Who do you like for the 2013 Kentucky Derby?

SJP? ;-}

I don’t follow the sport, but I do enjoy Derby day.

Regardless of the horses’ odds, I always pick the one with my favourite name.

For what it’s worth, I’ve never won. ^_^ It’s a great excuse to drink a Mint Julep, though!

I might go with Verrazano, because I grew up with that bridge outside my bedroom window.

I have not followed it much. I will not be wearing a grand hat, but will switch my drink of choice from Blueroses and Bourbon to Mint Julep’s for the occasion.

What are the weather conditions for the race? Frac’s a good mudder by reputation but slow. On a wet track it might be a good bet.

@Adirondackwannabe Looks like an outlook for a sloppy track. He’s also got Victor Lebron riding and Lebron is having a good year!

@Blueroses I wish I could be in the bar hanging with you guys for the race. The last World Cup final we watched in a bar with about 300 crazy people. That was so much fun. I’ll pull for Frac Daddy for you guys.

Thanks @Adirondackwannabe! We’d definitely save you a seat and a pint (Frac’s owners own a local brewpub – they’ll be debuting a Frac Daddy Ale, I’m sure, to go with their other great horse’s namesake, Golden Ticket Lager).

I’ll be betting $20 to win and $20 to show on Frac, just because it adds to the excitement when you have a stake in… also probably have to put side bets on Calvin Borel’s and Jose Espinoza’s mounts because they’re awesome jockeys.
