I believe the only thing exciting about it is people putting 1,000's and 1,000's of dollars on one horse, and only to see a race that lasts about 30 seconds, and see a different horse win every year by half a mane.

I just don't see the draw.

mmmm,...the draw?
lets see,.....
i love the horses,.......its amazing how fast they move,.....
i love the smell of the track,.....adrenaline, horse sweat, and money
i love to see all the hats the ladies are wearing,....
i've never had a bad time at the track, even if i lost alot of money,.....good friends,.....its fun,......and i always get pretty toasted (i've got two bottles of reisling in the cooler for today)

for me, i guess its more of a social event,......and mix that with my love of horses and its a win win

I think you underestimate the amount of rednecks on here.

That was so sad when they had to euthanize the horse.

I live about 10 minutes from Churchill Downs (where the derby is held), and I honestly hate the event. The amount of traffic increases by 100x throughout the metro area.
