And They're Off...

After spending about 6 years in Kentucky (3 of those in Louisville), I'm used to getting excited for the Kentucky Derby. Today is Kentucky Derby 131 at Churchill Downs in Louisville.

I know very little about the horses, jockeys, trainers, or favorites this year. But we gained great respect for the history and pagentry of the race. We even lived on a street named "Mint Julep" while in the bluegrass state.

If you have a chance today, turn on the tube and enjoy something different. Post time is 6:04pm eastern. Don't be late! These guys are fast.

I was surprised to hear that the University of Kentucky moved the graduation ceremony from Saturday to Sunday morning and afternoon because of the Derby. Apparently, the horse race is much more popular than worship at a local church.
