After spending about 6 years in Kentucky (3 of those in Louisville), I'm used to getting excited for the Kentucky Derby. Today is Kentucky Derby 131 at Churchill Downs in Louisville.
I know very little about the horses, jockeys, trainers, or favorites this year. But we gained great respect for the history and pagentry of the race. We even lived on a street named "Mint Julep" while in the bluegrass state.
If you have a chance today, turn on the tube and enjoy something different. Post time is 6:04pm eastern. Don't be late! These guys are fast.
