Do you watch The Kentucky Derby?  

I will watch the race, as it's the only horserace, besides the rest of the Triple Crown, that I will watch all year!

Funny thing is, I'm a Maker's Mark Ambassador, and get an invite every year, but that when Bass Season's just about to open, and I am a fisherman by Nature...

This year's field of twenty horses is somewhat bothersome, as an accident is much more likely, early in the race and a crowded field can always, slow even a favorite, if the jockey decides to play it safe...

I think I'm going to go for the middle to longshots on this one. Make a few exotic bets, who knows?

Even my client, who is a horserace freak, is confused about this one!

Unfortunately I didn't realize the race was today. I worked this morning. When I finally got home, I ate lunch. Then I relaxed a little bit and loaded the car up and went fishing. so I missed the race entirely.

All the pre-race pomp and circumstance was a bit much. I bet on a 27-1 horse to show and if the race had been a smidge longer, he would have come in third. As it is he came in fourth. So, I am out 5 bucks.
I am pleased that they are reworking the surfaces so fewer horses get injured. The polytrack at Arlington looks very springy.
Since my husband discovered the horse racing channel on our cable system, I seem to be watching and hearing alot of races.

I watched the Kentucky Derby yesterday. I thought it was a pretty good race.

I really enjoyed the winner's victory lap. He was pumped.

I was happy that there wasn't any injuries to any of the horses.

Those horses are the luckiest horses in the world. They looked so well groomed well taken care of.

The Pomp and Circumstances was little much, but overall it was a good event.

i actually watched it for the 2 min and 20 sec that the race took. it was really nice. the jockeys really love their job. i have never seen someone so excited the way he was when he won.

I watched the Kentucky Derby. I just got home from Lexington Kentucky. I spent the last two weeks there. I went to Keenland and watched the live horse races. It's very exciting to see the horses up close and see them race. I guess I should have stayed in Kentucky a couple of more days and went to the Derby in Louisville. This is the first time I have ever watched the Derby. I can say if I hadn't of spent the last two weeks in Lexington I probably would not have been that interested in the Derby.

I always watch all the races. I was impressed by Street Sense and his come from behind victory.

I almost put a trifecta bet on the three finishers. Too bad I didn't

Maybe at the Preakness or Belmont...maybe.

Does anyone have a list of who is running this year in the Derby??? This year meaning 2008. I am an avid fan of the whole Triple Crown races and love to watch them on the TV. In my younger days, I used to ride race horses just to exercise them and actually did ride in one or two races. It is great thing to do.

Just haven't paid any attention to who is running this year.
