I was born and raised in Louisville, KY so the Derby has a special place in my heart. Sad to say, though, I am just barely following it this year. The favorite? I'm not sure. I would like to thank my Mom and her cousin Frances for keeping my collection of Derby Festival mini-posters current.The Derby is for out-of-towners and celebrities. Tickets can be had for the locals, but at a high price. Ed and I did attend two years ago thanks to my sister and her friend who obtained walking passes for the day. Just the third time I attended a Derby in my life.
The Oaks runs the Friday before the Derby and Oaks Day tends to be the day the locals can enjoy a day at the races. Another alternative, attend the fall meet as my family did the day after Thanksgiving last year. These pictures were taken from that visit.I hope everyone enjoys the Derby, the most exciting two minutes in sports!
