Kentucky Derby 135

I was in Louisville, Kentucky this past Saturday.  I didn’t make it to the Derby, but I did partake in the action.  I just read my friend’s blog – now only if I read her post before the race, I could be doing pretty well.  She picked the #8 horse, Mine That Bird.  Check out her blog post.

I can’t believe the 51-1 shot pulled it out.  What a great story.  Mine That Bird cost $9,500 compared to the price of Dunkirk, $3.7 million.  Mine That Bird traveled all the way from New Mexico to be in the Derby.  He stole the show. Indeed.
