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.

*born and raised in Louisville PING* Get asked a lot "Have you even been to the Derby?". No I haven't, cause the last time I checked it was $40 just to get in the INFIELD...
...which will be a mess as always. It's tradition for the local paper to print out a map of the infield the day before, showing where the crazy college kids usually hang out. If it rains, I can almost bet there'll be a Slip and Slide made out of tarp there...
*LOL at the track conditions* EWWW...
Course I'll be watching this year. Not sure who I'm rooting for yet...

I have an affinity toward Pollards Vision too. A Mudder.
For those inclined to longshots, try picking all 18 in exact order of finish. $5MM prize at Http://www.kentuckyderby.com There are secondary prizes if for some strange reason nobody gets it exactly right.
The odds are astronomical... but why not try, for a free entry? I would pledge some of my winnings to the Freepathon.
Hard to hitch your wagon to a horse named "Imperialism", but I like that one too.

Ok, 3catsanadog, reporting for Derby duty!
I like Smarty Jones, Tapit and The Cliff's Edge (I think that's his name).
Any fillies running?

I hope that everyone knows that Freeper "Peach" has a horse in the Derby today by the name of Limehouse.

I'll take Pollard's Vision for sentimental reasons and Limehouse because a local stable here trained that horse.
