Kentucky Derby

If you like horse racing, and even if you don't, the Kentucky Derby is one event that is worth watching. The 139th "Run For The Roses", as it called and first leg of the "Triple Crown" of horse racing is Saturday. Women wearing large brimmed hats, the playing of "My Old Kentucky Home", all with the backdrop of historic Churchill Downs in Louisville add to the magic. R

I’ll Have Another won the 138th running of the Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs in Louisville on Saturday.

Kentucky Derby fans know that the action in the stands is just as exciting as the actual race. We’re talking, of course, about the elaborate fashions and over-the-top hats.

Whether you love horses, or just want to see the big hats (hey, wait a minute, didn't we see big hats last week at the Royal Wedding)?, it's almost post time for the 137th running of The Kentucky Derby.  Churchill Downs in scenic Louisville, Kentucky is the setting for the "Run for the Roses", the first leg of the triple crown which takes place today.

One of our favorite sporting events in the McShea household each year is the "Run for the Roses" - The Kentucky Derby.  Tomorrow is the 137th Kentucky Derby at historic Churchill Downs in Louisville, Kentucky.  Don't ask me for tips, but one tradition that you may be interested in is mint juleps.

The Kentucky Derby is more than just a horse race, and I know it will be on our TV in the McShea household.  The Derby, the first leg of  "The Triple Crown" will take place on Saturday, May 7th at Churchill Downs in Louisville, Kentucky.
