Kentucky Derby

[phigamucsb]

I can't wait for the Derby Saturday. In my opinion, it is one of the most exciting events in sports. I've got my money on Lionheart (c'mon, how great is that name). Anyways this is the one time of year I wish I lived in Kentucky.

I am so homesick right now for Louisville, I can't see straight. There is absolutely nothing as wonderful as Derby Week!

My brother is going for free. He took a job for some guy running for the House, and I think the Derby was offered to get him to take the job. I'm so envious, I have to watch on tv.

There are certain things I want to do before I die - and the Derby is definitely one of them!!!

Today is my favorite day to be a Kentuckian!

Way to go SMARTY JONES!!! Let's just say the Philadelphians who rarely give a crap about this stuff are loving it today

I was in home in Louisville on Derby Day, but not at the Downs. My sister was there though and got my capri's all muddy. I love being from Louisville during the two weeks leading up to the Derby, too bad I missed Thunder over Louisville this year.

Yep, how about Smarty Jones? This is one time when picking the horse with the best name worked!

[Jaggergirl]

lol... he's who I picked too! But I picked because he's never lost a race. Not so much on the name.

In all honesty, I would have loved if Imperialism won. Just cuz I was rooting for that coach.
