I also can't wait for the World Equestrian Games. We're getting ready for it here in Lexington, KY. I've just published a book about horses and horse farms in this area of the world, <a href="http://www.kentuckysunshine.com/books/" rel="nofollow">Horse Farms & Horse Tales of the Bluegrass</a>.

The whole freakin' city goes ape-s**t. But I can definitely appreciate the grandeur of it all. My oldest friend lives in Louisville, and she DREADS Derby Week. The whole freakin’ city goes ape-s**t.

It was fun to watch, but then I was so sad the filly had to be put down. Poor girl. Linda - that's very cool! Mon@rch - me neither, but I want to try to get the Finger Lakes race track this summer! Mary - Party on! Jayne - Wow, very cool! It was fun to watch, but then I was so sad the filly had to be put down. Poor girl.

I miss that. Not the Derby - just the party :o) My next door neighbors (who moved away in September) were from Kentucky and always had a Derby party. I miss that. Not the Derby - just the party :o)

I do love watching these three big races but somehow I always seem to have something planned for that time. It has been nice hearing about all the horse race info on NPR recently!

It was loads of fun and very expensive and it was something I'd do all over again even though it broke us. I tear up to that song, too. I love horse racing.

My parents were friends with some people who had box seats year round and so got to attend the Derby many times. They both LOVE the races, and will be heading there next week after the Derby is over. I get them official Derby t-shirts each year to wear today in celebration. It's really exciting! The horses and the flowers and My Old Kentucky home... makes me smile too Pam. :c) I’ve been to Churchill Downs a couple of times.
