Derby Day!

We're only a few hours away from the 2011 Kentucky Derby. Here is the field of horses:

I wanted to go with 'Stay Thirsty' but the FP Gal took it. So I'll go with my back up plan (i.e. pick a name having to do with cats) and go with 'Derby Kitten'. What's amazing to me is how long the odds are on almost every horse here. Only two of them are at less than double digits to win. If I was a betting man I'd plop down $20 on all of the 10/1 and 12/1 horses. If any of the five of them win (which isn't a bad bet) you'd double your money.

Relia is picking 'Dialed In' because of the pink silks. For DF we went with 'Brilliant Speed'.
