"The Kentucky Derby? There's no an adjective able to describe its greatness" Jose Gregorio Guillot. Venezuelan horse racing analyst and radio producer. Greetings from Venezuela.
Yup I turned down two trips to the Kentucky Derby I didnt understand it till at a Fasig Tipton sale a Kentuckian explained the entire thing over mint juleps absolutely more American than Apple pie...
This was the first year I really got into the Derby trail. I liked Proud Appeal and Bold Ego, neither of whom did much. Woodchopper was a decent closer.

Thank You for this valuable information.
Battaglia called this one like the 3rd at Ellis Park on a Wednesday. What a horrendous caller he was.
Horrendous!
Terrible!
Pathetic horse racing caller!
Thank God Mike Battaglia quit that job many years ago and he became a horse racing commentator!
They should have added a few horses. Pretty small field here.
