People who don't watch racing are so cute...
I was invited to a Kentucky Derby party hosted by people I don't know by a friend who is going. When I accepted she emailed back, "Great! My husband and I will get there around 8PM!"
Hee hee hee. I did let her know. They'll be arriving at 5 instead.

They are Zenyatta's fan base.
 On a positive note I do hear from many old friends who know little about racing twice a year, a day or two before the Derby and a day or two before Breeders Cup. And they're not looking for advice on how to make a mint julep, how to dress or what to eat. So there is hope.

Actual conversation from a couple of years ago at my local Montana OTB:
Random patron: "Should be an interesting Kentucky Derby this year". Me: "Yep, plenty of competitive horses, for sure". Random Patron: "By the way, where are they running it at this year?". Nuff said.............
