Derby 2019
May 4, 2019 All day
We were dry most of the Derby Day, but an hour before the big race it began to rain steadily, stopping at post time. We had an interesting outcome for sure. Horse, Country House, captured the 145th Kentucky Derby but only after the race when initial winner, Maximum Security, was disqualified for interference.
Poor Aaron. He had the winner with Maximum, but while waiting in line to cash his ticket, he heard the announcement of the disqualification. It would have been about $150 winner for Aaron, but he ended up a loser just like the rest of us!
We played golf at Chariot Run on Friday. Weather was good – in the 70’s, and the course was in good shape.
Thanks to Dave A., the old-timers got to stay two nights at the casino.
From initial Post: The Derby this year is Saturday, May 4. The boys will be getting the Winnebago again this year and we will leave at 8 a.m. Friday morning, play golf at Chariot Run in the afternoon, and take the Winnebago to the derby on Saturday. We don’t have hotel rooms yet but anyone interested in going either sign up here or contact Pat.
