The KY Derby

[John Connor]

Is it a sexual marathon? NO! It's where a bunch of horses race their ass off every year and people lose hoards of money.

What's your pick? https://www.kentuckyderby.com/horses

I'll go on record and take Thunder Snow.

 

[Crono]

I'll take Always Dreaming, purely on liking the name of the horse and the name of the owner (Brooklyn Boyz Stables).

EDIT: wow, Brooklyn Boyz is actually Anthony Bonomo...

 

[BD231]

I'd pick any horses with the last 2 letters ending in E D.

 

[IronWing]

I'm going with the brown horse for the win.

 

[ultimatebob]

I'm liking Always Dreaming for this one.

Just remember... your horse might not win, but the Mint Juleps are always a winner.

 

[IronWing]

I'm leaning toward Looking at Lee because I knew a horse crazed woman named Lee. McCraken might be okay as McCracken County has good (horse? ) barbecue.

So I update my trifecta as:
Win: a brown horse
2nd: Looking at Lee
3rd: McCraken

Phil McCraken is a good choice for the KY Derby.

 

[John Connor]

Release the Mccraken!

Yes, did see a hookup occur in the infield, under blankets. Also a BJ in the men's bathroom in the box seats, grandstand. It's a drunken mess.

Pro tip #1: Don't order the mint juleps. These are a wreck of HFCS minty-whatever and really cheap bourbon (if you call it that legally).

Pro tip #2: Walk around the concession stands before ordering your first drink. Look for the leaky perfect-pour guns that serve alcohol. (Perfect pours are those guns which are supposed to pour a single ounce and then shut off but these things really pour less than ounce.) The leaky guns do occur and cannot be fixed hat day.Instead of turning them off they just allow them to be used and hope for the best.

Make sure you make eye contact with your pourer, give them a wink and tip them well. You will get great drinks for the rest of the day.

That's disappointing. I made a mean Mint Julep at my viewing parties with fresh mint, sugar, crushed ice, and Woodford Reserve.

Is KY a sponsor of the event?

I'm not betting a single fricking horse race until someone puts up a thoroughbred named Turd Ferguson.

(I would also accept: Suck it Trebeck)

Hey, something else to do if I ever hit the lottery.

sounds like a fine idea.

So Always Dreaming wins.

So Always Dreaming wins.

In a dominant fashion, too! We might have another triple crown contender.

Two out of three ain't bad.
