Ah yes, it is, once again, that time of year. The Kentucky Derby is this afternoon and we all stand ready for what is called, "the most exciting two minutes in sports." Whether that's true or not, or whether it can even be called a sport at all, is totally irrelevant. It is an excuse for yuppy debauchery of the highest order and I for one love it.
Big Brown is my horse all the way. I happened to watch the Florida Derby at the prestigious Ocala Jai Alai Fron-Ton and was more than impressed with the beast's performance. If he didn't have such a boring horse-name he would be the perfect racing animal.
So this afternoon when those horses enter that final Churchill Down's straight away take a sip of your bourbon and pause briefly to think about all those big hat wearing socialites hopped up on Vicodin and booze throwing up on each other and appreciate the uniqueness of this equestrian event.
Happy Horse Racing!

Hey, fellow Gator here. Have you been down to Ocala Jai-Alai since the derby? I hear there's no more jai-alai or off-track betting, its just a big poker room now. Don't want to drive down there if I can't watch the races...
