It rained a hell of a lot between 7am and 11am. Which kinda shattered my expectations of this being the best Derby ever.
But then the rain stopped and the racing was way better than I thought it might have been, the track was amazing considering the amount of rain that fell on it.
The Derby winner for 2008 is....
C'EST LA GUERRE

C'est La Who?
I was really not expecting that. But he bolted in! 4 lengths, the biggest winning margin in 10 years. Amazing performance!
He's now won 5 out of 8.
Best Derby ever? No. But I think it would be the 3rd best I've been to after Zonda in 98 and Xcellent in 04. Awesome day.
