Hey, it's Derby Day. That's a time when people do crazy things, like staying up very late to mark up the pp's with multi colored markers or getting up very early to watch Breakfast At The Downs. They pay amounts for parking at Churchill that they wouldn't pay in midtown Manhattan, or start drinking mint juleps before most folks finish their morning coffee. They all rise to sing one of the most depressing songs ever written as a way of continuing the festivities. They even try to pick the top 8 finishers in a 20 horse race when most would have bragging rights for the entire year if they picked just the top one. Surely we can also be wild and crazy by playing the full race card on this race day.
