It’s Derby Day! 🏇
The most exciting two minutes in sports is anyone’s guess this year, after a week full of drama and five scratches already (the most since 1936!), including heavy favorite Forte just this morning! Out of the 18 horses still in the running, five are grays! 🤍😮
Mom’s soft spot for grays means we are obviously rooting for new favorite Tapit Trice, but my contemplative horse friend and I will also be cheering for freckled gray Reincarnate and keeping an eye on rather inconsistent Verifying and intriguing longshot Mandarin Hero. 🐎🐢
🔙 Who remembers when I first met my white-socked horse friend nine (!!) years ago? Back then, I could ride on my horse friend’s back!!
🐢 Psst . . . Old Forester, what happened to the Kentucky Turtle Derby this year?! 🥺
