Enjoy the the race, Brian.

Never did quite understand the sport, but I know people get worked up about it.

Oh My....hope you stocked up on your...what do you call them there?  "Tinnies"?   ahead of time then Brian.


I am wondering how this day  stacks up against the Kentucky Derby.

Yep, just like the Derby. The ladies use one hand to hold their hats on in the breeze, one hand to hold their skirts closed in the breeze and one hand to carry unbelievably expective cocktails while walking on the turf in stilettos.

Wouldn't miss it for quids.

(Mad Rush to win.)
