Derby Day at Churchill Downs was glorious. The weather was perfect. We had winners. We had a great time with friends. My Derby horse ran great, but just not great enough. Firing Line looked like a winner at the 16th pole but American Pharaoh was too good. I had an $18 winner in the second race and a $49 winner in the fourth. Plus a couple more winners who paid $7 or so. Therefore, my long Derby/Oaks day losing streak has officially ended. We made back all we had lost the previous three days and then some.
Tom Brady and Gronk and a bunch of Patriots were at the game but didn’t stop by our box to say hello. The nerve!
After the Derby dinner was take out from McDonald’s as we were both exhausted. We ate it in the room and then zonked out. This morning we have early brunch (10:00 am) with our friend Judy at the Bristol Bar and Grill and then head to Indianapolis for our return flight to PHX.

Styling!!!!! You guys had fabulous weather. What a glorious day even if you didn’t win the big race. Looked great on TV. Saw that even Elaine’s horse Frosted almost made it up there!! Safe travels home!
You crossed the Finish Line in style. Nice photos. Have a great flight!
I’m a wee bit disappointed that you cut off Elaine’s shoes in every shot. Looking for that styling!!!
WELCOME HOME!!!!
