Did I hear people booing when Gov. Beshear presented the Kentucky Derby trophy?

Is the racing crowd GQP?

1. Rich people sport....so, yes.

4. Horse racing at Oaklawn Park in Hot Springs is pretty blue collar -

at least at the areas where I hang out. The Jockey Club types keep to themselves behind their guarded doors.

6. True.but, tickets to the Derby are very expensive.

7. Good point.

I have only been to Churchill once, in the late 80's when I was assigned at Ft. Knox.

As someone who had been going to Oaklawn for years, I thought Churchill was a dump. Surely, they've renovated since then - right?

8. Haven't been. Was on my bucket list, but tickets and lodging rates too high for me.

2. Didn't hear, wasn't watching.

3. Thought I heard some booing. Probably because he saved too many lives last year from COVID.
