Surviving The Kentucky Derby 2010
Tips for surviving the Kentucky Derby and the Kentucky Oaks. It’s the 136th Run for the Roses! Fashion discussion on such items as hats, dresses, and tips regarding your shoes. Advice about the Derby Infield Port-o-Pottie Roof Top Races. Pari-mutuel betting advice, discussions about the long bathroom lines and the bathroom attendants, the unsung heroes at Churchill Downs. An honorable mention of Matt Carothers and his life-time absence from the Twin Spires. Has Chris Kotulak been there? This Railbird would like to know. One thing that was not mentioned in our single take ['Shaw Michael Buckley!!], please leave unnecessary credit cards at home. Keep your purses close and men, keep your wallets in your front pockets. Our credit cards didn’t leave our person, but they were both in Ed’s wallet in his back pocket. The card information was electronically lifted while we were at the Derby and the thieves then attempted to go for a wild ride on us [both E ticket rides were cut short by our banking institutions, and thank you for that Wells Fargo]. The Kentucky Derby 2010, the 136th Run for the Roses, at Churchill Downs, no race, no hat parade, just some useful tips for first time attendees. Enjoy! The best enjoyment we get in life can often times come from the anticipation. Here’s the field, the post positions, the morning line odds, and the jockeys: 1 Lookin at Lucky 3-1 Garrett Gomez 2 Ice Box 10-1 Jose Lezcano 3 Noble’s Promise 12-1 Willie Martinez 4 Super Saver 15-1 Calvin …

You look so professional with your nifty desk. And I bet that hat makes you feel SUPER great when you wear it.
Maybe one day I can go to a derby & use all your tips. =)

I can barely survive in life and on here let alone the Kentucky derby……even though I have never been to a horse racing event and never plan to. Hope the tips will help first time newbies.

This was great, most folks who KD wouldn’t know a horse from a goat. Betting and the races are ok. Too many people.However the real attraction are those dresses, hats, and shoes. Maybe not so much hats, but it would be a toss-up between a day at the beach or the KD. Them girls are ahhhhhwesome.

I’m about *this far* from calling KD “ambiance” almost “elegant” (although I’m clueless about horse-racing)
Class-act Fer and her hats (the ones uncrushed by United, I mean) certainly “win” the day (if not always the races themselves..:)

Awesome flick Fer and I hope you had a grand old time and won first place doing those porta potty roof top races cause I have a feeling if you’re drinking those drinks at the end like you had, you’ll be doing a bunch of crazy stuff!?!:)
I am not sure about going now that you say there’s a big line for the restrooms since I know I would be going at least ten times a hour!?!:(
