The Derby

I was busy yesterday and didn't get to listen to the two most exciting minutes in sport, but I understand that Animal Kingdom won the Kentucky Derby yesterday.

No, I don't follow horse racing. I was stationed in Kentucky for three years and living in Kentucky made me aware that horse racing exists. I watched Affirmed run in 1978 and he went on to win the Triple Crown. As it turns out, Affirmed is the last horse to win the Crown, which consists of the Kentucky Derby, the Preakness and the Belmont Stakes.

Congratulations to Animal Kingdom. The Preakness goes off in two weeks.
