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).

I will go to the OTB place some bets on the entire day. Go home and watch for quick results on Equibase and slowly toss each ticket in the trash.

The amount of clueless rude people on Derby Day is infinite. Just another opportunity for them to be drunk and stupid. Not to mention the ones that are betting on the Derby for 50 people throughout the day. That's just the way it is so I choose to avoid it at all costs.

Sometimes I go over to someone else's and watch the Derby but normally I prefer to yell at my TV.

Home on the couch.

It's amateur day at Tampa Bay Downs and I think I will pass on it this year.

This will be the first time since 1990 I haven't been either at TBD or Churchill.

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 !
