With horse racing in such a decline for so many years, I'm surprised this race still draws so many.
I went to the Derby once. Most people I saw were there for the party. Partying is still extremely popular.
And if lucky it will hit 60 today as a high temperature with all clouds—if there is wind that will feel miserable.
LOL the next 7 days forecast to be beautiful with sunny skies and highs mostly in the 70s-80s.
Guess the old man up high doesn’t like betting.
I love this race. Such beautiful tradition. The hats of the Southern Belles, strawberries and cream, mint julips, Kentucky hot brown...and of course the race itself which is almost an afterthought.
