I moved to Louisville 6 months ago but because I have a wife and 2 year old and know no one else in the city, I have not done any derby events at all. It's crazy how much the city shuts down for derby weekend and the few weekends before. I do have some Woodford Reserve Kentucky Derby 141, which is pretty tasty, and I've been watching the last hour or so of coverage. I'd like to go to the Oaks some time, I hear that's the race for the locals.

I will have a house by next year's Derby, and I will invite any Louisville local folks to come watch with me.

I expected more out of Johnny Weir's outfit.

I thought he was wearing his pajamas.

They updated the lyrics so it's not quite as racist!

LOL, the same guy wrote the state song for Florida and they had to do the same thing.

I think they opened a new section close to the track, so I think that's why it is a record attendance.
