2011 Kentucky Oaks & Derby
Time to start watching the races leading up to the Kentucky Derby so I have a clue who to bet on on Derby Day, May 7th.
2011 Kentucky Oaks & Derby | May 6 and 7, 2011 | Tickets, Events, News.
Events at Mpact Sports!
For those of you in middle Tennessee: Events at Mpact!. Elizabeth used to go here for gymnastics. They are a great bunch of people.
Zenyatta lost
… by half a head! This is the Breeders Cup Classic I’m talking about.
I thought she was hurt or something the way she ran dead last, 20 lengths behind. Then she came out of nowhere and would have won with two more strides, but it was too late. It figures the horse who beat her is named Blame. :)
Giants win!
For the first time in my lifetime, the S.F. Giants have won the World Series! And they did on my birthday! Adding to my joy was seeing George W. Bush in the background, clearly unhappy. :)
Kentucky Derby
Here’s a list of possible starters for next week’s Kentucky Derby

The experts are divided between Big Brown, Colonel John and Pyro as their picks. You can see their picks on that page, above. You can also see all the horses’ recent race results. Pyro was the overwhelming favorite until he finished 10th in the Blue Grass last time out, behind Monba. I like Big Brown because he has such a long stride, he blew past everyone and won the Florida Derby last time out. Of course, the same can be said of Colonel John, who won the Santa Anita Derby. Florida Derby winners just seem to do better in the Kentucky Derby for some reason.
