Kentucky Oaks


In Kentucky, yesterday, the Kentucky Oaks was raced. The Derby Parade is finished, Thunder Over Louisville exploded into a kick off, and the celebrities are arriving the Barnstable gala. If you've not experienced this, it is something you've missed. In many ways, Louisville exists for the events of this weekend. The rituals are irreplaceable and the memories are always beautiful. I think fondly of my time knowing the sounds of trumpets and I applaud another year of horse breeding, training, and laboring on a track. Here's to all the years and all the people who make such an event happen.
