Until recently I thought I had the entire 90 minute telecast of every Kentucky Derby since 1986.

Ironically, the other night I went searching for the 1996 Grindstone derby after catching a recent feature video of him.....I think on bloodhorse.com

Turns out, I don't have the 1996. But thinking about it, I was between wives in that period.

I must have been busy with other things....
