Kentucky Derby Louisville Kentucky May 3, 2004Louisville turned out to be a sweet surprise as well as Lexington, yes the grass isdefinitely greener in Kentucky. Just a few shots to describe a memorable trip.Of course there are beautiful horses.. This was taken at Keeneland Track in Lexington.
But the big dance is the Derby and we joined the 156,000 + who enjoyed the day, the mint juleps and the racing, The only sad part is what happened to 2nd place Belle at the end of the race.
Now Jean prides himself on NOT being a betting man, but um…that is a program, that is a mint julep in his hand and he sure does look the part!!!
This was the view from our seat, 156,000+ strong, a sea of hats, color and the smell of mint juleps and cigar smoke----Southern Folks sure do like to party!!
The Louisville Slugger Museum is a great place to visit.
And the Mayor and I had a nice talk, goodness I love a man who
listens!!
Your have or course heard of the Louisville Cardinals, but the surprise on Sunday morning was this very friendly peacock who would have climbed into our car if we let him!
And no, we did not have winner, but Big Brown is surely my favorite in the rest of the Triple Crown races! |
