I am a Kentuckian (Proud and kinda tall). I have no betting tips for the Derby other than if it's a Grey horse "box it" (ticket to win place show) or save your money for hot dogs and $7 beers, the track will always come out ahead.
I will be enjoying a Mint Julep constructed with sugar water, alot of ice, and Old Charter 101. Rather than stand in line for the loo, i'll be at home watching it on t.v. with Donna Brothers and Bob Costas. Read Hunter S Thompson's "the Kentucky Derby is Decadent and Depraved" and skip the mud, and the blood and the beer.
