It looks like we might be looking at wet and sloppy track conditions. Rain may come down heavy and some horses have never been in the mud. Lookin' at Lucky is good example. His trainer Bob Baffert said that the horse has never had mud in his face before. So, he doesn't know how his horse will handle those conditions. Whereas your #3 pick Paddy O'Prado is supposed to be a very good mudder.

The overhead shot they've been using from the blimp is one of the coolest things to see on the TV coverage of the Derby. That really gives you an new appreciation for the skills of those jockeys.

Having been on island once before on Derby day, surfice it to say that I wish we were going to be watching it at Skinny Legs. They have a helluva good Derby party! Oh well, we'll be there next week.

They are calling for 4-7 inches of rain tomorrow in Louisville for the Derby. Sunny and 82 today for the Oaks. If you dont like the weather in Louisville wait 5 minutes it will change.

I'm betting on the blue horse with the green silks this year. It's going to be a wet track, and he looks like a mudder. Happy Derby, y'all! Hope your horse wins!

No kidding! My 13 year old son picked right. I lost money all weekend, but we had fun. We went to the Oaks on Friday, but not the Derby on Saturday...actually a good choice weather-wise this year! It was beautiful Friday, nasty Saturday. Here is a very fuzzy iphone pic, taken as we were entering. Our friends took more with real cameras, but haven't sent them to me yet. If there are some good ones of the races, I'll post them too.Image
