The Kentucky Derby presented by YUM brands!!

who cares who is a sponsor or what is being sponsored. it it still the ky derby no matter what. if you cant get by the sponsor then you are focusing on the wrong thing when it comes to the derby.

i prefer the bars on baxter more than the ones on 4th street live. the derby museum is a must. molly malones is awesome, o'malleys on 2nd street is fun as well. always plenty to do during derby week in louisville.

Im surprised Emirates didn't make a move to sponsor it. They seem to be sponsoring everything these days and are favourites to sponsor the Epsom Derby when Vodafone's spell runs out this year!

Something thats actually kind of funny, or sad, about this is that Yum! is actually having problems with their stock plunging right now. Between the e.coli in all the Taco Bells (don't remember where) and the rat infestation in one of their KFC/Taco Bells in NY, they're not doing too well.

Don't know about anyone else, but I'm not sure I'd want the Derby associated with disease and infestations. But, hey, that's just me!

The publicity is getting worse. The West Village(NYC) KFC was closed today because of rats! Yes, I said RATS! The tape shows it all. KFC is despicable anyway.

sponsers bring in all kinds of money. just like in other sports with naming rights of stadiums and tracks.

Here is a sickening deja vu. In the 1970's I lived in a suburb of Newark, NJ. There was a KFC a few miles from me. I never ate there, but I remember it being closed because a customer bit into a fried piece of rat!!!!

For several years, the first two classics of the English season, the Guineas races at Newmarket, were sponsored by an insurance company with an infelicitous name. How would you like the "General Accident Kentucky Derby?"

The REAL Derby was sponsored by a battery company for a while - and somehow the 'Eveready Derby' didn't sound so bad.
