You can't enjoy the Derby without the Julep's:
1 bottle Kentucky Bourbon
3 cups Fresh Mint Leaves
24 Fresh Mint Sprigs
6 Lemon Twists
Bring a half-cup of water to a boil. Remove from heat and add 1 cup of sugar. Refrigerate until cool. Pour bourbon into a 1-1/2 quart jar and add mint leaves. Cover and refrigerate overnight. Strain liquor into a pitcher and discard the mint. Sweeten to taste with sugar and water mixture.
Fill a julep cup or a Collins glass with cracked ice. Add infused bourbon and stir until glass frosts. Take a twist of lemon and rub it on the rim of the glass and toss it into the drink. Garnish with mint sprigs. Serves 6.

Rain has stopped up here. I am going out to pull some weeds before it starts in again.
I pick Imperialism. Since the track is wet, I think that the field will perform differently, and I am impressed with the trainer, a 21-year old woman with a winning record of 26%. Also, I would be tempted to bet on Pollard's Vision, simply out of sentiment.

OH? Lucky you!
It's something I've always thought I'd like to do at least once. Someday........
Don't think I've missed the calling of more than 1 race in 30 yrs. Nothing more exciting than hearing ,
