Let's get Derby...
Mint Juleps in hand, bowties, large hats and Southern accents... today marks the 137th annual Kentucky Derby in Louisville, KY. Unfortunately, I couldn't join all the fine gents and ladies (164,858 in attendance - new record since 100th Derby) with my very own Lilly dress and floppy hat to sing "My Old Kentucky Home" before the race -- living on the other side of the country is a bit of a distance factor. However, I streamed it live from NBCsports.com like a true a fan while "attempting" to study my LSJ (Law, Societies, and Justice) notes at Odegaard Library.

And out of the blue.... ANIMAL KINGDOM takes it home!
funny... since most thought Dialed In or Mucho Macho Man would win the race, especially it was Animal Kingdom's first race on dirt.
Anywho... Congratulations to Animal Kingdom and his jockey, Johnny Velazquez!
