I had to spend about 3 weeks out of every month working up in Louisville some years back. Had to do it for about 9 months straight. I was seeing a girl whose parents lived literally right across the street from the track. Their house had a huge upstairs balcony / porch thing built onto it just for "Derby". They just refer to it as "Derby" up there,,, and let me tell you,,, that country-fied city parties DOWN during Derby. They talk about it all year long.

I got to go to one during my time working up there. It was almost as much fun as the girl I was seeing. It was a cool experience though for sure. After the race the party continues throughout the night.

A word of advice if you go... I'd pass on the mint julep. Nasty as hell.


I have no idea what horse to bet on, but I did hear that one of them is named something like "Fear the Kitty" :sly: ... I'd throw a few down on that one.

"Maker's" on the rocks usually IMA Jack guy but Derby calls for "Maker's"

Was a good one. I guessed 1st and 2nd place but lost out on 3rd. No money bet.

Well, my picks finished 3rd and 4th, just close enough to piss you off if you bet it.

And thanks for the info George. I think I'll try and do it some year soon.
