That video is hilarious !! From an insurance company none the less.
The Kentucky Derby is not just not another "Day at the races" it's an experience everyone should take during their lifetime. Sure the Breeders Cup and just about any Friday at Keenland during race time of the year is also a great experience. I dont think you'll find a more gorgeous race track than Keenland, Kentucky.
The Derby provides all that horse racing is about. It's the sport of Kings and on derby day if their are any Kings, they are at Churchill Downs dressed to the nines. Of course this year the Queen Of England was there along with a couple hundred celebrities ranging from Larry Birckhead to Payton Manning and Sela Ward.
This year was my first year in the "Infield" and If was 21 years old again it would have been the time of the my life. Naked drunk muddy women, fat naked men passed out in the mud, and a live football game that turned into a mud wrestling contest with both men and women alike. Plently of clothes got pulled off and most were removed voluntarily.
What a wonderful place to be when your 43 years old and dressed in pleated slacks and a starched Polo button down collar shirt.
I should have worn the desert Altamas.
For you women out their in PS.COM you'd enjoy the hats and the dresses. They range from down right funky to elegant.
Today was rather cloudy, spotted rain, and muddy track most of the afternoon. I've been to better day's and better races, but I've never left with more money in my pocket than I came with. This year was a first for me.
