Derby Day

[wytex]

Anyone else watching and imbibing today?

What is your favorite bourbon for a mint julep ? I'm gonna try some Single Barrel Garrison Brothers, but Maker's Mark is hard to beat. Can't get Woodford Reserve at my favorite watering hole.
No fancy hat for me.

I wonder how dry the track is

I'll be spending the day taking the dogs swimming, fishing, and putting new shocks on my truck. Might take the bow out this evening.

As the son of an equine vet, I've spent quite a few of my younger days at various tracks. Family tradition dictates a watching of the triple crown, oftentimes calling my mom to remind her to turn the channel over to nbc to watch the race.

Sloppy weather the whole week, but the special soil and drains will at least make for a safer surface to run upon. Each jockey will need a whole bunch of mud glasses.
