        Location: North of the 49th Parallel | I don't know if anybody watched but Shedaresthedevil won the Oaks (Daredevil fillies going 1-2) and the Law took a beating today with Authentic winning! Sure weird watching on the First Saturday in September! |

       Location: Montana | Watched the Derby, first time I've actually gotten to, good race! Kind of sad the #10 horse got scratched right before. I think he could have made the race more interesting. |

  Location: Rc | One heck of a race this year for sure! I do agree that if it weren't for the 10 horse (Thousand Wishes) flipping over in the paddock and getting scratched, it could've made it a whole lot more interesting. I was rooting for Tiz the Law (17), NY Traffic (15), and Authenthic (18, winner) so I did good I guess. I think that the 'problem' here was that Tiz The Law was VERY favored and overrrated/overlooked, so it made it seem like a major upset. In reality, Authenthic was actually the 3rd or 4th favorite.

Same thing happened yesterday too in the Oaks. Gamine was pounded heavy at the betting windows even though there was questions on her around two turns and nobody even mentioned Shedaresthedevil (I had her!) and she went off at 17-1 at fourth choice. A lot of favorites got beat on the undercard today so I was not surprised to see Tiz the Law get beat today. Fits 2020. |

Couldn't agree more! Yesterday, it was Gamine Vs. Swiss Skydiver. Instead Shedaresthedevil won and ran the fastest KyO ever. Earlier today, it was Serengeti Empress who was the favorite. She ended up losing to Bell's The one by centimeters. In the KyD, it was Tiz The Law vs. A.P Andy. Both had an alright performance, but Authentic stole the show.

| Always smart to have a protest at a major sporting venue that was empty. No one would have known they were there or cared if the spirts casters hadn't pointed it out. Still didn't get much coverage. |

| The owner of Necker Island made me sick. He just had to bring up his support of black lives matter & their protest. For goodness sake, this was the kentucky derby not your rasist sounding ground. Then the jockeys wearing black arm bands. Come on people, that was just pathetic. Very sad. |

I get all my local news from Louisville and I didn't hear what he said. However I don't believe the Derby was held without fans just because of Covid-19. Honestly many BLM people were trying to get him to withdrawl to show them support. I saw interviews before the race and he showed class. However things in the area are crazy because of the shooting of Breonna Taylor, (google) which happened back in March. Due to staying home during the pandemic and watching news all the time everyday. IMO they have every reason to be stirred up and they are still not getting answers. There are many people to blame for the screw up and the lack of answers. Look at how long and what her family had to go through to get the autopsy reports. The nuts who protested at Stone Mountain have been in Louisville over the shooting were really planning big stuff for the Derby if they didn't get some answers by Derby Day. (Which they didn't) Louisville is a mess I live North and stay away as much as possible. Sad what has happened in Louisville. I don't know how bad it was over Derby and Oaks they had protesters and counter protesters. I was busy riding and having an outdoor Derby Party. It was a very strange Derby having hosted at least 30 Derby Parties weirdest one ever. I loved the Oaks.... do you think she ran the fastest because she was more mature? Congrats to anyone who bet her. |

Rand Paul has introduced a bill that would get rid of no knock police actions, but he is not getting any support. |

I hope he gets support, because you barge in my house in the middle of the night I will shoot too. I really don't feel to sorry for him, look at how bills have sat on Mitch McConnell's desk for a long time. |
