Derby Week Day 6

I have titled this Derby Week, but thought at one point I should call it horse week. We went to a Thoroughbred Training Center a nd the Kentucky Horse Park. We went to the Derby Museum and had breakfast on Millionaire ' s Row. But it hasn't been all about horses. Yesterday we went to the Louisville Slugger factory and the Buffalo Trace Distillery. Below are some pics from the week.

Today is Oaks day, what is called Louisville ' s Derby. Tomorrow is the big day, Derby, but rain is forecast for both days, all day. Once we get to our covered seats, it will be okay, but getting there could be a big problem. I have an idea about what horses to bet on, but not what my betting budget will be.

Have met some nice folks here, and while hectic, it has really been a special week. Here are some pics.

You can't really see it well, but this was a table full of mint juleps

and bottles of Maker's Mark that greeted us at the Claudia Sanders Dinner House (site of birthplace of KFC.)

One of the gorgeous white thorobreds that are at the Kentucky Horse Park.

The Twin Spires at Churchill Downs. Tomorrow, there will be way more than one person in that shot!

Outside the Louisville Slugger Museum. That bat is massive!

Couldn't resist climbing into this chair at the Kentucky Horse Park.

Here we are at 6:45 lining up for breakfast before one of our long days.
