While Friday is Cinco de Mayo Day, Saturday May 6th will mark the 143rd running of the Kentucky Derby in Louisville. There are twenty horses entered which makes for a stampede to the first turn. A sentimental choice might be a one eyed thorobred named PATCH - but he doesn't wear an eyepatch. And, no, the Derby is not a handicap race. I always enjoy the parade to the post to the strains of Stephen Foster's "Old Kentucky Home" and let's hope PATCH doesn't get scratched. And don't let them dilute your mint julep.
