses you rub up against some of the wealthest people in the world.

Kentucky Derby Festival the two weeks leading up to The Kentucky Derby. Thunder over Louisville one of the largest fireworks displays in the nation along with the air show as the kick-off. Then you have the Mini Marathon, Great Ballon Race, the Derby Parade, River Boat Race, the Chow Wagon with all the concerts, food and beer garden. All the party's and gatherings.

For years I worked security, and driving work, from bus driving shuttles, to some limousine type work. Haven't done that in a few years.

The celebrities, most that I have met were assholes. Some were Surprisingly very cool/nice.

Funny thing is, never been in Churchill Downs on Derby day, worked outside the gates, but never inside. Been inside on other days but never Derby.
