Any (horse) racing fans aboard other than The Admiral and I? Big day at Churchill Downs this weekend. 138th concecutive running of the Kentucky Derby! We wont be down in Loo'ville this year, but we will be hosting a pretty raucus KD part at our local boat club. We'll have an independant mutuel pool, (win , place, show, and exacta), mint juleps, a good crowd and a whole lotta fun.
About a month ago the local OTB (out ten bucks) took "future wagers" on this years derby...Its a real gamble, because if your selection doesnt get in you dont get your money back...anyway, I picked two...Bodimeister, who is the likely favorite, except I got 22 to 1 by betting so early! What a deal. I also have Take Charge Indy at 16 qto 1...another generous price. Hey, if it really goes my way, I have an exacta box with those two and Daddy Long Legs...
Anyway, anyone in or around Connecticut is welcome to join us, and Ill buy a mint julep for any brat that shows up. Inquire for details.
May The Horse Be With You!
