Kentucky Derby
Anyone else besides me ever watch the Derby? Being raised around horses I try to keep up as best I can. Anyone have any favorites? I'm going with Renegade

I was pulling for 6 speed. The reason is obvious.

I thought it was a pretty exciting race. Started at the back of the pack. Wove his way thru and on the front straight away came around on the outside and took the lead for the win. It was too bad the gray horse got spooked, reared and fell on its back before the start of the race. I think that made all the horses anxious and jumpy at the start of the race.

My wife was a manager at Churchill Downs for a while back in the 90's. One of the worst jobs she ever had. The most rich folks treat the staff like they owned them, like indentured servants or slaves. Lots of straws got wiped on body parts before those mint juleps got served.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
