Today is the day for the 138th annual Run for the Roses. The race is more than mint juleps, elaborate hats and the most exciting two minutes in sports. The Kentucky Derby boasts legends and stars, human and equine alike. You've Gotta Watch a few of the professionals involved in one of the most watched horse races of the year. We've collected videos profiling a top trainer, a jockey making a post-recovery comeback and the stud farm that welcomes the champions after they've won the race.
A very indulgent guide to Louisville

Why the 'Run for the Roses' is so special
Anybody, by some remote possibility, care to opine about the Derby?
No, not really. But thanks for asking!
*sigh* not me at 3:02 but thank you troll philip.
finally an article about a horse that i've been waiting for! if i can have an article about the good life of the poochies, i'll have no more wishes.
A man walked into a Florida bar with his alligator and asked the bartender:
"Do you serve lawyers here?"
"Sure."
"Good. One beer for me and a lawyer for my alligator."
Ahhhhh, thank you.
Good morning.
Good Morning banasy©
I wonder if they'll let this stay today. I already getting flack on the Timbuktu blog from our favorite troll.
Hope your day goes well.
The joke is lame...and so are you.
Watcha doin' ? Must be your c/p day, 'cause said the same thing on the other blog Must feel great to be so original.
The good life????There have been Derby winners that were sold to be slaughtered for meat once they were not longer valuable......And horse breeding creates a surplus of horses that are sold to slaughter.....
"Horse Slaughter Ban Lifted: Congress Reinstates Federal Funding"...from Huffington Post 11/29/2011.
Horse racing is not "exciting" nor "sophisticated". It contributes to suffering and death.......I recommend that anyone who "enjoys" a day at t he Derby check out photos of the manner in which horses are abused on the way to their deaths
Good Morning All, still no response to my umbrage to this organization. This customer is peeved!
@bobcat(iah)I am fantastic and so are you. The kid and I are at the border entry to Nogales and its a backup. Just might park on the US side and walk through. I'm being told to send love and hugs to you.

Well I see they deleted my response to you. Probably because I said Phhhhhhttt to them. They probably just have jacked jaws because they have to work on Sunday.
Bunches of love and hugs to you and TORI too.
