Usually, I pick a horse based on his name. This year, I'm picking the female jockey, riding "Pants on Fire". Great name, too!

LOL!

I've got my bonnet ready, and I'll be home from work just in time to catch the race!

I don't care for mint juleps, so I might just go for a martini this year!

GO PANTS!!!

Hey, I was going with Pants on Fire also. I liked the name and the female jockey. I saw a special report on her and found her to be interesting, so I'm pulling for her too.

I have a friend who puts on a dandy derby party every year. The only betting is via drawing out of a hat for horses but it's a tremendous amount of fun with all of us cheering madly for the obvious potential non winners. lol

I wish I could ring up Daddy John in Burnley, Lancashire.
He's the one who taught me how to bet on 'the horses' down at Ladbrokes in Wakey!
