I see they're promoting the infield antics on both sides of the fence.

The Kentucky Derby is full of hope, optimism, risk and anticipation. It’s an experience of acceptable excess and is forgivably risqué—a place where you overeat, overspend and over flirt.

On the opposite end, Turn 1 offers a family-like picnic setting, great for all ages, far different from the Third Turn crowd. In between lies a vast sea of people with their territories roped off, wearing their best derby attire with their beverage of choice in hand.

Hey Dew if you were going to get them to cut and paste to make it look like you were hanging out with a girl on the website, you should have gone for Holly Madison. I think you could take that troll Chris Angel, right?

The girl I am next to is Caroline Smith, the other blogger on the website.

I don't know about that molester stache Dew has working ... but having Bittel Road ranked #4 right now is most disappointing. I know he could have found 20 or 30 horses currently stabled in Japan with a better shot at winning the Derby.

Two very good races at Gulfstream tomorrow for 3yr olds.

Watch out for Free Country.

Those rankings are based on a number of things, value being one of them. Bittel Road is a big price in Vegas right now, and ran well in the Cash Call. Turf is probably his game, I agree. If he fails to impress in a subsequent start on "non-turf", I'll remove him. And I have Brother Keith at #5 for God's sake.

And I don't have a stache. Full goatie, thanks. The shadows are playing tricks on you.

Well, at least he has the right horse ranked first right now.



The rest of the site redesign is totally gay. How much do we need to know about fashion and celebrities at the Derby?!?!?
