Ok guys and gals dustoff your best seersucker suites and wide-brimmed hats. On Saturday, May 3rd, 2025, the 151st running of the Kentucky Derby will take place at Churchill Downs located in Louisville, Kentucky. Right now, it looks like 20 ponies will come charging out to the starting gate.. Here's the rundown.

I'm going for Rodrigues for the win and American Promise as my longshot.

Hi Doug- I didn't realize that it was time for the Kentucky Derby! Thank you for the reminder. Our friend and neighbor who recently entered a care facility for Alzheimer's patients loved watching the Derby.

Hello Doug - while I don't recall ever imbibing a mint julep, I do remember associating them with the Kentucky Derby.  I believe I have watched the event but it's been a long time - maybe I'll catch the racing forum in advance of Saturday.  Ahh, not likely. . .

Good morning, Doug... can't say I follow the horses, but I do enjoy all the lead up to the Kentucky Derby and seeing the race.

The Triple Crown horse races are the only ones I follow Nina Hollander, Broker

I don't pay too much attention to horse racing, but I do like to see the Bob Baffert horses win, since he and I attended the same college, haha.

I think most of us like watching the major horse races Brian England

I don't know much about the Kentucky Derby or the horses, but I have a stepson named Owen so would have to go with Owen Almighty!

That's a logical choice Kat Palmiotti 😁

Good morning Doug. Rodriguez as your winner? Are you betting on a quick start out of the four gate? Several horses have better odds although poorer starting gates. What does your crystal ball know that I do not? Gotta ask and now I will have to watch the race. I may want to borrow your crystal ball! Enjoy the race.

We'll see what happens Wayne Martin. My Spidey senses fell on Rodrigues and I always pick a longshot

I'm reading this a little late Doug Dawes but it reminded me how much my Mom liked the poneys. Her dad (my Grandpa) used to take her when she was a little girl.

Good Morning Bob "RealMan" Timm 

I only watch the Triple Crown races. BUT my original pick to win, Rodrigues, scratched 2 days before the race with an injury. So I picked my backup horse, Sovereignty, who went on to win.
