I love Derby Day! My ex-husband was a horse trainer the whole time we were married, first at Suffolk Downs in MA and then at Calder in Florida. I spent a year being a hotwalker and let me tell you those people work hard! 4:30 a.m. to feed the horses every morning and then back again in the afternoon.

I tried calling MA to have someone bet on Curlin for me, but they'd already been to the track and were at home waiting for the race to start.

I love the Derby, but think the Breeder's Cup is the best-- a whole day of top notch races, and the consistency of the good horses make it a handicapper's dream.

The jockey's happiness was the best part. He looked older and maybe less "cool" than some of the more media savvy pros. My favorite jock is Edgar Prado. he used to ride for us before he became famous. He's a really nice guy. On Derby Day, I always miss being a part of the racetrack.

I wish they had thoroughbred racing here. I know a lot of people think racing is awful for the horses, but most of them are kept in the highest condition and beloved by the people who care for them.

I wonder who the Queen bet on?
