Shoutout Zach Lyles. Shoutout Will Webb. Shoutout Sturgill Simpson. Three of my favorite people hail from the bluegrass state and I’ve been fortunate enough to tag along with two of them to Churchill Downs before. If the Masters is a Tradition Unlike any Other” then I guess the Derby can’t be BUT it is definitely just WASP Dega. The outfits. The mint juleps (Lordy). The pageantry. And most importantly, the stars of the show, the ponies. These aren’t just any regular old horses. These 3-year olds are the biggest baddest horses on the planet. And my goodness is it fun to bet on them. Me and the fiancé out looking for somewhere to live rn but all I can think ab is the derby. And bc of how big we gonna hit it today we’re gonna be able to get a sick spot for next year.
