So, I'm not into horse racing or even gambling but I always love to watch the Triple Crown races. My great grandpa on the other hand loved to bet on the ponies LOL nothing major but as a hobby/interest. Being the horse loving little girl I was this gave us our own common interest and he was the one who would tell me all about horses and racing and the triple crown races, odds and betting, he was the first one to tell me all about Secretariat and drove me out to the farm where he was born and bred (this was back before it was sold to the state). Well into his 90's you could find my great grandpa sitting up at the "parlor" watching the horse races at least 2-3 times a week.
So I watch the Triple Crown races each year, it's just ingrained in me. Even been to Churchill Downs, though not for the Derby specifically (I hear it's nuts). I usually make appropriate edibles, all for about a 90 second event LOL
What a race this year though! No one saw that coming, kinda wishing I'd have dropped a 1000.00 bet on him. Now to see if he can go all the way!!!!
