i plan to be in there place one day. it’s one of those things i’ve always thought would be a blast.
WTF do you think Barbaro and Eight Belles were? I don't hate you. I detest ignorant people like you who pontificate about that which they know nothing about. I'm guessing you prefer car racing where people are killed instead of horses. At least us horse racing folks don't attend hoping to see a big pile-up.

The Derby is the 11th race at Churchill.
The Ledger in NJ, had a run-down on the different horses, along with can/can’t win comment. For “Flying Private” (50-1) ———He can win because: In horse racing, you have a shot if you’re in the gate. -—— He can’t win because: The horse is too slow.
LOL! I’m for Flying Private!
I wish all those stupid hats would just go away! Whatever happened to just a gracious Southern lady protecting herself from the sun with a wide-brimmed hat. Where will the breaking point be?
‘Flying Private’ is a great name for a horse. Sometimes ya just gotta take a $2 bet on a lark...
OK, tease me once, shame on me, tease me twice, shame on you.
No but really, thanks for the pics. Looks like everyone’s having a great time despite the gloomy wet weather. The mint juleps must help with that.
Thanks. Gulp! Ahhh very refreshing!
She’s fabulous!
Could someone please tell me when the race will start?
I’m going with Dunkirk......nice thread BTW, thank you.
