I was raised in Kentucky. Could give a shite about this pseudo-sport. Was also the youngest Ky. Colonel in 1976 at age eight with lots of invites to the Derby. I'd rather watch putt-putt golf. The Derby is nothing more than Kentucky trying to pretend they have actual culture rather than just a wee bit of corn and tobacco agriculture.

The pretentiousness in this statement is absolutely hilarious. Turning down Derby invites at age 8. GTFO.
The Derby is fun. Yesterday isn’t going to stop the thousands of attendees or off-track parties associated with it. It’s as much about the party as the racing itself. Horse racing has other issues it needs to address if it wants to survive. But protecting other horses and jockeys isn’t it.
