Two of the Most Exciting Minutes in Sports.

Kentucky Derby Day is here… one of my favorite days of the year, and the beginning of the Triple Crown of Thoroughbred Racing. Never do I miss watching all three races; albeit, via television.

Ever since going to Ruidoso Downs for live racing many years ago, and then moving back to Hawaii, television has been my only/preferred choice for watching what to me are the most spectacular events of the year… The Triple Crown races!

Would I buy a big new hat and fancy outfit to go watch the Kentucky Derby live and drink Mint Juleps at Churchill Downs? You bet! But today I will have to settle for watching the race on television and making my own Mint Juleps… with the Churchill Downs Mint Julep recipe.

Pyro and Big Brown seem to be favorites at the moment.

I heard this morning that one of the horses had to be euthenized there on the track. Tragic. I don't watch much TV. I get my news from the internet and the radio.

I've been a "closet" horse racing fan for years. I've watched quite a few races... read articles... and like the million or so people read "Seabiscuit" but I've never attended one in person. I've got to put that on my "things to do" list.

Michael, I think you should turn on the tube to watch the Triple Crown races!

Chuck, I hope you get to the races soon. And thank you for visiting me.
