Virtual Kentucky Derby (1 Viewer)

[Big Jilm]

We celebrate the Kentucky Derby every year. Unfortunately, the derby has been postponed until September . However, that does not mean we are not having fun today. NBC will be airing the 2015 Kentucky Derby followed by a virtual race of triple crown winners. My wife and I will be dressed up, she will have her fancy hat, and we will make mint juleps and enjoy the virtual Kentucky Derby! I got Secretariat by a virtual nose!! Anyone else playing around today?

I lost $25 on the virtual derby and $100 on the AR derby. Just practicing for when I will lose a lot of money for the KY derby in Sept. lol

I missed the derby yesterday. It was sunny and 80 degrees. Mother Nature was just mocking us Kentuckians.
