Yes, i'm another horse racing/Disney fan and would love to discuss the Derby. It will be a year for big exotcics that's for sure.
Went to the Derby once and said "never again,unless I have $ to sit in rich seats." Grandstand was a zoo, horrible lines for bathrooms/betting, most people there didn't know a racehorse from a donkey and were drunk by 1 p.m., and because I'm short, could only see the horses ears as they went by as everyone stood up. Breeders Cup is a much better live experience for racing fans.
