It's gonna be a great show and one of the best Derbies since I've started watching racing.
Going to be one hell of a race to handicap too. Hope all stay on track to get there

Looking forward to attending this year. Haven't gone since Pat Day brought Lil E Tee home in the race he had a devil of a time winning. A really slow Derby. 2:04 and change. Think I had Arazi.

Was in the infield and it was too much fun sneaking liquor past the screeners. We had a cooler full of unopened cans of Hawaiian Punch and Grapefruit juice. Meanwhile, we poured 2 gallons of vodka over the ice. Looked like water. The screeners inspected all of the juices to make sure they weren't opened, but paid no attention to the liquid in the cooler. When got in we just poured all the juice right into the cooler and scooped up the grog. No way we were paying $8 for a beer or whatever it was. I was in my early 20s.

This year: Grandstand. But I will cast a sentimental eye on the infield.
