Well, as the site's resident furry who dressed up as a horse, it's only right that I start this thread. But yes, welcome to Kentucky Derby weekend.

If you watched the prep races you'd see the crop was not great. Further Ado ran the best prep race in the Blue Grass but the rest of them were meh. I knew it would be a long shot. I did not think that long shot was Golden Tempo.

Yeah, though it's always fun to see the horses walk and all

I thought that was interesting reading how all but one of the horses in the race can trace lineage back to Secretariat.

Jaxson Darts GF was the main event I thought . And then the pictures of Eagle Cooper DeJean dating a Cowboy cheerleader attending the derby as well .

I knew Secretariat had tremendous influence in bloodlines but I never knew it was this big. Secretariat only fathered one outstanding horse, Risen Star who won both the preakness and Belmont. But his influence spread farther and farther as the generations go by.

It's quite the lineage

With a 23-1 long shot wining the derby forget about a Triple Crown

Is Ford still in Louisville ?

Is Ford still in Louisville ?

I thought they were in Detroit?

They had a huge factory presence in Louisville . It’s like GM has a huge facility in Arlington Texas

Oh, I didn't know that

Is Ford still in Louisville ?

Yes. A lot of giant warehouse operations in Louisville. It's a good central hub like Chicago, Ohio and the other surrounding states. I like Louisville and it's not just for the bourbon. It's a big city that feels like a small town. Still has that laid back Deep South atmosphere, but culturally is more similar to Chicago, St.Louis, and some of those early midwest cities.

I have loved the St Louis Arch forever and hear they have great Italian restaurants in that city . Be nice to visit it someday see the Arch .
