Have a good time. I did the derby once....it was the year Easy Goer and Sunday Silence locked horns. I took a bus load down there, and froze my butt off. It SNOWED on derby day. Although, I still have vivid memories of the passed out drunk real or pseudo scotsman in his kilt (and I can tell ya what he had on under it too!).... I dunno....the crowds....visibility was terrible (infield), weather was bad....call me a wimp, but I'd rather watch it on TV and do Churchill on a non derby day.

To tell you the truth.. I cant watch horse racing since Barbaro!!
I'm really tired of all the horses dieing in the sport, such as Barbaro, and George Washington!
I love horses and I kinda of still like Horse racing, It just seems like horses keep getting more and more hurt!
