First part of the Triple crown coming up this weekend. Kentucky Derby starting it all off. Anyone going? Betting? Watching?

I wish I could go to one of these events. Looks like alot of fun.

My uncle was a jockey agent, even had Pat Day in his early years.

I got to spend a lot of time on the backside of the tracks; Kenneland was my favorite. Got to see Hialeah before it opened back up, it was a ghost of a track. But man you could almost feel the history in the air; gorgeous place. Never made it to the Derby though. Would have loved to.

I'm what you would call a casual fan but I'll be watching. Racehorses are awesome athletes.

That's pretty cool you got to hang out at the racetracks.

Anyone watch the Preakness? I'll Have Another has won the first 2 legs of the Triple Crown now winning the Preakness in the same fashion as he won the Derby and catching the same horse. Very exciting race.
