Derby and Oaks (2005) : Sold my ticket to Oaks this year and didn't go to the Derby, either. Here's some stuff from the day before at the track. Later that night we were treated to a reunion gig (3 years) of a band that became a favorite of mine in Baton Rouge: <a target="_blank" href="http://LoveJones.net"><i>Love Jones.</i></a> Turns out they're Louisville natives. The concert was held at an airport hangar, and it just so happened that the Goodyear Blimp (in town to cover Derby) happened to be tethered a couple of hundred feet away - and completely unguarded. We helped ourselves with permission to come aboard.

The Kentucky Derby Infield 2005 : <B>The infield is sort of the underbelly of the Kentucky Derby. This is where you have to park in somebody's front yard and then hike a few hundred miles just to get to the gate. The infield is where you see some of the drunkest people you have ever, or will ever, encounter. There is not one person that does not return from a Derby infield without at least one story that starts with, "There was this one guy that was so drunk"

If you do not have a story like this, watch out, because it means you probably were that guy.

"That whole thing will be jammed with people; fifty thousand or so, and most of them staggering drunk. It's a fantastic scene--thousands of people fainting, crying, copulating, trampling each other, and fighting with broken whiskey bottles."

The Kentucky Derby Infield 2007

The Kentucky Derby 2007 : The 2007 Kentucky Derby was the 133rd running of the Kentucky Derby. The race took place on May 5, 2007. The announced attendance was 156,635, the third largest in Derby history.
Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom was a special guest of Churchill Downs and attended the race in her first visit to the United States since 1991. The Queen has stated that it was one of "her dreams" to attend the Kentucky Derby.

Street Sense, sent off as the 9-2 favorite on his home track, paid $11.80 as the highest-priced winning favorite in Derby history. Smarty Jones paid $10.20 to win in 2004.

The Kentucky Derby is a Grade I stakes race for three-year-old thoroughbred horses, held annually in Louisville, Kentucky, on the first Saturday in May, capping the two-week-long Kentucky Derby Festival. The race is one and a quarter miles (2 km) at Churchill Downs. Colts and geldings carry 126 pounds (57.2 kg) and fillies 121 pounds (54.9 kg). The race is known in the United States as "The Most Exciting Two Minutes in Sports" for its approximate duration, and is also called "The Run for the Roses" for the blanket of roses draped over the winner. It is the first leg of the Triple Crown of Thoroughbred Racing in the US and typically draws around 155,000 fans.
