Mine That Bird wins Kentucky Derby



This has been the talk of the town today. It was a real stunner yesterday when a 50-1 longshot who was bought for a mere $9,500 won the 135th running of the Kentucky Derby by 6 lengths! This horse got very little local press over the weeks leading up to the Derby. No one really expected him to win. His Jockey, though, Calvin Borel, also won the Oaks race the day before, and won the Derby on Street Sense two years ago! Exciting stuff... at least to we Louisvillians!






Speaking of the Derby, guess who already has Derby Memorabilia. I had to start Kerry a Derby Pin collection, and I'm looking for a Derby glass from last year since that's the year she was born ( I have one from 1974, my birth year) . And then there's this...



Yes, I got this special edition Derby Barbie for Kerry (not me...really).
