On Saturday I actually did get home in time to see the Kentucky Derby! After I got out of the closet (once we were out of the tornado watch)! It was an AWESOME race! I don't know how many of you like watching horse races, but seriously it was a good one! Mine That Bird won - he was in LAST place and came back to win by a long shot! It was the second biggest upset in Derby history! He was 50-1 odds - which is crazy!! When they bought him, he only cost $9,500.00!!! No telling how much he is worth now, although he is a gelding so he won't be making any babies... so maybe he won't be worth so much...
Okay, obviously I was really excited about this race :) I just love listening to all the stories behind the horses and their owners. So many of these owners and trainers are just regular people who just happened to get this great horse in the Derby. You can't help but get excited when the announcer starts rambling all the names of the horses as they are going around the track!
Hopefully we'll have a Triple Crown winner this year!
