I love watching The Kentucky Derby; there's so much electricity in the air! Know what I mean? 
So, which horse do you like? http://www.kentuckyderby.com/2008/
Have you ever been to The Derby in person?
This is just for fun; no monetary bets, please.
I'll post my pick later.
Mike

Anybody going? I got a buddy who's house burned down last week, and he is living in the hotel 21 C. I case you didn't know this is the hotel that pretty much all celecrities go too. He is so freaking lucky!  |

Only about 5 hours to go!
If a young horse gets laryngitis, and can't speak, do we say it's a little hoarse?

My dad went out yesterday for the Oaks it it was great for him. I have never been to any big races, just random ones I go to with friends. I have my dad bet for me since I'm too young. It's so fun in the infield. |

Something we have in common: you're less than a mile from Churchill Downs, and I'm less than a mile from Aqueduct Racetack.
It's just about an hour 'till post time; anyone else wish to pick a winner?
I'm going to a friend's house to watch it; he has a giant TV.

She came in second, but as the jockey started to pull her up after she crossed the line, both of her front ankles suffered compound fractures. They euthanized her right there on the track.
