Kentucky Derby vs. NASCAR. My money's on the car.

Alas, it's not quite as cool as it sounds; the Derby will paint the logo at right on David Reutimann 's car for Talladega, and Reutimann will go to Churchill Downs next weekend to watch -- not ...

Picking the Derby Winner — The Fan Blog
I'm a firm believer that history repeats itself at the Kentucky Derby. It does so in the fashion that the same type of horse usually wins the race. Therefore, even though a full field of 20 usually shows up at Churchill Downs on the first Saturday in May, its easy to eliminate a lot of the horses going to the starting gate. This year based on past history I eliminated 10 horses and was left ...

Ladies' Day at the Track: The Kentucky Oaks — Hugging Harold Reynolds
It's Derby time again - that annual celebration in the city of Louisville where we blow off work for a couple days, drink way more than we should, and end up dirt-poor and severely hungover.

What to read while loving Louisville — Card Chronicle
I spent the better part of this morning roaming the backside of Churchill Downs, and there's simply nothing like watching the sun come up and cover both the twin spires and the beautiful creatures parading around below them; even when it's 38-degrees and you're one of maybe three people there who decided not to bring a jacket. After a couple of hours, I found myself walking next to Steve ...
