Kentucky Derby
I always thought the Derby was sort of romantic. Down south with everyone dressed to the nines. Does anyone here do anything to celebrate the derby? |

| We usually have a barn Derby party but somehow it slipped under the radar. I really don't care for horse racing.
Bob the Wonder Pony's grandfather is Foolish Pleasure, who won the Derby in 1975. |
I can't wait... I love watching the Triple Crown races  |
| Wow! Tell Bob I'm impressed! I'm thinking of putting roses in Keira's fur...but I think she'd just eat them.  |
We do - it's tradition. I love the Triple Crown races, too, but the Derby is my favorite by far.  |
| Used to love horse racing, but I've seen too many injuries now can't stand it.
Still, party hardy! Whatever excuse there is for a party is grand!  |
| I like to watch the races too.
Wow, Bob is a real celebrity!!! Woo-hoo!! |
I have a large Tea Hat for these special occassions.  |
| Dawn, I bought Bob when I lived in Minneapolis. He was born in Waverly. Is that close to you? |
| Waverly is a little town just west of Minneapolis. Almost on the Wright/Mcleod/Carver County lines. (where they meet)
It's about a 2 hr drive from me. I didn't know Bob was a MN boy! |
| I love the Darby!!
Actually i grew up in New Mexico with both Quarter Horse and Thouroghbred horse racing in Ruidoso NM at the downs. Every weekend. Both are beautiful in their own ways....... I love a long race,,,,, but the short ones are exciting too....... Quarter horses also have a triple crown racing too....... I've often thought of naming dogs after some of the horses names i've seen. |
| HEY! WHO KNEW!!!! bob is from here in MN??? You shoulda told us earlier. who knows, I may have seen some relatives of his last weekend at the horse expo! Or maybe running at Canterbury park? (Dawn, did you come up for the expo?)
Christina and I are going to watch the derby together. but no mint juleps for me! |

| Hummm.... don't think that's quite the same. I'll have some nice fresh made lemonade instead! |
No, we didn't make it up to the Expo this year. 
We had 2 wedding showers for LeAnne - one Sat, one Sun. Had a good time doing that though. How was the Expo this year? It was so much fun the past years we have gone. |
| went to a derby party with derby and won 14.00 whopee more treat for him |
| How fun! And congrats! It was a really good race. And...I loved seeing the queen in her lime green coat, and lime green and hot pink hot! |
