My Old Kentucky Home, Goodnight

Y’all wanna see me cry like a baby? I’m in section 114, row K at Churchill Downs and that is what I’m doing exactly right now. Every single time this song comes on, I’m reduced to this tiny little puddle of Kentucky-shaped love.

Reimagined Field

The field has been announced, but this is the race I’d truly love to see.

The 139th Run for the Roses

Heaven is the Jockey Club.

So, this is my favorite two-week period of the year. Better than Christmas, Halloween, and mayyyybe my birthday is the Kentucky Derby Festival, and, of course, the greatest 2 minutes in sports. I’m going to feature different Derby traditions and Louisville lore all week, culminating in the Saturday race. If you were wondering, no, no one in this city is working at all.

Get ready. This is the best ever.
