Hey, it’s Kentucky Derby week. A little like Mardis Gras, but with horses. The days preceding the big dance are a mixture of anxiousness, unbridled optimism and general nervous laughter.
Here on the Churchill Downs backside, under the shadow of the twin spires, thousands of people assemble around a bunch of keyed up thoroughbreds in close proximity. It’s all good. It’s Derby week.
Every horse is doing great and all is going according to plan according to every trainer, and the wise guys swap steam while peering through binoculars.
With the waiting game on, we watch, for it’s only Wednesday…
Stay tuned…
