Today is the Kentucky Derby

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (127165) • United States 7 May 22

I hope the weather there is better than it is here. I've been to the local horse track a few times. Honestly I didn't really like it. I'm not into gambling and I was always nervous that one of the horses would break a leg and...

It was a wet sloppy day in Louisville, Kentucky for the 145th running of the Kentucky Derby. Despite the rain, the grounds were packed with colorfully dressed people and the hats. The hats are my favorite part of the Derby. The...

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (127165) • United States 4 May 19

Maximum Security, the favorite, was the first horse to cross the finish line at Churchill Downs but apparently there were objections about the performance as at least 2 horses paths were cut off by him. I missed the whole...

My horses lost at the Derby

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (127165) • United States 4 May 19

I bet the #8 and #14 horses: something with a T and Win Win Win. The 8 horse came in 4th. The race is being reviewed but I doubt that the stewards will change anything. In any case, there is no chance that either of my horses...

Found the Derby online

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (127165) • United States 4 May 19

I was trying to figure out the Firestick before. My husband was here earlier and fixed the VPN issue so it is working again. I have no clue how to really use it, though. You can get TV channels but I can't figure out how to...

Going out to place my Kentucky Derby bet later

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (127165) • United States 4 May 19

I've always watched the Derby even though I haven't ever bet on it. This year I'm doing things in reverse: I don't have cable so I won't be able to watch the race (unless I can find it online) but I am going out to place a bet!...
