The Great Derby Paradox

[rpncaine]

I also enjoyed the NBC coverage (sans Costas). My mom, wife and son didn't even bitch about it being on every TV in the house :-) and were invested in the races all afternoon. I noticed several Facebook friends that I never thought would be interested that also enjoyed/commented about the race. Some even said my posts and also the wife's posts peaked their interest. One actually opened a Twinspires account and hit the exacta. Not to jinx it, but if Orb can make a Triple Crown run, it will really peak the interest. Hell I sit on an isle at work with a lot of traffic and I get people who stop by that I don't know who want to talk horses. The interest is there in a lot of folks, we just have to mine it.
