“”””I’m sure Larry knew all eyes would be on him to see who was on his arm for the Derby, wonder if that is why he took his sister?”””
My guess is that he took his sister because DL is too young, he has no girlfriend and his Dad is ugly.
Hmm, they really were teasing about the “blonde date” on ET, then, weren’t they? Judy’s not blonde by any stretch of the imagination, altho there are some angles and lighting situations where her highlights make her hair look much lighter than it is.
On the other hand, he *was* with a pretty blonde girl with long caramel-colored hair today in a suite at the Derby. It was just a brief pass with the camera, kind of sweeping around the room after talking with Jenny McCarthy and Jerry O’Connell and maybe a dozen others.
They just panned to the right before interviewing the next person and there was Larry over kind of away from everyone, with this pretty girl, definitely his date, no one else anywhere around them. They didn’t talk to him or even point him out, which I thought they would later - it was an Access Hollywood person who was doing some of the voice-over - but they never did.
It was a great Derby! I would’ve won a little bit with the exacta I *woulda* bet, lol, because of Street Sense’s longer odds. Hard Spun came way up at the last, so I that was my 2nd in the box, but it was gonna be Curlin till I changed it. Curlin in a 1-3 exacta would’ve paid well, but I didn’t know if you can do that and I woulda had to be a psychic.
I was going to throw in a triboxa with “NoBizLikeShoBiz” (because of this thread!) and another with Dominican (cuz I always like nuns’ horses), but glad I wasn’t actually betting!
*Dat jockey whut won be tres coonie!* So happy for the TX trainer and the Cajun jockey - I wasn’t sure how I would feel about the running this year, because of Barbaro’s story. I kept away from wistfulness and missed all major mentions - but the documentary on Bobby comes on in 30 minutes. I’ll watch and cry then.
Would love to know who the Queen bet on! She’s staying in Lexington with our homeboy Will Farish, who was also with her and Phil in the box. I always wondered where you’d put the Queen of England when she’s visiting! Out news said WIll did go up toe the window with a bet, but it might have been his own. Don’t think he had a “horse in this race,” tho.
I loved the color of Liz’s outfit. Couldn’t quite figure out the reasoning behind the reddish-orange wrapping on the apple green hat that matched the duster, but it worked! Maybe the dress underneath had the coordinating colors in it. I kept thinking “watermelon” - lol, just needed a few black seeds on top.
Wonderful Rose Run, this one - missing you, Barbaro!
