Where are you watching the Derby?
We are one day away from Derby Day. Many of you will be right at the track. The rest of us either watch in the piece and quiet of our own home or go to a Derby Party. Maybe there's been a thread about this already, but I'm just curious how the rest my brothers and sisters in horse racing spend their DERBY DAY.
We have a big party at ESTREETS house. He has a big ole' deck and we have two or three TV's. Hickory Hoff stops over for a while with his MILLER BEER and cigars. The cell phones are in tow with calls going out every few minutes to various phone accounts. Last year it was chilly and windy. This year the forecast is sunny and pleasant. I hope everyone out there has a fun and profitable DERBY DAY!! Pat

At home.
 I'm planning a trip to the Derby when I finish my university studies though, but that won't be until 2011. But I have no doubt it will be worth the wait, I'm already saving up a little bit every month (NZ-USA flights aren't the cheapest).

At home on my 65 inch HD TV. Will go place my bets at the OTB early, then come home and watch ESPN HD and NBC HD for the rest of the day. We have the routine down now, go around 10:30 am, place bets, get our derby glasses and go home and enjoy as Mister B said alone and happy.
Got to hurry now, and hit the OTB for the Oaks. BTW, we have nice OTB's around NOLA, especially mine in Covington. Good Luck to all !

Home! Cozy, happy and with a nice little spread, right down to champagne.
And I plan on taking the phone off the hook at about 5:15. HATE those calls from friends who want to know who I like in the Derby with about 5 MTP.

from the comfort of my living room, just like every other year. tony said a while ago that we need to get a small tv, since he just realized that two weeks from now we'd be camping, and he doesn't want me to miss the preakness--such a sweetie!!
