It’s that time of year again… almost. Derby time. The 2013 Kentucky Derby is May 4th & never fails to disappoint. This year I’m getting a bit earlier start on checking out the contenders for the derby & am reading up on their stats. You can view all of the horses here, now I’m not saying that I’m going to bet on the Kentucky Derby but who knows I might.
If you are someone that wants to get involved with the fun and have a go at betting take a look at The Winners Enclosure. They are great if you want some guidance on which horses are looking the best in each race of the festival.
The derby is an iconic event even if you are not a horse person, you can’t help but watch. Plus it’s not just about the race, it’s about the parties, food, fashion & lifestyle. Everyone is an equestrian enthusiast for a day & I like it. Last year I inspired you with a Kentucky Derby Entertaining & food… it’s an absolute must to sip on a mint julep while watching the race.
As a non-horse person some of the names of the contenders may be a bit funny but one of my favorite things is reading the names: Texas Bling & Fear The Kitten might be my favorites. Although I’m not going to reveal who I might be betting on yet, after all I don’t want you to steal my horse ; ) I’m sure ESPN will be blowing up with anticipation when we get closer. For now – we are at 38 days.
