    I hope Secretariat wins.

    I will give you generous odds. How much would you like to bet?

    I try to watch all the triple crown races every year but especially the KY Derby. I love all the pageantry and everything that goes with it. If I were ultra rich I would definitely be in to the horse racing scene. But I am just a normal, maybe not to everyone, pick up truck driving 2nd amendment loving kind of guy and I am very happy to be that.

    Awesome spectacle. The infield parties are not for the meek. Been there once, 😜

    Years ago a coworker told me his group went every year

    I ask why what so great

    He said a lot of the people never see the racing or even go for it

    As stated, it was a huge free for all anything goes and does , party around the place and i will leave it at that

    As for the actual event I can see how people get excited just like any other racing

    but it'sstill a millionaire hobby

    Like Camel racing in the arib country's

    Big $$$

    …. Im a big horse fan, grew up with horses, love horses and like to watch 'em run… I always go down to the paddock when I go to the track, beautiful sleek, muscled animals… I watched all three races when Secretariat won the Triple Crown…last race at Belmont was unbelievable…Secretariat pulled Sham midway down the back stretch and never looked back…rounded the last turn by himself and won by twenty something lengths, wow, unbelievable!…beautiful horse, very special horse…I'll never forget the feeling that he gave me that day…Derby post time is about 30 min. away!…

    The trainer of Mystik Dan (Kenny McPeek) was also the trainer of yesterday’s Oaks winner, Thorpedo Anna . Talk about a great weekend.

    OH IT WAS A GOOD ONE!!!

    If I was a horse breeder, I'd cross a horse with a giraffe. No photo finishes with my guy! Always winning by a neck!

    I have 2 retired Arabian race horses... Nothing like watching them run.... I can still see Many running across the finish line with my mom having to practically hold on to me so I didn't fall out of the grandstands as I yelled Go Man Go!!! I would see him accelerate even faster.

    I've enjoyed the camel races in Virginia City, Nevada. Never watched a horse race.

    I just read that over $320 million dollars was wagered on the Derby yesterday. Broke the record that was set last year.
