Derby Fever

Last Saturday Deb and I attended the unveiling of Eight Belles’ Gallopalooza horse and the re-opening of the Derby Museum. Eight Belles collapsed right after finishing second in the 2008 Derby. The Gallopalooza is in the garden right outside the gift shop, where the ashes of Eight Belles were scattered.

This weekend we are headed to opening day Spring Meet at Churchill on Saturday, and the Cherokee Art Fair on Sunday.  The private jets will start buzzing in next week from all over the world.  The balloon glow is going to be downtown this year, no idea who's bright idea that was but we are going to skip it.
