I went to the Derby in '93. My cousin was married to a horse trainer and he got us tickets. We were supposed to sit in the bleachers by the backfield by the stables but some miscommunication occurred and we ended up in the infield.

Don't have any idea why me or my family never got to the Derby beforehand.

My dad's brother moved to Louisville and set up law practice there after he got his degree and lived there till he died.

His daughter and her husband lived right across the street from Churchill Downs and made a small fortune every Derby Day letting people park in their yard.

Considering how passionate I was about horses and all, still can't figure out how I never got to the Derby till I was 42.

That's ok. I live in Indianapolis and I never saw the Indianapolis 500 until I was 27, and haven't been back since.

I prefer listening to it on the radio and doing outside work while listening.
