i pick....Animal Kingdom! oh wait, it's too late

Has anyone ever BEEN to the derby? it's an amazing experience.

when i was a little girl, i wanted a horse, as most little girls do. And I always said if i ever got a horse, I would name it Charisma. dunno why, just thought it would make a great name for a horse.

fast forward to 1999, when i'm no longer a little girl, and some friends and I head down to the Kentucky Derby. "everyone place a bet, you HAVE to!"

So I stood in line, looking at the bill, and there, on the bottom, at 30-1 odds to win, was a horse named "Charismatic". HOLY SHIT! It was like fate. walked right up to the window and plunked down 10 bucks for Charismatic to win.

And whaddyaknow....he won! Of course. I knew it! The first and last time I ever bet on a horse, and it turned out to be the one who would come closest to winning a triple crown in 20 years, and probably would have if not for a horrible injury in the Belmont.

Amazing story, actually: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charismatic_%28horse%29

my only regret about that day: i didn't wear a ridiculous hat

Never meddle in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup!

I was at the Perris Fairgrounds OTB today with manifest bitch Dan Cook and my longtime fireman pal, the "Doctor". We had a great time, nailed the win in the derby and rolled out with Ben Franklins stuffed in our pockets. And we tossed back a Stella or three!
