Two weeks ago I watched the pandemic version of the Indianapolis 500 and today I watched the pandemic version of the Kentucky Derby. No fancy hats, at least not on site, but the race did go on. They are both great races and I enjoy them. I love the roar of the engines and the grace of the horses. As I said, both great races, but the Kentucky Derby has better names. Authentic won, Tiz the Law came in second and Mr. Big News was third. I'm not sure where NY Traffic and Storm the Court ended up. I think the winning car at Indy was a Honda but that's all I remember. The Indy 500 cars are really colorful and plastered with the ads of their sponsors. Evidently Kentucky Derby winners do something similar. I noticed the name 'Jeff Ruby's Steakhouse' printed on the winning jockey's pant leg. Kind of ironic when you think of how carefully jockeys have to watch their weight. The KD winner didn't get milk but he and the horse got roses. Another fun fact, today was the 146th running of the Kentucky Derby, making it the oldest continuous sporting event in the US.
