It’s Derby weekend in Louisville. I have been to Churchill Downs, but not during the derby. It is a great place to see, with lots of obvious history and tradition. Pretty cool museum with 260 degree theater. And last time I was there I picked up an awesome necktie with the twin spires. OK maybe not so awesome if you don’t get what it is all about. Honey was in the infield one year. An experience she doesn’t seem eager to repeat. My brother-in-law works security there and has crazy stories. I am not a horse person, and know virtually nothing about it other than what I see on the TV, but, here are my picks for this 133rd running of the Kentucky Derby.
With my first bet, I am betting on Sedgefield. Picked in the number 1, inside slot, technically it has a shorter route to the finish. The jockey has a nice pink “silk”. (They call it silk, every other sport on the planet calls them jerseys.) And, he is the long shot at 50-1. Gotta go with the underdog.
My second bet is going on “IMAWILDANDCRAZYGUY” he also is a very long shot, but he is a pretty color, and ……well I admit, he gets my pick on name alone.
So, now I wonder if I can place a bet somewhere?
