When Denis of Cork started off ... and was about 3 lengths behind ... EVERY OTHER FUCKING HORSE UNTIL THE THIRD TURN! I was kind of pissed off.
Then he placed.
And all was correct in proper in the world again.

I lost big on my Trifecta but won some back on Big Brown.
The wife won some on Eight Bells but almost cried (along with almost every other philly in the place) when they put her down on the track.
I'm still trying to figure out exactly what happened.My 3rd Mint Julep seemed to be made with soda water or ginger ale and it wasn't that bad at all.

I went to Churchill Downs once. I won the fourth race.

Get yourself a white seersucker suit and a white fedora. Then proceed to grow a handlebar mustache. Bingo bango. Then siah, I say siah, you're ready to drink mint juleps.

You could have the $1000 mint julep - I think the ice is brought in from the north pole or something stupid like that.
http://www.allheadlinenews.com/a…- and I thought the $8 ones in a plastic commemorative cup was pricy, I'm usually good for 2 or 3 before I need to switch it up to beer.fooler

I take a bottle of Makers Mark, drink like 5 shots, then add simple syrup and steeped mint leaves to fill the bottle back up and I throw it in the freezer for a few weeks. Then still prepare the julep as you would but you have steeped mint inside of the bourbon as well. That is my up north way of doing it. probably blasphemy to some, but they are incredible on a 90 degree day.

Mint Juleps are pretty much the "just the tip" of the bourbon world.

Salisae, I have found it is a great delivery system to get females to drink bourbon.

My advice, bet a trifecta boxed and make sure the place them BEFORE gets your drink on. Mint Juleps hit you like a ton of bricks.

I've like pyro since last year, but his last race (10th) has me worried. I don't really like the jockey on Col. John, but maybe he's due. Never count out e. prado, so adriano could be a dark horse. I think the winner this year will be a 10 or 15 - 1. Big brown is starting outside (20) so I think he's gonna press hard early to get towards the front(like he always does), but it's a long race so I think he'll tire.
Track should be dry, with only rain overnite and early morning...
