Drowning at the Derby

I like watching the Kentucky Derby, one of the few sporting events I really enjoy.  Today, during the singing of the National Anthem, nicely performed by "Lady Antebellum", a huge rainstorm blew in. It was a gusher. People were scrambling to put up umbrellas, which often got turned inside out, and holding on to their hats. The storm passed in just a few minutes and by the time the race started the track was almost dry.  Sorry I can't say the same for all the big, beautiful, floppy, soggy hats. Best quote of the day "If you want to make a small fortune in horse racing you'd better start with a large one."
