NSR: WHAT a Derby!!!

[Stig / Major Tom]

NBC does a good job presenting America's greatest race every May....the Kentucky Derby!
Once again - an anything can happen race!
2nd longest shot in history wins,  fastest first quarter in history ....and a $30K horse takes it after a last minute scratch gets him into the field!
Great stuff.

Why was the horse biting the other one? Probably drugged up.

I myself am more of a nascar person. One thing I would like to have on my bucket list is to see a horse race in person.

This was probably my favorite race of all time.  80-1 Would like to have had $10,000 on that horse. I love to see underdogs win.

I have watched harness racing in person, they used to have it at the local fair, but some reason, stopped a while ago,

I used to follow Nascar, nearly 50 years ago, but racing as a spectator sport, does not excite me as much now

Got a choice of 3 major tracks within 50 miles of where I live and you know what?  I've never been!

Derby Day here too next month - that'll be on the Epsom Downs though, not Kentucky!  Maybe HM the Q will get a winner at long last to mark her Jubilee?

Herself owns and enters a horse in this?
Is this the horse race over shrubs, ponds, food carts, playground equipment, dogs and children?!
I love that one!
(do the horses ever attack their riders afterwards - for having subjected them to this craziness?)

No, you’re thinking of the Grand National at Aintree, Liverpool, the Derby is on the flat I think. And yes, the Queen owns and enters her own horses. She’s judged to have an excellent knowledge of form and training!

If you didn't get to see it.....
Our horse is to the far left in the gate, #21
