    The sun shines bright in my old Kentucky home.
    ‘Tis summer, the young folks are gay.
    The corn tops ripe and the meadows in the bloom
    While the birds make music all the day.
    The young folks roll on the cabin floor,
    All merry, all happy and bright:
    By’n by Hard Times comes a knocking at the door.
    Then my old Kentucky Home, good night.

    Weep no more my Lady, oh weep no more today!
    We will sing one song for the old Kentucky Home,
    For the old Kentucky Home, far away.”

    I like Tapit Trice to win.
    I put $$ on Kingsbarn.
    The Japanese horse, Derma Sotogake is the wildcard.

    Looks as if I made another mistake. NBC and not CBS will covering “Derby Day” and the “Run for the Roses” in Louisville.

    Of course another wonderful tradition on Derby Day is seeing all those pretty young Ladies wearing their pretty Spring outfits.

    Ain’t much to a mint julep. Mint, sugar or simple syrup, and bourbon.
