Its almost Derby day

In two more days, owners, trainers, and jockeys will be in the biggest race of the year. It is like the super bowl of football, the championship of basketball, and the World Series of baseball. It is the Kentucky Derby, where people from all walks of life tune in to watch a fantastic race. It is this race that I long to be in. I created this blog because of this race. Looking back I have come a great distance in getting closer to fulfilling my dream. I'll be keeping my eye on the the number 10 horse Twinspired. His jockey is none other than the legendary Mike Smith. Although the odds are against him I believe it comes down to how much the jockey and horse want to win it together. My second favorite would be the number 11 horse Master Of Hounds. Garrett Gomez will be racing this horse for his first Derby win ever. Even though he is one of the greatest jockeys in the U.S., he has yet to win the Kentucky Derby. Two other people I'll be watching is the number 1 horse Archarcharch ridden by Jon Court, and last but not least, the number 7 horse Pants On Fire. Jockey Rosie Napravnik will be riding him and will also be looking at setting a record as the first woman to win the Kentucky Derby. Major props go out to her. The only thing that could have made this derby better is if Joe Talamoe was racing in it. Good Luck to everyone. This Derby should be a great one!
